Crafty Bloggers Update

Saturday July 4, 2009
One of the many blogs I read this week was Reflections in the Pond. Silverlotus wrote a post entitled, "Cross Stitcher's Public Awareness League". Her post is well worth a read. In it she points out that we need a Cross Stitch Celebrity. I think so too - who would you nominate?

Here's what's going on with some of my favorite Crafters - they are rock stars in my book!

  • The Impatient Crafter

  • The Artful Crafter
    Eileen suggests you go shopping for craft supplies in your jewelry box and closet. Make an old accessory into something new and fresh.
  • Stefanie Girard's Sweater Surgery
    Old plastic bead necklaces go under the knife (and in the toaster oven) to make Melted Plastic bead Star Earrings perfect for the patriotic holidays
