May Birthday Giveaway: a CSA share from Juniper Moon Farm
What?s going on here? My site started ten years ago this month and to celebrate I?m giving away something each weekday. Because I like you.
Today I'm thrilled to say that Juniper Moon Farm [1] has offered a Yarn CSA [2] for one lucky reader, the 2012 Spring Shearing worth $175 (that's some serious yarn). The Yarn CSA works like a farm CSA but instead you get a yield of the scrumptious yarn that is produced from the sheep and goats they lovingly raise. Juniper Moon Farm is amazing run by a small group of people who are dedicated to what they do and are fantastic about sharing what is going on with share holders, visitors, and readers of their blog. The farm was started by Susan, whom I've followed since she started (back then it was the Martha's Vineyard Fiber Farm, which you might remember if you've been reading my site long enough) and I'm astounded and so pleased to watch how it's grown. If you're not already I encourage you to read the blog [3], follow along as lambs are born in the spring on the LambCams [4], see what the farm dogs [5] are up to, you can attend shearing day [6] and even stay at the farm [7] for a week or long weekend. It's really amazing to watch the farm work all year and then find yarn at your door that reflects all of the care and attention that they put into it. I just want to hug the whole farm. The blog isn't just about the farm, I've loved all the Probably Something You Would Like [8] links posts, her recent pictures from Preakness [9], her famous world's greatest granola recipe [10] and how she went paper towel free on the whole farm [11] (it involves making a lot of your own cloth napkins [12], enough so you always have plenty of clean ones).
Would you like to win this amazing Yarn CSA? If so please leave a comment with this entry and let me know the following: Have you ever spent time on a farm? I spent a few summers on my uncle's farm in Oklahoma, he had cattle, two greyhounds, a small lake with a rope swing, a tiny farmhouse and bales of hay that seemed to be piled taller than the house itself. I loved it there. Ok, you've got until Tuesday, May 24th at 10 a.m. PST to enter, the fine print [13] applies, good luck! Closed, thanks so much for entering!

My RSS feed broke, the engine light in my car is on, I was late to meet a friend at the bakery and when I got there I knocked a vase off of a table in a dramatic fashion, the cap of a Sharpie in my bag came off leaving some ugly black spots and when I got home I discovered I have a run in my Spanx. It's only 1:30 in the afternoon. I sincerely hope your day is going better than mine.
update: I also forgot to put a title on this post, which I've just fixed. Hey, if you are looking at this in a feed reader and cannot see the moody photo of the offending Sharpie let me know and I'll try to figure out why RSS might still be broken. My thanks!

I left the house and didn't bring a coat with me today, it was gloriously sunny and warmish. People in Seattle talk about the weather too damn much, and this time of year I find myself doing it as well. We have mild winters without much snow and while I appreciate the lack of icy roads the downside is seemingly endless stretches of gloomy overcast skies. Generally I like the excuse to stay all cozy indoors and do repetitive things (knitting, video games, drinking, obsessing) but the mood stealthily swings into desperation sometime in late February. Its around this time of year that I get nostalgic for Cleveland's snowy winters because at least they broke up the winter into an array of difficult weather that brought new and exciting things to have to deal with. In contrast we here in Seattle tend to be very enthusiastic when the sun is out, like today. Especially when you check Twitter to find that a friend like A Chow Life [1] reports: "I just looked at the 10 day forecast. Rain-- every single day." Then you hastily take a photo of the all too soon setting sun bouncing against a wall so you can remember what it felt like when Friday of next week rolls around and you start to suspect you're actually stuck in some creepy sunshine-less experiment.
In less Need To Snap Out Of It news, today I bought a giant plastic egg for what I hope will become a neat-o Easter thing. We'll see.

Today I learned that my little-er camera needs to manually be set to macro (I knew this but was in denial) and that even when in macro it still won't focus on the point you'd like if that point is very bright. Good to know.
These are some Christmas lights that currently sit where a low cocktail table will live, just as soon as I find the absolute perfect one.

How-To: Bubble Wrap Necklace, from Jewelry Upcycled, by Sherri Haab
Looking at the delicate discs that make up this pendant, I'll bet you'd never guess they were made from humble bubble wrap.
Potter Craft shares a PDF project excerpt today from Jewelry Upcycled: Techniques and Projects for Reusing Metal, Plastic, Glass, Fiber, and Found Objects. Click the link below to download your copy. You'll learn how to transform bubble wrap into this pearly material, and then how to assemble the necklace.
 | Download the Project PDF Right click to save the PDF to your desktop. Directions on downloading PDFs. |
Jewelry Upcycled asks the question: "Before you recycle that soda bottle, scrap that old T-shirt, or toss that broken china plate, ask yourself: 'Could I use this to make something fabulous?" It's a mother-daughter effort from designer Sherri Haab and her daughter Michelle Haab, with 20 projects using materials that would otherwise be recycled or thrown away.

