What are you doing on Sunday, March 9th? If you’re in any of the cities listed above — including Portland — then I hope you’re coming to the CRAFT 06 Release Party! Diane wrote the party up yesterday, so I’ll just borrow her tantalizing preview…

Diane and I are co-hosting the Portland bash at Twisted, from 1-4pm. Moxie will be on hand, too, demonstrating how she makes these adorable monsters, the cover models for CRAFT 06. We’ll also have a hands-on craft table, where you can learn to make Pantyhose Flowers from the magazine.

We’ll have snacks on hand, and Twisted carries a delicious assortment of teas and juices. And if you haven’t visited Twisted, you’ll love it — they carry embroidery supplies, vintage buttons, tons of new and vintage craft books, felting materials — and Shannon and Emily, who co-own the store, are the nicest women ever.

So please come by, have some afternoon tea, and CRAFT with us! And please spread the word to other crafty types while you’re at it…

Don’t forget that the March Crafty Wonderland sale is the same day, from 11-4, so you can hit both for a super fun afternoon out!
