i've been in a sort of craft dull zone: wanting to start a new knitting or crochet project, but in need of an inspirational kick in the boo-tay.
currently am waiting for my pal petra to pick me up for the big felt club show at the shrine expo center. CRAFTACULAR!
it's not just about felt, it's all crafts. and there is food! and booze! and yarn! and fabric!
next installment is sure to be choc-full of inspired rambling! woo. i am getting giddy. or it could be that the americano is kicking in. :)

i spent a week at a craft show one night
perhaps you just need to learn the joy of a well used pipe cleaner or square of felt.
i'd like to resubmit my request for a kelly green muffler... will send color swatch post haste.
xoxo
i'd forgotten all about that! now i have a motivation to visit a yarn store! yes!
