I seriously can't believe it's been so long since I updated here! Remember that Home Ec. kickoff party I mentioned? Well it went great, and we've spent the last couple of months hosting workshops and classes, doing directory advertising, developing craft kits and generally having a blast with our crafty neighborhood pals. I have been kept so dang busy by the new shop (and by my various other projects) that I haven't even had time to log into Typepad. Bad Jenny!! But here are some quick links and bits of info I have to share...
This Friday night at Home Ec. we're hosting a decoupage plate class taught by SF artist (and one of my faves!) Lisa Congdon. (I'm taking the class myself so I can make one of these babies for my newly-repainted kitchen!) This is a fantastic Mother's Day gift project too, so if you're in or near LA on Friday I totally recommend this class. You can read all the details on the brand new Home Ec. website (which I am insanely happy with and proud of...go peek!). I've also been spending a lot of time on the Home Ec. blog since the site launched. We're posting projects, crafter interviews, and links of interest. RSS us, baby!
In other news, I've joined the Apartment Therapy LA team and am now contributing craft projects there every two weeks! You can view an archive of the projects in my Flickr set, which will link you to each tutorial. Pictured above is the kitchen cupboard message center I created in our apartment. I'm so happy with how it turned out and use it constantly!
I've also been posting a new how-to project every single week at CRAFT. They've just renamed my column and even given me a hilarious little author drawing! Check out the projects here.
Also (and I'm sure this is way too short notice for it to matter, considering it starts in 3 hours, but...) I will be a guest on the Whole Living show with Terri Trespicio on Martha Stewart Living radio, Sirius 112 on Thursday, May 7. It airs at 10am EST, 7am PST. I think I may lay down for a cat nap now, just so I'm not speaking complete gibberish come 7am...!
Signing off for now, with hopes of checking in again soon! Many thanks to anyone still reading...
