    Cold Hands, Warm Heart

    Tuesday, February 26, 2008, 05:56 AM CST [General]

    It was a bit icy here in the Ohio Valley over the weekend, so in addition to a few other crafty things, I was inspired by this old adage to create something. I printed a photo of my frosty yard, onto shrink plastic, and added text in Photoshop. The heart is made from vinyl that I hand-stitched and stuffed with ribbon. There are also many loose, tiny hearts made from shrink plastic, too.

    Off to CHA

    Friday, February 8, 2008, 06:44 AM CST [General]

    Tomorrow I'm off to CHA! I'm really excited about catching up with many friends there and also meeting new ones. And of course, it's always fun to see what new products and trends will stand out. I'm usually terrible at taking photos, but I'm going to try to be better this trip, and I'll certainly try to at least get some pics of my plexi-ring demo that I'll be doing Monday morning. If you're going to the show, stop by the F+W booth between 10:30 and noon to say hello.

    Oh, and one final thing to share, check out this cute new blog called A Bead A Day. Normally beading topics tend to be on techniques or projects, but I like the idea of drawing attention to a single bead. Sometimes less is more!

    See you soon!
