Thank you all so much for participating in January’s theme of ‘resolutions’ a major subject among crafters is craft room organisation – and to round up the months craft room and studio features I will be posting a series on how to get organised next week – so watch out for that. In the meantime enjoy the latest studio featured posts. Here : here and here.

Next months theme for submissions is crafting for, with and by blokes – thats boys and men – submission guidelines here – or just send in your tutorial or story links to whipup[at]gmail.com

It seems love it well and truly in the air – with Valentines day just around the corner – we have started to feature love crafts – so if you have any please feel free to email us with your links again its whipup[at]gmail.com. This past week we have had sewn paper valentines, valentine felt pins, knitted heart, valentine vermin, valentine teabag wrappers, paper cut screen prints and no-sew valentine garland.

This week there has been a bit of an Obama crafting frenzy – even us in Aus are feeling the Obama love – so if you are too – check out our guide to crafting for Obama, Obama crochet and Obama quilts.

Lots more at whipup this past week too – so get into some serious crafting with cube craft, finger knitting, felt soaps, fat quarter purse, recycled tights into stockings, zigzag quilt pattern, sewing pattern drafting and free knitting patterns.

Once again thanks to Nicole and happy crafting everyone!
