Because I know a handful of you on the crafting mailing list are also readers of this blog. Pay attention:

On Sunday I will send out the official invitation to the next Craft Night. If you do not want your email and/or name shared with the rest of the guest list you need to answer that mail TODAY. I won't send a separate invitation to you or mail you the details of when and where Craft Night is outside of that invitation.

I'm still investigating how Gmail handles contact information in calendar invites. If your email does not resolve to a name, your email will appear. If your email does resolve to a name, your name will appear. If I have you in my contact address book under a name, THAT name will appear. Heads up: I have had to add names to several people's entries in my address book so I know who the hell they are.

I'd really like to have a Craft Night this week. I'd like to make things and take pictures of things and be able to speak freely about the things that make me happy and cause me a little concern. Mostly those first two, but you get the idea.

Read the email I sent last week. If you get the invite please RSVP. If we have a quorum, it's on. If we don't, it's not.

It was a low-key night where I didn't do any clay work, sketch books came out, and there was some Mardi Gras maskmaking in the house. I wasted a chunk of time wrestling with iTunes (it won't let me add new music for some reason) but ended up making people come to my computer to listen to songs instead. Preview of WCBnext, anyone?

ECCC inspired me to buy some paint pens. I had no idea where to start and don't really own a pencil set anymore. I ended up skipping the pencil and going straight for the paint. Oh, if only the red pen had worked better... it turned out okay anyway.

Some items have been renewed, and a couple of others are new listings. Behind the scenes I am experimenting with some new designs and wondering why I try so hard at jewelry -- I much prefer making little sculptures!

I'm a little late for sharing craft night accomplishments and would probably have skipped it if not for these two items.

The keyboards are for the Devo-inspired clothespins. They turned out to be a bit too large for the dolls themselves, so I will finish up the details and add pin backings to them. My scale miscalculation won't be a total loss.

The little blue/orange guy is a chihuaua-shaped catnip toy, full of "the good stuff." Grady was happy to receive it, and pushed it across the dining room with his face for several minutes.

It is uncertain if craft night will survive the new job, but we'll see.

If Quasimodo wanted to go trick or treating, this would be his costume. Not quite what I pictured in my head... I was the only one to make one, HOWEVER anyone wishing to join me next week will be able to. Theirs will look much, much better. By then I will have made up a tutorial to follow.

Good company & conversation - much thanks to everyone that made it. :-)
