Come play with me, Portland! The unendingly awesome Powell’s is having me in for some fun times. I’ll be doing some felting for you, and I’m bringing some of the projects from the book for you to see all up close and personal!
If it’s what you’re into, I’ll totally sign a copy of my book for you. Actually, why should we limit ourselves?! I will sign a copy of ANYBODY’S book for you. How ’bout that!? How could you not be there?
This event is cosponsored by the Museum of Contemporary Craft in partnership with Pacific Northwest College of Art.

Having failed to post about the now-over-but-completely-amazing Urban Craft Uprising 6th Winter show, here are some great recaps: Leah Pellegrini did a nice write up with photos and a little video. And, the incomparable Rosalie Gale (of Ugly Baby Shower Art, Unanimous Craft, and bARTer Sauce fame) wrote a great UCU post including some unbelievably kind words for yours truly.
The show was a huge success with almost 10,000 shoppers in attendance. One fangirl highlight for me was when Kurt B. Reighley told me he liked my show playlist. (No, really… DJ El Toro said he liked my music selection, ok!? OK.) Kurt was knitting and, frankly, cuddly-looking, and signing his latest book United States of Americana: Backyard Chickens, Burlesque Beauties, and Handmade Bitters: A Field Guide to the New American Roots Movement.
I also joined the adoring hoardes who got to meet Anna Hrachovec and Twinkie Chan!
Next, I’m headed to Portland for Crafty Wonderland to booth it up with my UCU ladies Kristen Rask and Lindsey Ross. I’ll have a few kits and plenty of books so come find me at the Urban Craft Uprising booth and give us some love.
I’ve created a series of new pieces for my very first solo show and they’re almost ready to see you. Please join me this Friday to celebrate their debut.
Opening Reception

(Remaining pieces will be for sale online shortly after the opening weekend.)
Plush You! opens for the sixth year at Schmancy, Nancy and Fancy in downtown Seattle.
The annual exhibit features over 100 plush artists from around the globe. Opening reception is this Friday, October 8th 2010 from 5PM to 9PM and the show runs ’till November 11th.
If you come out for the opening, I’ll be the way elbowing you out of the way to purchase my favorite pieces. Be warned and bring money!
Mr X Stitch (aka Jamie Chalmers) and Beefranck (aka Bridget Franckowiack) were kind enough to spend some time giggling with me on Skype. Now it’s a bona fide episode of their entertaining and inspirational pod cast, Stitching n Junk.
You’re gonna want to listen to all the back episodes too. I always laugh and get inspired by these two, and they pick fascinating people to interview. At least I thought they had good taste… until they asked me.
We talked about art and capitalism and anxiety and magic. Listen in here. (I’m told it’s a two-parter!)
I’m not quite done yet, but the Hi-Fiber kit evolution is well under way. The on-site web store is chock-full of fiber and kits and I’m adding more supplies in the next few days.
The biggest-coolest-bestest news is:
I have so many juicy plans for new projects for the coming months too… I can’t wait to share ‘em with you.
Do let me know how you like the newness, and if there are any ideas you have to help me make things even better.
xoxo,
M
