PAX Crafter Round-Up

Awesome artwork for our panel – For the Love of Crafting II: The Wrath of Yarn – by panelist Sarah Mendiola As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I was approved to run a crafting panel at PAX again this year, hopefully making this the beginning of a new PAX tradition. I felt this year’s panel was […]

R2D2 dress and hat

  I made another dress! I’m sure you’re all shocked. Every PAX I find myself scrambling with some awesome project that I only thought of at the last minute but am desperate to have done in time. This year it was all those felt pins I posted about the other day, and an R2D2 outfit. […]

crafting caddy for the car

It’s road trip time! I am doing some in-a-van travelling with friends this week, piggybacking on their work trip to visit friends and family in the prairies. I’ve done lots of crafting on the road before, but it’s usually a bit of a pain trying to keep your small seat space tidy when you need […]
