Hello there! I'm Sister Diane and I have two grand passions: making crafts and making media. That's what I write about here, and sometimes, I get all thoughtful about internet culture and creative small businesses. Thanks for stopping by! Would you like some tea?

 Two things to share today: Rachel, who is rad, has built a Crafty Google Map of Austin, TX in preparation for the October Maker Faire there. There’s so much talent in Austin, it’s great to have a map that collects it all in one place. Now, why haven’t you made a Crafty Map of your town … Read On! There’s More!  You know that big, secret project? The one I’ve referred to like 5,000 times on this blog but still can’t tell you about? Well, it’s at a critical stage this month, so posts here may be somewhat sparse. I’ll do my best! However, you can click on over to Dabbled, where Dot was nice enough … Read On! There’s More!  Here’s where I join an extremely lucky group of people: I got my beta-test order of custom-printed fabric back from Spoonflower today! In case you’ve missed all the buzz, Spoonflower is a new online company that will print your designs onto fabric – by the swatch, by the fat quarter, or by the yard. The … Read On! There’s More!  I have all these bits of news to pass along today, so here’s a patchwork kind of post: ——————————————- I have a new tutorial up on CraftStylish! This time, it’s Embroidered Greeting Cards. That’s what they look like, up top there. Stop on by and let me know what you think. ——————————————- Lee is having a big blowout … Read On! There’s More!  A couple fun things have happened in Internet-land recently: I took the plunge and joined Twitter. I’ve been seeing so many of you mention it on your blogs, and everyone describes it as addictive. I admit that at first, I thought the whole thing was kind of silly. But, after a full day of Twittering, I … Read On! There’s More!  Just checking in from the World of Vakay. We’ve been having all kinds of grand adventures – just returned from a few days at the Oregon Coast. A few things to pass along: Among my 334 accumulated blog posts to read (ack!), I see that Yarnia has opened an online store! Go, you non-Portlanders, and … Read On! There’s More!  Woo-Hoo! At last I can reveal at least one of the “secret projects” that’s been keeping me so busy lately. I’ve contributed a series of posts to CraftStylish, which is very exciting. The first of these is up on the site – a tutorial for this reverse applique tote bag. I’m really happy with how … Read On! There’s More! So, back in January, I did a video interview for Google Book Search. (They saw my post about it.) But I hadn’t heard anything from the folks at Google after that, so I thought nothing had come of it. And then lo and behold, look what showed up in my site stats this … Read On! There’s More!  I am getting a bit buried in a giant (crafty) project that I can’t tell you about just yet, although I’m very excited to share. So, the blogging is a little slow, although I will have a nice tutorial for you this weekend. In the meantime, here are a few recent favorite things from around … Read On! There’s More!  So, the fabulously-talented Lee is writing for the Threadbanger blog now. And her first post is about this amazing cardigan she made. She cut a sweater in front, and then added a crocheted edging with buttonholes, and all those wonderful buttons. She was wearing it at Susan’s book event last week, and it’s stunning … Read On! There’s More! |
