whipup wrapup
Hey Everyone – Happy February.
The year really has started now – I feel I am getting in the swing of it and am finally out of holiday mode – although in Australia we are in the midst of a heat wave so have not much energy to get really cracking on crafty projects.
With our series on how to get your craft studio / nook organised – I imagine you are all really energised right now to get cracking on some crafting – no excuses. If you missed our series on getting organised you can find it here – pt1. de-clutter : pt2. rearrange : pt3. redecorate : pt4. storage devices : pt5. work bench : pt6. small spaces.
With Valentines day coming up – its a great excuse to make something – consider not buying anything this Valentines day – instead turn your love into something crafty – handmade paper heart doilies : crochet love birds : we also have valentines ideas for kids to make.
This past week we had a couple of guest contributions – Laura sent in an essay on book clubs for boys – in keeping with our boys creativity month, and we were the first stop on Maria Peagler’s blog book tour. If you would like to submit an article please read our submission guidelines.
If you are interested in Obama crafts check out the quilting for Obama shows here and here. And if you know of any other crafty art exhibitions please give me a hoy at whipup[at]gmail.com.
Lots of tutorials and how-to’s too this past week – photography hacks : leaf bag : kids chefs outfit : button tree bag : carton coin purse : tea wallet.
If you are into fashion – making your own original designs – or buying others couture creations – check out our series on fashion designers at etsy – more to come next week but to start with – glam fashion with necktie madness, and eco hemp fashion.
Happy crafting everyone – until next week.
