There’s More!  For the past week, I’ve been in Houston. First, I had a visit with Rachel and Kristin, and then I was working with Clover in their booth, demonstrating the Kanzashi Makers at Fall Quilt Market.

There’s More!  Earlier this year, I did a review of Vickie Howell’s new yarn line, Sheep(ish), for CRAFT. In the process, I whipped up a little crocheted clutch (the light blue one above, in fact). Vickie, being an extremely nice person, said “People are going to want the pattern for that bag!” Pattern? What? I just kind … Read On! There’s More!  Thought I’d share a bit of sorta crafty, sorta science-y tomfoolery we’ve had going on over here this week. (I’ve always wanted to use the word “tomfoolery” on this blog!) So, a while back, I did a post on CRAFT about this amazing bouncy digital camera. Go ahead and check out the little video; I’ll … Read On! There’s More!  Surpriiiiiiise!
