Woo have we been??

This weekend witnessed the resurrection of Craftiwoo, though we had suffered a great casualty. Alas, Scraps has left us. She has moved her Woo-ness to Mobile, Alabama to be with her nieces and neph-woos (see previous post.) We expect to see her posts in the future when she's finally settled in and gets back to being crafty.

However, Square Deal and I have decided to attempt to Woo on!!! On Sunday we regrouped and planned for the future, and we did so by visiting a fantastic local shop that features entirely hand-made art, jewelry, clothing and home accessories. Check out Handmade Galleries here at their web site, or go for a visit at their lovely, and surprisingly large shop in Sherman Oaks. It's pretty inspiring.

In other news, crafting goes on. I'm working on a rag doll I was comissioned for. Check it out on my other blog, here. And I'm starting a Christmas stocking for my two-and-a-half year old niece. Observe...


The pattern...



...the dummy, made with extra fabric that is not so X-massy...



... and the fabric I picked to eventually become the lining.



NEXT WEEK: Fabric shopping!! Square Deal is making a new purse!

Well, I am very pleased with Square Deal and Mother Earth for carrying on with the Woo and not wallowing in their Woe now that I'm gone! Alabama is treating me well: made a new friend, re-connecting with the old, and lovin' every minute of my crazy family.

Mother Earth has suggested that I start a blog of my adventures in the Southland....hmmm...

The only thing I have crafted recently is a new resume and some business cards--LAME. But I'll be back sometime Woon.

Love,
Scraps
