Fall projects
September 8, 2009
Kathie and I are still trying to get into our fall groove although admittedly, with the weather hovering in the low 90s, it’s not super easy to make that shift. But we’re back in school, well the kids are anyway, and we’ve volunteered to run the green committee which started off with the clothes swap and we’ve each got a couple of kids in a couple of classrooms that need our help and once the dust settles from that we’ll be ready to get moving on some Future Craft action. In the meantime, I really do think volunteering in schools could be a full-time gig for someone. A paid gig that is.
In addition to working, I mean, um, volunteering at school, we’ve got a few good projects up our sleeves and we’re just now starting to once again don our Future Craft hats, and a few other hats we wear, and gear up for some fall fun.
Starting September 25th look for us on Craftzine with our new monthly “Reduce, Reuse, Refashion” projects. Each month we’ll be taking some item and refashioning it into something else. I’ll give you a hint for our September project. It has to do with football jerseys.
Kathie just finished up a weekend of Handmade Nation fun including a book signing and a showing of the film, featuring filmmaker Faythe Levine.
This Thursday, September 10th, I’ll be hosting the first Collective Craft Night from 7:30-10:00 pm. If you’re a lady looking for some crafting action, come on out and join us as I set the stage for a night of collage and card making.
We’ve also got a little writing project we’re working on, but that news will have to wait until we’re given the go ahead for a full blown release. We’re excited though!
If you’re in the market for an uber unique and amazing custom made personalized western shirt, you can always check out Kathie’s Ramonsterwear site. Her latest creations have been nothing short of jaw droppingly beautiful!
And finally, my other endeavor, Slow Family Living, has a few classes, workshops and fill-ups lined up for September and October. If you’ve a hankering to slow things down a bit on the home front and spend some intentional time connecting with your family, go check it out.
In the meantime, we’d love to hear what projects you’ve got lined up for fall…

thanks for the comment on the prayer flags idea, it is great for groups too – I also used the idea for a craft workshop on a camp I was on in the summer, we had about 20-30 teens in the workshop and made long strings of flags across our marquee – it looked brilliant all week. so thanks so much – your blog is an inspiration!!!

Thanks so much for your comments about our blog Hannah. If you have any photos of your flags from camp, we’d LOVE to put them up on our site.
