Knit one, purl two, knit one, purl two... The Crafty Hedgehog


Emily is a part time college student (history) and full time crafter who was recently laid off from one of the best jobs ever (at a stained glass studio) -- it seems like art is always the first thing to go in a bad economy.




So she is trying to make a go of her own crafting business. She is obsessed with knitting, and she has recently begun to fall in love with lino cut printing, weaving and sewing. Emily loves crafting of all stripes, and she is most happy when her hands are busy. She puts a lot of energy and care into each and every object that she creates.

Personally I find her frog and rat disections most intreaguing.

All her patterns are copyrighted. They, and the creatures made from them are for personal use only.

You can follow the Crafty Hedgehog on Twitter (estonia76) and become a fan of Emily on Facebook. She maintains various blogs that she sporadically updates and which can be accessed from here: http://www.emilystoneking.com/

isewcute - Fun Colorful Kawaii Valentine Resin Jewelry and More





She has been making stuff ever since she could get her hands on things to make stuff with... whether it was making small stuffed animals from her mother's fabric scraps or carving creatures from bars of soap. isewcute grew up in a log cabin in the Maine woods where she learned early on to entertain herself and to use what was available at the time and it helped nurture her to be the inventive and flexible artist that she is today.

She is a mom of two little ones who have their own blooming creativeness and when she is not working as a freelance toydesigner... she is making stuff for family, friends, and her wicked cool etsy shop! You can find her cruising www.craftster.org... a lot! It rocks! She is a friend of craftster and would love to see you there!

She was featured in the Faster Kittykill! Blog! Blog! back in November 2009 where she describes herself as the quiet dreamer who already got in trouble back in grade school for doodling cats and mermaids in the margin of the paper rather than taking the math test.

The things isewcute creates are very personal. She makes what she likes and hopes you love it too!

Keep checking back often to see new one of a kind resin glitter heart and candy necklaces as well as some hand embroidery patterns. You never can tell what she will come up with next!
