Sticky subject Let's get crafty, folks. Ductigami: The Art of the Tape, 18 Projects to Make With Duct Tape (Boston Mills Press, $14.95) will keep you going through a rainy Saturday or a losing Bucs game. Step-by-step instructions show how to make suspenders, a tool belt, a cup holder, a watchband and much more. And note that duct tape is available in black and orange for Halloween. Share a square From 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, knitters and crocheters of all skill levels are invited to visit a Michaels crafts store to make a 7- by 9-inch knitted or crocheted square. Tampa Bay area stores are joining others across the nation in this year's Warm Up, America! event. On Nov. 12, the squares will be joined into afghans, to be donated to nonprofit organizations such as homeless shelters, children's hospitals and the Salvation Army. Supersized dreams What is said to be the largest and most expensive Street of Dreams (a single-site showcase of luxury homes) opens today at Bella Collina, a golf course and equestrian community in Montverde, about 20 minutes northeast of Orlando. Eight over-the-top mansions with an average size of 9,500 square feet and prices up to $5.8-million will be on display through Nov. 26. They're open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday; tickets at the door, $15; weekday discount of $2. For details and directions, call (407) 469-4900 or go to www.streetofdreams.com. - Compiled by Homes editor JUDY STARK
