We just returned from Los Angeles where we had the opportunity to attend CHA! This is THE place where you will find all of the latest and greatest tools, supplies, and inspiration for all things crafting!
Our local NBC affiliate, Studio5, interviewed us through Skype about a few of our “favorite finds” from the conference. Naming “just a few” is not easy to do when you are surrounded by over 800 vendors who are showcasing! It’s like being a kid in a candystore! 
So this week we are bringing you that interview!
Watch the blog throughout the next couple of weeks because we have even more to share — plus a TON of giveaways!
Here are a few more photos!
Paper and fabric flowers adorned scrapbook pages, wall art, jewelry, accessories…you name it! It’s a definite trend that continues! Gorgeous!
Come back tomorrow as we’ll tell you in more detail about those 3 very cool products we shared with Studio5!
One of them just makes you smile.
One helps teach a new generation of crafters…our kids!
And one goes hand-in-hand with the mixed media trend that is so prevalent. You’re going to love the possibilities it will create in your crafting!
We have more photos to share and a whole lot of GIVEAWAYS!!

And just so we don’t leave you this week without a fun project to download, here’s one for Valentine’s Day!
Click here to download a FREE VALENTINE PATTERN we created for you! Enjoy!
(Although we made this with a needle-felting technique, the same pattern would look darling with an applique method! Have fun!)

Just a question though about the Love Quilt: would it be possible for you to give us the exact name of the fabrics you used? I’m actually particularly interested in the one with red & varied pink dots…
Have a lovely day!
Your show’s always give me great ideas. Though I rarely do the whole projects I use parts for other projects. Keep up the good work.
Can’t wait to see the new kids craft helper for the friendship bracelets. Keep the projects coming.
All I need is more time! I love all your work.
Thanks for sharing the new trends.

Loved watching you skype with Studio 5! You did an awesome job. Loved the great finds from CHA! It is so nice to see products for those of us who want to put together projects fast and without much thought and make it look so professional!! Keep up the great work. I am your BIGGEST fan
Sounds like you had a great time. I am looking forward to seeing more of what you saw and liked. Hopefully the weather let you get home ok.

Hiya, thank you so much for the lovely share. I will hopefully try to make the love pillow to give away in a raffle to raise money for cancer research.
Thank you once again x
Thanks so much for all the ideas and creativity you share with us.

I’ve been waiting to see how that last craft was done. Are you still going to post something on that?
Very cute pattern, but needle felting just hasn’t caught my fancy. I think this could be made up with just felt cut-outs and be just as darling. Thanks for the ideas and patterns.
I would love to see download freebies of all your show crafts.
Thank you so much for this pattern. I have just finished making my little pillow which I love and adore. Your pattern was so easy peasy to follow.
Thank you again for sharing x
I’ve been to several art shows and have found a few people who knit fancy scarves from varied colored wool. Would anyone have a pattern? From what I understand, you cast on five stitches and proceed to knit these the length of the scarf (you can vary the length by ending the scarf at any length).
