So much to blog about!

Crafty Bit #1: Handmade Nation Showing In LA, August 15-16

I already have my tix and hope to have my book signed by Faythe Levine. It’s going to be at the Silent Movie Theater on Fairfax, and I read that there’s going to be a mini craft fair during the August 15 showings. I’ve been waiting for this since last year! Check your local showings on the Handmade Nation blog, HERE. Get your LA showing tix HERE.

Crafty Bit #2: Renegade Craft Fair in Los Angeles This Weekend! (July 11-12)

We’ll be taking over the entire 13th floor penthouse of the Center, where gorgeous 360-degree views of downtown LA will provide the backdrop for our FREE urban art, craft and DIY extravaganza! We’re so excited, let’s say it one more time: FREE!

Over 200 artists are traveling from all over the country and abroad to participate and sell their handmade goods at Renegade Craft Fair – Los Angeles. From clothing and accessories, to stationary and concert posters, with everything from bath products and ceramics in between – there’s surely something for everyone!

I’m definitely going on one of those two days and am jumping-out-of-my-skin excited. If you’re in Los Angeles and would like to go, lots of info are on the Renegade Craft Fair blog HERE.

Crafty Bit #3: Shameless Self-Promotion

The awesome staff at The Urban Craft Center blogged about the coin-stack quilting class that I took there. Those are my fingers wrestling with the sewing machine, haha! There’s also a photo of me and the quilt I completed in that blog post that you’ll find HERE. I loved every minute during that class, and plan to blog about the experience soon. And big thank you’s all around to the awesome staff at UCC (and to Rhea for the photo above!). I can’t wait to go back for more classes.

Full crafty steam ahead!
