This weekend we have a Sponsor Giveaway from Maura Madden, author of the new book Crafternoon: A Guide to Getting Artsy and Crafty With Your Friends All Year Long. I love this book - there's something really wonderful about crafting with friends, and the book is a great guide to doing so yourself. The projects we come up with collectively and individually are always such a fun surprise. Reading this book has me eager for a crafternoon of my own!
Book Description:
"Named after a monthly event that comedian and crafting superstar
Maura Madden began hosting in 2002 as a way to get her friends
together, meet new people, and have a good time making some cool stuff,
Crafternoon is both an entertaining how-to guide and an irreverent social manifesto. Organized by month and theme, Crafternoon
explains how to create and host a fun-filled casual gathering
(including recipes for snacks and decorating tips) that celebrates the
art of crafting. Knot nautical-themed crafts to wear, quilt new
additions to your home decor, make the perfect gift for any holiday, or
feel free to BYOP (bring your own project). All crafters are always
welcome and encouraged to bring guests, and if your knitting or
clay-shaping skills are a bit rusty, that's fine, too -- there are
instructions aplenty!A must-have for anyone who wants to get
their craft on, this quirky guide offers a twelve-month blueprint for a
year of connecting with friends old and new, and enjoying a possibly
messy, but always fulfilling afternoon"
