Nice Arts, Crafts & Sewing photos
A few nice Arts, Crafts & Sewing images I found:
Crafty cocktails – learning to sew!
Image by CosmoPolitician
Last night, to celebrate Tiff’s bday, we headed to Sew Crafty Houston, a new boutique craft lounge in the Heights. We had a blast learning to embroider and sipping crafty cocktails.
After the lesson, we headed back to Tiff and Jason’s where Jason had friends and family surprise TIffany for her birthday. It was a magical night, with some of my most favorite people!
Happy Bday Tiff!!
Check out all of Sew Crafty’s awesome classes here: www.sewcraftyhouston.com
They are located at 3210 6th/White Oak, just near Onion Creek.
Sara is awesome! I’m looking forward to going back to purchase some skirt and dress patterns.

The Knitted Convenience
Image by urban don
The Knitted Convenience is knitting gone wild for Sydney Design 2009. Organised by the Sydney Powerhouse Museum, the festival has craft and design events across Sydney. One of those was organised by guerrilla knitter grrl+dog. The knitting graffiti took place at Taylor Square, Darlinghurst, at an public toilet. The toilet is unique in the fact it has been closed for thirty years and was the first public toilets in Sydney. This was the men’s toilet that this gang of knitters took on.
I was there to help out, hey, I sleep with the artist so it was a given.
After warm-up coffee all round the activities started. Scaffold, ladders, bags of wool, pins, entertainment, watchers, assistants, supervisors and a couple of homeless people spilled out across Taylor Square.
I managed to capture a few images here. Some were taken by David (seen at the top of structure) and some by grrl+dog.
The Knitted Convenience will stay in place for four weeks. After that the wool will be used for a local homeless charity. How cool is that?
It was great to see this event and be part of it. What was also exciting was to be able to go down into this 1908 toilet block for the first time.
Looks like I will return to take down the piece. I swear I will take more photos of inside! (And of the women’s toilet next door, which is even more fascinating) It may be the last time as council has no intention of doing anything with these buildings.
Worth having a look if you are in Sydney.
