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.
It was so fun meeting some YarnYAYers IRL. Thanks to all who were able to come out to the YarnYAY! studio Open House, and to all who continue to support my small business! 💓...

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. 😉
