you probably think this project’s about you! Oh wait, it could be. Check out my latest Eco-Craft column in the current issue of KIWI Magazine–an easy to make, refurbished frame embellished with those small toys that seem to be everywhere in a house of kids. This is a great Mothers or Fathers Day project because not only is it cute as a button (or game piece, as it were) but also, because it encourages the kiddos to clean their rooms in search of supplies. That my friends, is what they call a win-win situation.
Get the mag on stands now and as always, also log-on to the Kiwi website for loads of eco-conscious, crafty ideas!
xo,
Vic
P.S. Don’t have bags full of toy parts and baubles laying around the house? No problem! Naughty Secretary Club has loads of them (of the vintage variety, no less) all color coordinated and ready-to-go for you. Check out their Crafty Curios section for more info!
P.P.S. Those handsome little devils posing sarcastically like angels (hey, they come by it honestly, what can I say?) are my sons Tanner & Tristan. 🙂
i loved your frame project! when we replaced our computer keyboard recently i took the keys off the old one to use when we make the frames. and thanks for the heads up for crafty curios – i hope she has some old school gumball machine type of bits and pieces!

so…i just read your post about getting your copies of knit aid to sign and mail out.
what if i’ve meant to, and not yet ordered my signed copy? not because i don’t want it of course. with the constraints of being a SAHM, wife of a cop, part time student–i just keep forgetting to do the important things (like this!)

It's almost July and that means it's time to debut YarnYAY!’s Fall/Winter Designer in Residence - the amazing, vibrant, and talented, Toni Lipsey aka @tlyarncrafts ! We're big fans of her work in both the crochet and Tunisian crochet realms and couldn't be more thrilled to have her on the design team for the season.
✨This means that, as of our July box (on sale now) YarnYAY! subscribers will receive one of her patterns, designed especially for us! 🧶
Welcome Toni, we’re thrilled to have you as part of the team! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Dear community,
The majority share of the knitting, crochet, and crafts industries, and the community that supports them, are women and non-binary folk with uteruses. After yesterday's devastating supreme court decision, essentially removing women's constitutional rights over our own bodies, need to support one another. We need to love each other enough to not give up. I see you. My heart is with you.
Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to be on a Zoom action-meeting run by a major women's healthcare organization. We feel powerless, but one of the suggestions they gave for things we can do is to donate to grass-root organizations that focus on women's healthcare clinics.

Monica- Awww, thanks!
Jaime- I have a couple more left from a small box that came the other day. If you order today, you should be able to snag one!
Love the word play on Carly’s song! 😉
