I wish so much that I could be in LA this weekend to go to the Handmade Nation screening and fundraiser party — if you are in Southern California, don’t miss it!

The evening sounds amazing: the first 50 auction guests will get fantastic crafty swag bags as they arrive. At 7:00, filmmaker Faythe Levine will screen a new 20-minute clip from the film, and at 7:30 the artwork bidding will begin. Get a sneak peek at the art up for grabs here (I have a few favorites picked already!) and find out more about the film here. There’s also an excellent LA Times article on the project to check out if you’re interested. Congratulations, Faythe!