May Birthday Giveaway: School House Craft
[1]
Welcome to Day #2 of my website's birthday month of giveaways! There is a bit more information here [2].
I'm very pleased to have a One Day pass to the School House Craft [3] conference happening here in Seattle Sept. 23rd to the 25th to give to a lucky somebody. School House Craft grew from the Conference for Creative Entrepreneurs that happened here last summer, and which was amazing and packed full of hard learned helpful information from small business owners. It's happening in the Phinney Neighborhood Center here, a charming community space in an old school which happens to be a favorite spot for a lot of the locals. More about the conference:
School House Craft [3] is a dynamic new three day conference for people wanting to gain the skills to run a successful creative small business.
Are you considering staring your own business or do you already own your own business that focuses on craft, art or design? Do you have a shop on etsy, sell to shops and galleries, sell at craft fairs or want to start a new venture turning your passion into a business? If the answer is yes this is the conference for you!
Do you have or want to set up a craft business and can you get yourself to Seattle in September? This is for you! To enter please leave a comment with this post, you have until Wednesday, May 4th at 10 a.m. PST to enter, the fine print [5] applies. If you'd like please answer this question: If you could spend your days doing any craft at all what would it be? I'll go first: After my recent work on the Papier-Mache Easter Eggs I think I would love to spend all day creating delicate pinatas while surrounded by colorful and cheerful tissue papers. OK, good luck everybody! Closed, thanks so much to all who entered! #48 is our winner and she's been contacted.

How-To: Scrappy Felt iPad Cover

Cintia from My Poppet has a great tutorial that covers making the patchwork and then creating this pretty lined iPad cover with it. And I could also see the patchwork as pot holders, trivets, and a spiffy new iPhone case.

May Birthday Giveaway: goods from Schmancy
Today I'm happy to have a selection of goods from Schmancy [1], a tiny but super awesome shop here in Seattle (which you should visit if you are anywhere nearby). Schmancy is owned and run by Kristen Rask, author of books [2], runner of Urban Craft Uprising [3], creator of School House Craft [4] and general powerhouse. In a happy coincidence Schmancy launched a new website just yesterday, lookin' good.
The package from Schmancy includes a zipper pouch and strawberry magnet hand made by Kristen herself and three collectible items from her shop: a Dunny 2010 Series from Kid Robot, one City Critters from Mindstyle (all designs are from Jim Henson's sketchbook!) and a Droplets are from Crazy Label. Nice! To win please leave a comment with this entry and if you'd like answer this question: See that rainbow patch on the zipper pouch? It makes feel nostalgic. Have you ever collected patches as a kid? I'll go first: I had a few patches from when I was a Brownie (which didn't last all that long), and I used to go through my mom's collection of patches because they were so colorful. You've got until Thursday, May 12th at 10am to enter, the fine print [5] applies. Ok, good luck! Closed, thanks so much for entering!

The package from Schmancy includes a zipper pouch and strawberry magnet hand made by Kristen herself and three collectible items from her shop: a Dunny 2010 Series from Kid Robot, one City Critters from Mindstyle (all designs are from Jim Henson's sketchbook!) and a Droplets are from Crazy Label. Nice! To win please leave a comment with this entry and if you'd like answer this question: See that rainbow patch on the zipper pouch? It makes feel nostalgic. Have you ever collected patches as a kid? I'll go first: I had a few patches from when I was a Brownie (which didn't last all that long), and I used to go through my mom's collection of patches because they were so colorful. You've got until Thursday, May 12th at 10am to enter, the fine print [5] applies. Ok, good luck! Closed, thanks so much for entering!

Make Your Own Sputnik Lamp
Anyone who is a fan of design has no doubt drooled over the coveted classic Sputnik lamp. Anyone who is a fan of a sweet Swedish deal has probably considered the Ikea version. Jenny from Little Green Notebook came up with a sweet solution for a DIY version using the Ikea parts to create a next-level design piece of your own.

My internet has been nonexistant today so I'm sending this from my iPhone. This is a photo of the bolognese I started at 10am. I'm starting to suspect the recipe author and I have different definitions of "a low simmer". Still, I think given enough time it might be impossible (perhaps Megan proof?) for a bolognese to turn out badly. It would be easier to pass the time if I has the Internet to amuse me. So far I've cleaned the house and washed the dishes and practiced with eyeshadow to create a smoky eye (it's not supposed to make me look like I'm upset, right?) and I've even sorted some kitchen cabinets. The Internet better return or I'll have my tax preparation done before the day is out.

