 Happy Holidays, my friends! I had plans for a larger post, in which I shared more images from my vintage Christmas books and waxed rhapsodic about 2011. But then… … My activities counselor decided it was time I stopped doing things and threw himself down on my photo background. Thank you indeed for reading and commenting … Read On! There’s More!  Well, it’s been announced on CRAFT, so I can talk about it over here. I’ve decided to end my contract as Editor in Chief and come back to my own business. It’s not appropriate to discuss too many details, of course, but the position just wasn’t a good fit for me. Of course CRAFT is … Read On! There’s More!  OK, here’s why I have such a “Deer in the Headlights” face in that photo. You may have seen the announcement by now – I’m the new Editor-in-Chief of CRAFT.

(Because, no matter how much you know about blogging or any other subject, you can never beat the laser-beam view from a fresh set of eyes. … Read On! There’s More!  Okay, so as I was surfing around the interwebs, I discovered this interesting website called Flickr. Maybe you’ve heard of it? …And it appears that you can set up your own groups on this Flickr. So I had this really revolutionary idea: Why don’t I create a group for CraftyPod? You know, where people could … Read On! There’s More!  I don’t think anybody would deny that the ol’ CraftyPod has needed an overhaul for quite some time. It’s one of my biggest failings: I get involved in so many projects all the time, I always get behind on maintenance things. Anyway. This new layout is a work in progress, but already orders of magnitude … Read On! There’s More!  It’s Christmas Eve and a nice, puttery day around here. I hope you’re having a fun and relaxing celebration, too. Thank you so much for reading this blog in 2009. It is always a joy and a privilege to share crafty goodness with such a talented, excellent-brained group of kindred spirits. Here’s to a 2010 filled … Read On! There’s More!  Here’s where I’m spending my October weekends – at The Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie Island. I’m helping my parents with their Fall photo booth. Here’s the stage, all set for photo-subjects. My job is to pull the images from the camera and make photo prints. The Patch is a hub of activity all month – hayrides, animals … Read On! There’s More!  Something a little different today – a review of a fiction novel! The Enthusiast isn’t exactly a crafty novel, although crochet does figure prominently in the plot. Actually, the back-cover summary had me at hello: “Henry Bay has his own America going. If there’s an offbeat interest or extreme sport that’s poised to sweep the nation, … Read On! There’s More!  Happy Friday! A couple cool things happened around the webby-neighborhood today: This week’s tutorial went up at CraftStylish. Since it’s Weddings & Celebrations month over there, I made these cute party favor baskets from stiffened fabric. They’re super easy to make (just need lots of drying time) and are fun table decorations. And then, I was … Read On! There’s More! |
