La Femmes Fantastico
Well, it is a proven fact that indeed, the Violent Femmes are babysitter worthy. I ended up going to see their reunion show at Stubbs and my God, they rocked! I'm so glad I went! Special thanks to Paullee who hung out with the kiddos and told countless stories of hotwheel cars and their escapades. :-)Nothing all that exciting going on here. I just got back from a super quick trip to L.A. to meet with a prospective agent. If all goes well, I will no longer be wrangling my own career.
Today I finished up a felted TV remote caddy and pair of slippers for the fall issue of Knit.1. I can't decide how I feel about how they turned out but I find that that's how I usually am about all of my own projects, so I guess I'll just let it go.
DIY sent me their revised programming schedule that shows that they're airing Knitty Gritty 21 times (twice a day on week days and once on Sundays) a week. Of course, most of them are re-runs (new eps begin in July) but maybe one day I'll be able to convince them that new episodes everyday would R-O-C-K. We'll see.
Speaking of DIY, don't forget to to tune into tomorrow's episode of Stylelicious! I'll be co-hosting this one with the fabulous and talented Susanne Koehane and Tina Sparkles. The topic is "High School Revisited"--projects are: cheerleading-type skirt, ghetto prom dress top and spray painted shoes and a cootie-catcher corsage. My project is the latter but before you start posting about its randomness on the DIY boards keep in mind two things: 1.) my original tuxedo pants project with school portrait headshots down the seams where ribbon would normally be, was cut at the last minute because we couldn't get photo clearance from the photographer for pictures of my friends taken in 1992 and 2.) I was feeling really nostalgic and wanted to make something that would make for a great conversation piece at a reunion. Okgoodthanksbye.
So, as we're less than a month away from the release of Not Another Teen Knitting Book, I'm starting to look for e-places to do another blog tour. If any of you (especially if you're a teenager) have favorite blogs that you think I should approach about the possibility of being a part of said tour, I'd really appreciate it if you'd point 'em out to me. Thanks!!
That's it for me tonight. Have a good one!
xo,
Vickie

How about I have my neighbor girls ask you the questions and I'll post it on my blog? I taught them how to knit.
I also have a lot of people who read my blog with teenagers. I'd love to do it again! I promise not to let them ask too many this time. ;)

I had to laugh at your picture, and post, my friends and I just got together and hung out Sunday night, all of us now being 30, what did we do revisited old times, and made the thing your holding which I can't remember for the life of me the name (is that the cootie-catcher? if so, we called it soemthing different in Iowa, hmmm)
Anyway, love your blog as I don't have the DIY network and can't see your show.
Vickie - I can't help much with the blog tour (my blog skews much, much older than teenagers). I do have one teenage (boy!) friend who blogs - he's the "Hopeless Nerd" link from my blog.
If you can do a real tour, remember that you have a free place to stay in Seattle and I know ALL the yarn stores.
um ya that would be Hope on that episode not tina. lets give my sister credit where credit is due. tina would have sewn a prom dress, only hope cuts it off and makes it awesome. p.s. pretty girls make graves dedicated a song to the craft mafia tonight and your lame butt skipped out.
Violent Femmes...reunion show?
SIGH.....flashback to 1984...they were playing at my college. There was a "Draw a Violent Femme" contest to win free concert tickets and an album (a real record, before C.D.)
I won! I drew a cute little girl holding a big butcher knife with a mutilated teddy bear sitting nearby.
I never made the concert...but still have the album.
Baby sister worthy..yes... glad you made the concert!
I'm gone daddy gone.

Yes new episodes of Knitty Gritty would rock! But until they show them, the old ones will just have to do. Heehee
That episode of Stylelicious was a good one.
Congrats on everything you have going.
:)
