Jennifer and I have been working a little with a new magazine called, Make it Mine and wanted to share what’s going on in their latest issue with you! Here’s a sneak peak of some of the great project ideas they’re offering as inspiration to make your style… well, your own! Check it.
My friend and fellow partner in Austin Craft Mafia crime, Hope Perkins, has a 4 page tutorial on re-vamping a thrift store blazer with paint!
Turn your own blueprint design into a one-of-a-kind scarf!
Diamonds as a girl’s best friend is soooooo pre-“Blood Diamond“! It’s all about the shoes, now. 😉 Make it Mine’s 2nd issue celebrates this love of fancy footness, with a ton of examples on prettifying your peds!
In the mood for a little felt on felt action? Well, there’s a feature just for you. LeBrie Rich (watch the interview I did with her last November at Stitch, here) shows us how she turns fiber, into art pieces!
If you haven’t already checked out the magazine, it can be found on most news stands, now.
I also have copies of the latest addition (featuring all aforementioned crafty goodness & more) to give away to 5 people (picked at random), who add Make it Mine as a “friend” on MySpace over the next 3 days! Simply go to their page and click on “Add to Friends”. On Sunday afternoon, we’ll put on a blindfold and point at names on the “Friend Request” approval list. It’ll all be very scientific! 😉 If you win, we’ll contact you via MS for contact info.
YARNYAY! FALL BOX REVEAL:
Every season, YarnYAY! presents a new box for knitters who are ready to dive into a more in-depth project than our regular monthly boxes. For Autumn, we've gone mad for plaid, and are thrilled to have partnered with FOUR other (besides mine) woman-owned, small businesses. (Tap to see.)
We're shipping these box beauties on Tuesday 10/17 and only have a limited amount. Reserve yours today, in whatever palette speaks to you, and we'll get it to you ASAP. Link in @vickiehowell bio, or visit yarnyay.com...
Happy FriYAY! the 13th, Ghouls and Gourds! To celebrate we're giving you 13% OFF YarnYAY's spookiest kits and patterns. USE code: FRIYAYTHE13TH. Spooky sale item collecting link in @vickiehowell bio
FREE Pattern 🚨 Alert: The Ginger Spice Bi-Color Brioche Scarf! We couldn't resist whipping up this beauty out of the YarnYAY! October featured yarn @thefibrecompany &Make Aran (in colors Spill the Tea and Mon Ami). Make it to match either pair of the mitt patterns that come with our October Box, or make it on its own. You do you!
This pattern comes free with the purchase of &Make Aran yarn from our shop. Add the pattern to your cart, and the discount will appear at checkout. Who's feeling spicy? yarnyay.com (link in @vickiehowell bio).
The Forager wrist warmers by @hellogavriella (and featured in the YarnYAY! October Box) might be my favorite crocheted mitt pattern we've ever included in one of our monthly boxes. The wool/alpaca blend of @thefibrecompany &Make Aran yarn is the perfect medium for textured linen stitches. Oh, and the peek-a-boo detailing at the top-edges, is *chef's kiss"!
Treat yourself to the October Box to get this pattern (plus THREE more!), yarn, and a couple more awesomely autumnal items. Link in @vickiehowell bio (or go to yarnyay.com) to learn more.

this is so great!
Cool – just did a friend request on MS!
When will the books being mailed out (I pre-ordered mine)?
I just added too. I hope it’s not too late.
I added the magazine on MS too! I love craftiness and a crafty mag like this is just what I need! Or don’t need. Depending on how you look at it. 😉
