Last week LoadingReadyRun made the official announcement that Desert Bus 5 will begin on November 18, 2011. This closely concerns all you artists and crafters out there, especially those who like to make nerdy, geeky, I <3 Mario stuff. Allow me to explain. First of all, what is Desert Bus for Hope?

wet felted Easter eggs
This weekend welcomes yet another celebration of overpriced sugar extravagances and goofy plastic decorations. That is to say, it’s another federal holiday. Apart from hitting up the post-Easter chocolate sales, I plan to spend some time hanging out with family and eating too much. I was also planning to do a bunch of Easter crafting […]

open-ended paper heart box
Ah, Valentines’ Day. The 24-hour span responsible for the greatest number of breakups in the year.

I’m frankly crafted out, and looking forward to simply watching people receive my creations for the next couple days. But of course the last step, after buying or making gifts, is to wrap […]

paper ornaments – it’s Magic!
My friends and I have been playing a lot of Magic over the last few months. For those who don’t know, it’s a highly addictive fantasy-world card game that encourages you to buy way too many bits of beautifully decorated, heavyweight paper. Ie: cards. Not only have we all been buying a lot of cards, […]

felt poppies for Remembrance Day
When I was a kid growing up in the Midwest, each November my American friends would ask me why I was wearing a red flower on my coat. Canadians pretty much blend right in south of the 49th parallel, given enough time, but you can sometimes pick them out by looking for a few weird […]
