Today marks the last stop of my blog book tour with a Q&A with Vickie Howell. She asked me some questions about how working on Adorn mag influenced the Crochet Adorned the book, tips for working with jersey, and more. Check it out and enter to win a free copy!!

And, for something totally different, I wanted to mention a crafty cause. I stumbled upon Iraqi Bundles of Love somewhere in my feed reader, and immediately packed up and shipped a box. The idea is to send a surge of sewing and crafty (yarny) materials to Iraq via self contained bundles, that will then be distributed to locals and local sewing coops who need the materials. If you want to participate- hurry- you have to send your package by September 7th. Just leave a comment anywhere on the site and he will email you back with the mailing address. I see it as a win win: I get rid of some craft supply excess, someone else is excited to receive it. Hooray. Here’s my not so pretty bundle:

I jammed as much fabric, yarn, buttons and beads as I could in there. The box was a flat rate box that ships for $13.95, check out the project and fill yours today!

And now, I’m going to go bury myself in work and take a breather from the blog. I’ll be back soon with some fun things to show you.
