Toyota recall: Prius, Corolla models affected by recall HONG KONG (CNNMoney) -- Toyota Motors said Wednesday it was recalling 2.77 million cars worldwide, its second major recall in as many months. The recall mainly covers certain Prius models and was prompted by a problem with the steering intermediate extension shafts, which can suffer damage if sharp turns are made at slow speeds. A second problem with electric-powered motor pumps affected some 630,000 vehicles, the company said. The automaker said 670,000 of the recalled cars were sold in the United States. An additional 1.5 million vehicles were being recalled in Japan, along with 496,000 in Europe. A spokesman for the company in Tokyo said the recalled Prius cars were of the model's second generation. Wednesday's recall is the latest embarrassment for Toyota, which last month announced a recall of 7.43 million cars due to a power window problem that posed a fire risk. That recall was the largest issued by an automaker in years.

recycled scrap paper notebooks we blessing sisters have loved notepads, notebooks and all things paper since our first wide-rule pads we bought in gradeschool. we have trouble letting go of even a single sheet of paper, lest we find a use to reuse or recycle it in the craft room! this time, we repurposed our old faxes and paper scraps into notebooks and made them useful again. we pulled out old wrapping paper, books we didn’t mind ripping pages out of, and other odds and ends to make the covers pretty. this is quick and easy to do with what you already have at home, and you end up with a stack of handy, useful pads that might even give you a tinge of back-to-school nostalgia. –bbbcraft sisters CLICK HERE for the full how-to after the jump! Materials: - 8 ½” x 11” scrap paper (from faxes, printing mishaps and mail) - binder clips - scraps of cardboard cut into 1” inch strips OR 2 wood paint mixers cut to size -elmers glue, pvc or a glue gun - paint brush - decorative scrap paper - masking tape and/or decorative tape

All going well after reading through this you should be able to make one of these. First a disclaimer.

Easy DIY Leather Journal/Notebook - The Nectar Collective Remember my recent visit to Tokyu Hands? I picked up some fun crafting supplies and I’m excited to share this tutorial with you based on the stuff I bought! I love words and literally have about 15 random notebooks floating around my room filled with ideas, quotes, to-do lists, or nothing at all, so making one of my own has always been on my bucket list. Since Spring is starting, I wanted to make a colorful notebook to fill up during this season. Leather (but you can use just about any fabric you want really!) 25 sheets of Paper (I used brown recycled paper, but you can use regular printer paper, too!) 1 piece of card stock (for the inside covers) Embroidery floss (you’ll be able to see this color on the spine, so keep that in mind!) Large embroidery needle Velcro Super glue (choose one that works on the fabric you use) Ruler 1) Depending on how big you want your book to be, you might want to cut regular printer paper in half. Instead of velcro, use a button. Thanks for reading!
DIY Book Jackets I have so many little notebooks floating around the office that are only partially used, but are starting to look a bit worn on the outside thanks to being pulled in and out of bookcases countless times. So I figured I might be more inclined to keep using them if they had nice, new looking covers again.. you know, giving them a fresh, new lease on life ;) They’re dead simple to make, and fun too! So let’s go… All you really need is: - Paper or thin card in colours of your choice - Ruler - Pencil - Notebook you’re wanting to cover (easier if it’s just a stitched or stapled spine) - Scissors - Sewing machine and thread Step 1. For example: Notebook Size: 140mm x 180mm Card Size: 148mm x 260mm *Alternately, instead of only adding 4mm each side of the height (8mm total) you can add the usual seam allowance of 1.5cm to the height (3 cm total) to make it easier to sew later down the track. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Step 5. *Note: See Step 1 for alternative to sewing so close to the edge. Step 6.
