Happy Thanksgiving From Crafty Manolo!

Thursday, November 22nd, 2012

May you gobble up as much delicious stuffing, cranberries, pumpkin pie, etc. as you please today. Oh, and if you like the rather festive needlepoint canvas shown above, head on over to Past Times Needlepoint and purchase it along with custom chosen embroidery threads.

Or, you know, find one that appeals more to you personally.

But I gotta say, I’m loving that turkey.

Happy Left-Hander’s Day!

Yes, it’s a real day. August 13. And this month friday the thirteenth lands on a monday, which makes it more dangerous. Bonus points to anyone who knows where that concept comes from.

Anyway.

As a southpaw, sometimes it’s hard to find equipment set up for me, let alone instructions to use it properly.

So in honor of the day, I have found a selection of tools and instructions to help my fellow right-minders be super crafty.

And always remember that the flag we celebrate today was sewn by a crafty woman.

Thanks, Betsy!


Happy Memorial Day from Crafty Manolo

Today is a good day to thank a service person in your life… and to think about sending some yarn to someone in a war zone.

Meanwhile, I’ll be wishing everyone in harm’s way a safe and speedy return.

Teach your children well. Or, if you’re like me and don’t have any of your own, teach someone else’s children. Share the joy of crafting with the next generation.

May your day be filled with chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate… and maybe something as pretty as these eggshell vases. But if nobody gives them to you, you can learn to make them yourself at Delish.com.

Quickie Question: Get Any Crafty Loot?

Here it is, the day after Christmas (known, also, as Boxing Day), and I’m dying to know what you all got from Santa or his equivalent gift giver this time!

Okay, as I’m writing this, it isn’t Christmas yet, so I don’t know if I got something crafty or not… though I’m betting I will from someone. Tell me about yours, and I’ll tell you about mine when I can.

So… what did you get?
