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 the really-genius Back and Forth Project, are seeking submissions for their Friend Friday project. From their blog:
“We’d like to build a tribute to the physicality of moving something back and forth between two people- and utilizing the internet as a means to document the beauty of getting back to a more multi sensory, visceral experience of staying connected … So! We invite YOU to submit a project you and a friend will make and pass back and forth through the mail as you each embellish it.”
Lovely. Learn more here.

Check out Portland’s newest yarn store, Yarnia, where you can custom blend your own yarn. And then just try to tell me that P-Town isn’t the coolest city ever.

I’ve been doing lots of great artist/crafter interviews on DIY Alert lately. Check out Brent Wear‘s awesome bird paintings, Heidi Lauman‘s paper cut work, and super-cool soft toys by Dolls For Friends.

Oh, yeah – because every post needs a picture, that’s my finally-completed baby blanket for Khadija’s blanket drive. My first-ever completed crochet blanket. More flaws than you can possibly count, but still, I’m fond of it. Hope the mother who receives it likes it, too.
Oh, no!! Get well soon! And, they aren’t flaws in the blanket, they’re character. :)

So sorry to hear you aren’t feeling well. Hope you can get enough rest this weekend.

Don’t worry about not publishing your podcast, it will only make us appreciate it even more! :)
As I was looking at the “Yarnia”‘s website, I read in their “About the store” page that their owner used to live in Montreal and that her store is inspired by a Montreal store called “La bobineuse de laine”! I think it is so amazing to be inspired by what people do in another country and bring the best of it home. :)

How do you even get all that info out when you have a fever? You must have Craftitis.
I don’t know what the cure for that is, but I think future trips to thrift stores will help.

Get well soon! Rest, chicken soup and maybe some grapefruit.

Flaws? That’s called TEXTURE or, “visual interest.” Get better soon.

I am amazed at the length of your post considering you are not feeling well. You are a powerhouse, Sister D! I love the blanket. You know, I bet noone can tell that there are flaws but you. Some baby will be wonderfully lucky to have that lovely blanket. Take care of yourself!

Please do not worry about the podcast! I, too, have succumb to a nasty cold. Just focus on getting better. If you feel anywhere near as bad as I do, then I wish you blessings! Well, I wish you blessings anyway! :o)
