New book: Feltique

There is a new book out about working with felt titled Feltique. I am excited to announce that I have contributed three tutorials to this book. I have not had a chance to see the final product yet, but judging by all the amazing artists that contributed to it, I know it will be fantastic.

Summer Garden 2009

I had success with last year's garden, so I have planted another this year. Because I live in a concrete jungle, I need to use flowerpots.
























I managed to squeeze in:
20 strawberry plants
6 herbs
2 tomatoes
1 pepper
1 mandarin tree

I am already enjoying the delicious strawberries and am really looking forward to harvesting the rest. You can see a photo of last years garden here.

Happy 50th Barbie!

Coraline the Movie

I rushed out to see the Coraline movie on opening day. It was fantastic. I saw the 3D version and the glasses took some getting used to, but they worked very well. The artwork was superb and the music and story were just right. I highly recommend this move.

There are a few fun crafty links for Coraline over at the CRAFT blog including a knitting pattern for the Coraline sweater and a button poster.

Be sure to check out the map on the Coraline website. It is interactive and shows you a bunch of neat stuff.
