ParentHacks…
There was a great post on PH I read today re making easter egg shaped sidewalk chalk using plastic eggs, and they mentioned they had a widget for their blog now. Just playin' with it…
ParentHacks is just one of the parenting blog I keep up with via Bloglines, though the majority are design (love design*sponge) and crafty blogs. And the occasional gossipy fashion site.
Wish vox was compatible with performancing firefox plugin.
I am a sxsw widow this week, but the toddler went down easy and fairly early tonight, huzzah!
Glow in the dark diecut stars…
I have added a new category of products, d.i.y. & kits, and a new product: a set of 10 glow-in-the-dark stars that can be used as appliques/embellishment on your own items (clothing, a tote bag, etc) either by hand-sewing or machine stitching. Probably could do more than one item! There are a mix of 4 sizes, I cut them myself on my die press….
On Stylelicious this week…
Don’t forget that over on DIY Network at 2pm Central you can catch the Austin Craft Mafia girls on Stylelicious.

Knitting for Peace
Heard this inspiring podcast today, Jennifer from craftsanity was interviewing Betty Christiansen, the author of “Knitting For Peace: Make the World a Better Place Once Stitch at a Time.” Great to have compiled info re organizations that need handknitted donations all in one place. Such a noble use of stash!
