 With a squeal of delight, I snapped up this 1955 Girl Scout Manual a couple weeks ago. Aside from the awesome illustrations and charmingly earnest writing, it has full descriptions of all the Girl Scout Merit Badges. I loved merit badges as a kid — still do, in fact. I wish we could still earn … Read On! There’s More! Please excuse the lack of posts over the last few days. Poor CraftyPod was hacked over the weekend, and we’re still working to bring her back to her fighting form. Sadly, if you’ve left a comment here since Sunday, it’s been lost. And things will look a little bare-bones around here until I have time … Read On! There’s More!

At the recent craft supply swap, I was absoluely thrilled to find a Jiffy Stitchery kit, in great condition. I LOVED these kits as a kid — in fact, I learned to embroider from them.

Since I forgot my camera this time, I’ll offer up a tutorial instead. These are based on Mexican Shrine Wallets, which are small, tri-fold pocket shrines. Unfolded, they reveal pictures of saints, a miniature rosary, and a printed prayer folded up into a pocket. There’s … Read On! There’s More!  A conversation about quilting with precious mementos, with Kay Bailey. Kay’s quilts break all the rules of quilting while honoring its history. Her work has deeply touched people’s lives. Read On! There’s More!  My apologies, everyone. The new CraftyPod will be a couple days late. We just lost our beloved cat-friend, and need a little recovery time. I hope to have the show posted by the end of the weekend. Many thanks for your patience. Read On! There’s More!  I thought I’d share one of my all-time favorite Oregon places today. It’s a family-owned theme park called Enchanted Forest, right outside Salem. What does this have to do with crafting? You’re absolutely right to ask. Enchanted Forest is really a handmade, DIY kind of theme park. I’m enthralled with the story of how it … Read On! There’s More! |