Education Day at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011 (video)
Maker Faire Education Day is opportunity for schools from near and far to bring their students to a sneak preview of Maker Faire. Some of our most engaging makers hosted 1600 kids and everyone had an amazing time. The students roamed from exhibit to exhibit learning about physics, chemistry, and technology. They interacted with electronic giraffes, robots, remote control cars, pedal powered devices and contraptions, electronic textiles, even Tesla coils.
Subscribe to the MAKE Podcast in iTunes, download the m4v video directly, or watch it on YouTube and Vimeo.

Sylvia's Super Maker Show: Mod Podge
At Maker Faire, there are always opportunities for "fangirl" moments. Celebrities like Mike Rowe and Adam Savage will be around this weekend, but my big fangirl moment came yesterday when I stumbled in to Sylvia of Sylvia's Super Make Show. If you haven't seen Sylvia's videos before, take a moment to go watch them. She's one of the coolest kids I've ever seen. We were excited to hear that her most recent video has a crafty theme: Mod Podge. See how she makes block puzzles, custom chess or checker board and more.

Recipe: Basic Chicken Salad
By Katie Goodman
I love making chicken salad for a simple summer meal or to use throughout the week for lunches. Chicken salad goes great on top of salad greens, wrapped in a tortilla with lettuce or spinach, or inside bread for a yummy sandwich.
Here is my go-to basic chicken salad recipe. The flavors are simple, but you can add anything to it you like. Some ideas are halved grapes, walnuts or pecans, and dried cranberries.

daily photo: Mar. 10th
There is no photo here for you to see today. Know what's difficult? Getting pictures of people playing music onstage. Know why it's hard? Colored light gels make skin look very strange, low light and movement make for lots of blur and capturing one person singing in a moment when their eyes are open and their mouth is closed is difficult while catching two people is impossible. So tonight at the secret early test the waters type of gig for a new band consisting of Scott Andrew [1] and Jerin Falkner [2] I got exactly zero usable photos. If anybody has suggestions for super awesome Canon lenses that will help me capture decent photos of people on stage I would really appreciate the guidance.

Taco Truck Chorizo Sopito
Anything "taco truck" grabs my attention these days. We have a great taco truck here in Detroit, Jacques' Tacos, that I try to stop by on Saturday afternoons. Just to the south of me in Columbus, Rachel Tayse, of Hounds in the Kitchen, recreated a recipe for one of her favorite taco truck creations from Taqueria Jalisco - chorizo sopito. Check out her recipe to learn how to make it for yourself.

Travel Crafty Bay Area
With Maker Faire Bay Area coming up this weekend (May 21 & 22!), it's the perfect opportunity to share with you some of our favorite crafty spots around the Bay!
San Francisco
ImagiKnit
Address: 3897 18th St., San Francisco, Calif., 94114
Phone: 415-621-6642
Hours: Mon-Sat, 11am to 6:30pm; Sun, 11am to 4pm
Website: imagiknit.com
From floor to ceiling everywhere you look, you'll find yarn, yarn, and more yarn.
Allison and the friendly staff at ImagiKnit are fantastic at helping you find the right yarn you'll need for any kind of project. I've been coming to this store for years since it first opened years ago and always find inspiration just ogling and touching all the variety of yarns they carry.
You can also just sit in their craft book area and search for your next project through their extensive pattern binders, books, and magazines or sit on their cozy couches and chairs and cast on your new project. Hone your craft skills by taking any one of their classes from knitting and crochet 101 to spinning. You'll definitely find lots of fiber love at ImagiKnit.
Food Match: Find more inner peace stroll across the street at Samovar Tea Lounge for a pot of green tea and their tea-infused cookie plate. Then sit back and knit or crochet in serenity.
/Natalie Zee Drieu
Britex Fabrics
Address: 146 Geary St., San Francisco, Calif., 94108
Phone: 415-392-2910
Hours: Mon-Sat, 10am to 6pm
Website: britexfabrics.com
If you go to Britex, bring cash only. Not because they don't take credit cards, but because you will spend far more than you intend to otherwise! While the prices are on the high end, this is a true fabric emporium of the highest order, all four floors of it. I always feel a bit like the country girl arriving in the city in some old Hollywood musical - I fantasize that people are dancing up the ladders and unrolling bolts of the most glorious silks, velvets, denims, and prints. (Not that anyone would ever behave so indecorously there!) The notions floor is worth a trip in itself.
Food match: If you're looking for lunch, it's a pleasant walk down to the Embarcadero to drool over the offerings at the Ferry Building Marketplace. Full of boutique butchers, locally grown mushrooms, gluten-free baked goods, and artisan olive oils, there are enough fancy food shops and restaurants to bankrupt just about anyone! But it's also easy to grab a perfect espresso at Blue Bottle Coffee, a bento box to go from Delica, or a few briny oysters from Hog Island Oyster Company. On Tuesday, Thursdays, and Saturdays, there's also hopping farmer's market with, dare I say, the finest of the nation's produce. Saturday is the "see and be seen" day, packed to the gills, but it's worth a trip any day of the week.
