Felt Club Holiday 2008 - this weekend! November 11, 2008

Filed under: Crafty, Etsy Shopping — karrie @ 1:04 pm

Well, I am hitting the road. A minivan filled with my friends, my moustaches and my fiber will be headed down to So-Cal for the Felt Club Holiday 2008 Event on Sunday Nov 16th. I am still wondering how I will fill a 10′ x 10′ space without Abby’s bags and wallets. Also I wish I had a classier way than a wooden drying rack to display my roving… I doubt I will pull anything together in the next few days..

I didn’t remember seeing any fiber or much yarn when I was a shopper at last year’s event, so I teamed up with a couple of other felt club fiber vendors to try and encourage lovers of the fiber arts to stop by the event.

Felt Club Coupon

Traveling Rhinos, Beemiceelf, and myself will give you 10% off a $25 or more purchase at each of our booths. Hopefully this will help to offset the $5 entry fee…

And of course all of my moustache and woven items qualify for a discount too. If you see anything you might want me to bring, let me know!

Hope to see you there!

 
 

Happy Election Day Celebration Sale November 4, 2008

Filed under: non-knitting related — karrie @ 4:46 pm

I am a permanent ballot-by-mail voter in California. I was able to lounge around my apartment and vote at my leisure…. But I paid a price - no sticker. Apparently many other mail-in voters drop their ballots off at their polling place on election day, and get a sticker. I didn’t think of that…. I took matters into my own hands and with help of Whirlwend who posted a graphic, I made my own! In badge form, nonetheless.



Several twitter crafters report using whirlweds graphic, label paper and packing tape to make shiny replicas for themselves.

In my area, I spied at least two different types of stickers:





Amanda directed me to a picture of Ohio’s sticker:



What does your sticker look like? Snap a picture and send us a link!

I hope you were able to get out and vote today. To celebrate Election Day, I am offering free US shipping in my etsy shop. Just leave a note that says “I Voted” and I will refund your shipping.
