All aboard for the Small Craft launch!

My friends Amy and Ethan Cronkite are embarking on a new (ad)venture in the City. This weekend, they are kicking off with a Launch Party at the TrumbullPlex in Detroit.

What’s Small Craft, you may ask?

Small Craft will be setting up a pop-up shop of upcycled crafting supplies in the Trumbullplex Theatre, during the Zine Library open hours. We will have many different supplies for sale, all on a pay-as-you-wish-price scale.

Michelle of Aisle 3 did a really nice interview of Amy with more information on the Small Craft launch; the live music, the zine library, and the free knitting lesson…

Naturally, this is a kid-friendly event and I’ll be on hand to play crafty-time with Ella, Ramona, Henry, and whoever else comes along with mom and dad!

I hope to see you there.

Crafter’s Meetup, anyone?

Do you like Crafting, snacks, and laughter? Join us this Wednesday, when Rae and I are hosting another Southeast Michigan Crafter’s Meetup – this time at the new MakerWorks in Ann Arbor.  We’d love to see you, so register here if you can make it.

As usual, we’ll have outlets for sewing machines, cutting space, irons, ironing boards, and most importantly: snacks.  Feel free to bring something to share.  We’ll have Coffee and Hot Tea on hand.

I’m making clothes for my kids for school….what will you bring to work on?

What did I take on vacation other than my Bernina and some fabric?  Why, crafty mags of course!

I selected some Domestic and Overseas magazines:

…and read *all of them* in the car on the trip up.

My new favorite is Mollie Makes.  My all-time favorite isn’t shown here (probably was actually reading it at the time) and that is Threads.

What are your favorite magazines to take on trips?  What do you like to read at home? Do you read them for the pictures or the articles?  Which ones have your favorite tutorials or practical applications?

I’d love to know!
