Super Crafty holiday update!
hello!

We've been so busy the last few months that time has just been flying by! But now that December is just around the corner, we wanted to tell you about some cool events we have planned, and let you know what else we've been up to lately in PDX Super Crafty world.

If you're looking for just the thing for your crafty best friend or Secret Santa at work, why not pick up a signed copy of Super Crafty? It makes a great holiday gift... or you can use it to make all of your own presents this year! We were so excited that CRAFT picked us for their Amazon holiday gift guide!

Here's where we'll be all month...

This weekend, Dec. 2 and 3, we'll have a table at Urban Craft Uprising in Seattle (Saturday and Sunday, 11-5, at the Seattle Center), right next to Monsieur T.. Come by and say hi--it should be a great sale.

On December 10, Torie, Cathy, and Rachel will be selling at Torie and Cathy's fabulous monthly sale in Portland, Crafty Wonderland (Sundays, Dec. 10 and 17, 11-4, at Doug Fir Lounge). Go both weeks to try two different free crafts at the DIY Table (shadow puppets and snow globes)... plus you can win amazing handmade raffle prizes, and all the proceeds benefit the Goose Hollow Shelter. While you're out and about, be sure to stop by Handmade Bazaar
(Sundays, Dec. 10 and 17, 12-5, at the Wonder Ballroom)--make a day of it and go to both sales.

And here's some of what we've been up to lately...

Torie has a brand-new website with lots of pretty new jewelry, accessories, and art pieces. She's also been helping her husband Quentin with his Monsieur T. t-shirt line--one-stop shopping for all the boys and girls on your list!

Cathy has been going crazy with her Gocco, and she's made lots of printed skirts, and vintage sweaters that are printed and embellished with stitching. Her designs include birds, skull and crossbones, deer, and a lady bowler--they're so new that she hasn't even had a chance to get them up on her site, but she'll have them at all the upcoming sales. You can also email her if you're interested (bossanovababy2@yahoo.com), or look for them after the holidays online!

Rachel has a huge new fall/holiday jewelry line with tons of vintage pin-up-meets-glamour-gal flair! Check out her site to see it all or find a list of stores in your area. She's been keeping busy designing away and hanging out with her adorable Little E.!

As for me, I've been doing lots of writing lately--I just started a new West Coast Crafty blog that's been a lot of fun! I just contributed a feature, "The New Craft Night," to Adorn, and designed a holiday card for Cutting Edge. I've also recently added a few new fabrics to choose from for my skirt kits. You can find them on my site and at Bingo's Craft Emporium in Los Angeles all next month, or online at Plain Mabel and My My.

So, we hope to see you out and about this month! Looking towards 2007, we'll keep you posted about some cool classes we'll be teaching at DIY Lounge, plus we'll be running a Super Crafty alteration station at Swap-O-Rama-Rama on February 4. And we have three fun, free craft-ons scheduled at the library in Portland in February too! More info on all these early in the new year. Stay crafty!

p.s. I almost forgot--we've been testing out some great crafty kits from Chronicle Books, and we'll be posting our reviews in the next few weeks! Look for the first one, Winter Knits Kit, in the next couple of days.
