Crafter Cast Show #8

April 30, 2008

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

This week I have an interview with Marie Ynami of the Craft and Hobby site. Marie finished a time capsule scrapbook and I love the concept. A time capsule scrapbook simply is a way to look back on a period of time without having to bury anything in the ground. Marie’s book focused on the millenimum and I plan on my first book to be all the places we have lived and a few things about each place. I’ve been picking out and printing pictures to get ready but know I won’t be able to start until after we get settled.

Don’t forget the Mommy Fest High 5 picture contest - I will be posting my pictures of my five items, did you take yours yet?

Please call the listener line at (214) 615-6505 ext 7194 if you have a comment, question or show suggestion.

Crafter Cast Show #7

April 23, 2008

Welcome to show number seven - Making Your Own Beauty Products

In this weeks show I talk about making your own beauty products. You will most likely have all the ingredients you need already in your kitchen cupboards, maybe you need to run out and buy essential oil like I do. You will end up with a product that you know exactly what went into making it and your kids can probably help with the mixing and making.

Here is Carrie Lauth’s free beauty guide - and the angry chicken bath bombs. Download Carrie’s guide today and let me know what you are making.

As for an update on my tshirt quilt - pictures are coming soon! I am entering the 5th Annual Mommy Fest contest for chocolate and the tshirts will be a part of the picture.

Please call the listener line at (214) 615-6505 ext 7194 if you have a comment, question or show suggestion.

Crafter Cast Show #6

April 16, 2008

In this weeks show I talk about UFOs - or UnFnished Objects. I have the materials to make a rag quilt and I’ve had them for over three years - does the quilt qualify as an unfinished object? Or not since it hasn’t actually been started yet, I just mean to start it. I think most of us would say it is not a UFO as if just supplies counted, a lot of us crafters would be in trouble because of the size of our stashes.

I am also starting a tshirt quilt using old concert tshirts and one or two from college. I think this is going to be a great project and I can’t wait to get started. Updates and pictures next week.

And Twitter! Are you tweeting? Twitter is a great site to mingle with friends and meet new ones - if you are not already signed up, do so today. And if you are - add me as a friend! I am tweeting from my Tsoniki account - rather than the CrafterCast account I also have.

Please call the listener line at (214) 615-6505 ext 7194 if you have any tips, comments or show ideas.

Crafter Cast Show #5

April 9, 2008

Welcome back Crafters!

This week we are talking about crafting while traveling, or moving. I have been on the move since December and did bring craft supplies but doesn’t have a craft space to use anymore. It can be difficult to craft and travel but if you bring certain supplies you will still enjoy doing what you love while not in your own home or space.

We also talk about kids crafts while traveling - my daughter has been making yarn bracelets using the wonder knitter.

I am guest blogging over at the Mommy Hobby site, head on over there to find articles on many different craft related subjects.

If you have any tips or tricks for us regarding traveling and crafting leave a comment or call the listener line at (214) 615-6505 ext 7194.
