Handmade Detroit

Clear your schedule for the rest of the night! The new Craft magazine from Make is up online and taking subscribers for the print edition. The online edition has a blog, a few articles, community section and event listings. Not too shabby, if you ask me.

Handmade Detroit headed out to the Garden Bowl at the Magic Stick for a night of fun bowling to celebrate the first-ever Detroit Urban Craft Fair. Balls were rolled, crowns were worn and shoes got smelly.

We’ve got LOTS more photos from the night over on Flickr. Check ‘em out!

Now THIS is my kind of belt buckle! Where was this handmade lovely when I went to go see NKOTB in 1989 at Joe Louis?! Oh, man. Did I really just type that?! Too late.

As always, check out Pippi’s other photos on Flickr.

I have some new favorite notecards. And I don’t think I could ever send one to my gramps.

If you loved Julie Jackson’s Subversive Stitching as samplers, you’ll love them even more as inappropriate notecards.
