Website of the Day: CraftStylish
Even if you're not crafty enough to design and print your own fabric, I bet you can appreciate the fact that others can — especially if you chill on geeksugar because I love crafty geek stuff!
CraftStylish is a new site where not only can you check out the creative handmade goods from other crafters, but you are also encouraged to share yours.
It's a fun, low-pressure place to say "look what I did!"
National Craft Month
Starting this March, the Craft & Hobby Association is challenging individuals, families and craft retailers to take the ‘Craft Night Pledge’ of crafting one night a week. By participating in just one craft per week, people can enjoy the financial, social, emotional and intrinsic benefits of crafting - including sense of accomplishment, memory keeping, relaxation, and spending time with friends and family.
For those of us who love to craft, vow to try a new crafting technique during National Craft Month; or perhaps you can teach someone how to make your favorite craft.

I'm just getting back into crafting after somewhat of a hiatus and I was looking through my collection of craft books with project ideas. I have a few favorite, but one that really stands out to me is $100 Crafts for Under $10 by Better Homes and Gardens. http://www.amazon.com/Crafts-Under-Better-Homes-Gardens/dp/0696216205/ref=sr_1_22/103-6202837-2987064?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1180633541&sr=1-22 I love it because it's got some cute little ideas, nothing too fancy, and because all of the projects listed in the book are $10 and most of them contain materials that I already have in my crafting supply collection.Jo-Ann Fabric & Craft Stores Recall SmartSpace Papasan Chairs Due to Fall Hazard

If you're into geeky crafts and Do It Yourself projects you're probably already a fan of Craft Magazine, which is known for offering plans for making all kinds of geeky things like a cool chopper out of an old bicycle and a pedal powered iPod charger. The problem is, the magazine only comes quarterly, so I can get a little antsy for geeky, crafty things.
Enter Craft Blog, a constantly updated guide to the "most up to date happenings in the crafts world."

Autumn Crafts & Gifts
I'm starting to get into the spirit of giving. I love this time of year when the leaves start to change color and the weather turns crisp and chill. So I'm ready and willing to do anything to help make it seem more "fall" like around me, rather than the outskirts of summer.
