Dave is the best

Here’s a picture of Dave modeling the bag that’s going to be in the book. It’s a picnic-style bag that’s big enough for toting lunch for two! This isn’t a photo from the book…it’s one I took back when I first made this style of bag. I’ve seen some of the photos from the book, and it looks cram-packed full of amazing projects from other designers, too!

The publisher sent us a sneak of the cover, too! Wanna see?

Ever since running across the crazy selection of brightly colored duct tape at the craft store, I’ve had duct tape crafts on my mind. I’ll be honest here: I really really really want an excuse to splurge on a roll of teal duct tape!

Want to share my obsession? Here are a few duct tape crafts and resources to get you daydreaming!

You guys! I just learned something super exciting! Not only do a bunch of my friends, like Christy from a. bardis and Shannon from Patina have projects in Gath Johnson’s new book 1000 Ideas for Creative Reuse, but I got a thank you in the Acknowledgments! And that’s not all. They also listed Crafting a Green World under the internet resources in the back of the book. I was so excited and surprised to see my name and CAGW in there when Shannon showed me at Kraftwork, that I maybe squeed a little too loudly causing people in the room to look over.

The book is gorgeous – hundreds of pages of recycled DIY inspiration. You should totally pick up a copy if you haven’t already! I ordered mine on Friday and can’t wait to thumb through.

  1. Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. Feeding folks is how I show that I care, and this is hands down my favorite cookbook for baked goodies.
  2. Ender’s Game. I don’t know what it is about this book, but every once in a while, I just have to read it over again.
  3. Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit. Another one that I just need to read from time to time. You come away from it just feeling…different. I think this was the first book that Dave ever lent me.
  4. Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker. So many perfect, lazy meals in here. It’s really helped me learn how to make my slow cooker do the work for me!

Obviously, I need this book. It comes out March 1, 2010. Here’s her synopsis from over at CRAFT:

Struggling domestic-goddess-in-training Ofy is determined to turn heads at this year’s International CraftOlympics. To do that, she’ll need the help of her best friend, Star. Considering herself a serious artist, Star is hesitant, but finally agrees to help as a way to end her own creative slump. Truthfully she thinks Ofy is a little loca about the whole craft thing — and about her idol: local TV personality, Crafty Chloe. Star doesn’t trust the bottle-blonde, even after she becomes part of their crafting team. As the competition heats up, Star will learn Chloe’s dirty little secret, why crafting means so much to Ofy, and that beauty, art, and creativity can take many more forms than a canvas hanging in a gallery.

I’m pretty tempted to just pre-order it right this second!

Betsy Greer turned Craftivism into a Masters thesis. The creator of Craftivism.com, she believes that crafting and activism are meant to be together. Her new book, Knitting for Good Knitting for Good, is a handbook of projects, tips, and thoughts on using your crafty skills to make the world around you a better place. It makes me wish more than ever that I knew how to knit!
