Giveaway Day

Welcome to the Craftinomicon! It is time once again for Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day! Above you will see a glimpse at my main prize this year: a quarter pound of fabric scraps (This is about 35 separate scraps of fabric)! These scraps are various shapes (mostly rectangles), sizes and colors, all cotton. Part of the fun will be sorting through them all when you receive them! Not sure what to do with them? I will be featuring projects on The Craftinomicon all week using fabric scraps!

New Addiction

I'm not saying you should do this. But you should totally do this! I don't know how many of you out there are aware of Pinterest.com, but it is amazing. Basically, while you are surfing the web, you can "pin" the things you like, find inspiring, etc. and categorize it for others to gawk at. To me, it is kind of a mix between twitter and craftgawker/foodgawker (you can, in fact even tweet your posts from pinterest, etc.).

I just started, but I'm already a total addict. I love how the more things I pin, the prettier my little "pin boards" get. I also love checking out the things that inspire others. The only annoying thing is you have to request an invitation to join, so I had to wait a few days before I got to start using it.

If you have a pinterest account, I would love to see what inspires you! I can be found Here. Please feel free to follow me and see all of the things that I love!
