 A little vintage crochet/knitting fun for a Friday. These images are from a 1943 booklet that Cathy sent me, “Woolies for Babies,” published by Chadwick’s Red Heart Wools. Wow! That’s a lot of ruffles! I think baby gender identification ran a bit more . . . traditional in 1943. I love the baby’s slightly exasperated … Read On! There’s More!  Okay, we have winners! Ruth, Kerri, Marlies, and Lain will get the mags. I’ve already contacted you for mailing addresses. (Except Lain, who, conveniently enough, will be in P-Town this weekend!) Woo! This giving stuff away thing is really fun. :-) And I had a great time reading about everyone’s favorite beading projects in the comments. … Read On! There’s More!  What are you doing on Sunday, March 9th? If you’re in any of the cities listed above — including Portland, then I hope you’re coming to the CRAFT 06 Release Party! Susan and I are thrilled to be co-hosting the Portland bash. It’s at Twisted, from 1-4pm. Moxie will be on hand, too, demonstrating how … Read On! There’s More! So, the Bead & Button Show (that annual megathon in Milwaukee) is in June. But online registration is now open for the over 500 classes that take place during the show. To give you some idea of the frenzy, about 80 of them have already sold out. If you tremble for the sparklies, there’s … Read On! There’s More!  This is a craft blog, not a political blog. But voting is important no matter what your hobbies are – I think we’d all agree. Rachel turned me on to Crafters for Obama, which is the first time in this long election process that I’ve seen crafters openly galvanizing for a specific candidate. Whether you … Read On! There’s More!  Hey, everyone – just so you know, I’ve just put up a podcast index page in my sidebar. Many of you have kindly pointed out that it’s getting . . . er . . . not extremely easy to locate past podcasts. I hope the index makes this better. If nothing else, it certainly … Read On! There’s More!  Okay, so, feeling better, but still laying low today. Thought I’d share this, though: during a web search for something totally unrelated, I discovered that the Portland Church of Craft chapter is listed in the Wikipedia entry for Portland! Holy Moly – check this out: “Portland is well known as a hub of American youth culture. From … Read On! There’s More!  Okay, let’s do the bad news first. This week’s podcast is going to be late. I’m running a fever, and need to rest instead of edit. Apologies, and sincere promises of eventual listening pleasure. And since my brain is foggy, let me share some cool things that other people are up to: ————————————————————- Kathie and Shannon, of … Read On! There’s More!  Heather brought me this book at Church of Craft, with the warning: “You can’t give it back to me.” Like I would! This is an awesome early craft book on so many levels. I love the cover, and the illustrations are charming throughout. Look closer at the title, though. Heather and I wondered: what prompts a … Read On! There’s More!  Church of Craft over the weekend was also something like Christmas, as two wonderful ladies brought me prezzies! How lovely is that? My friend Bridget (who isn’t blogging, but if she ever does it will be amazing – Hi, Bridget!) brought me the glorious bag you see above. You can’t see this in the photo, … Read On! There’s More! |
