The Craft Gossip Fork and Talk returns to Little Rock

Last year we hosted our first ever Craft Gossip crafty bloggers’ meet-up in Little Rock. Our Fork and Talk event was so much fun that we’re doing it again!! Our second Fork and Talk event will be April 21, 2012, from noon to 2:30ish.

The awesome folks at EK Success will be sponsoring the event again. Thank you, EK!!! And like before, we’ll meet up at Trio’s for lunch and crafty talk. The lunch and the swag bags crammed full of crafty goodies are provided by EK Success. I’ll be there, along with several other Craft Gossip editors – Denise from Needlework, Scarlett from Quilting, and Stacie from Jewelry Making. All you have to do is show up and enjoy an afternoon with new crafty friends!

We have a limited number of seats available for this event. If you live in the Little Rock, AR area or are able to travel there, go to this announcement and fill out the application form.

To be considered, you must have an active blog. You must write about the event after you have been to the event on your blog within 7 days. In the blog post, tell the world the whole experience, what you thought of the kits from EK Success brands (the ones that you will get to play with on the night itself and the swag bag that you will take home), meeting other local bloggers and the editors from CraftGossip. We are not looking for a big write up – just a brief summary of the whole night.

We’ll select the attendees at random, and will make notifications by April 1 so you can make your travel plans.

Next Pattern:

Christmas is one of those holidays that you just can decorate too much for. There’s no limit to the amount of holiday cheer you can bring into you home! There’s no such thing as too many Christmas decorations. You can bring Christmas décor into any room of the house – including the kitchen! Which is kind of fitting given how many Christmas activities and gifts are made in the kitchen. We’ve rounded up 13 Christmas kitchen accessories you can sew for your home or to give as gifts.

The list includes holiday themed hot pads, potholders ,aprons, and more that you can sew and decorate your kitchen all season long. Most are things you can make in an evening or less. These would also make wonderful hostess gifts for any holiday parties or gatherings you’re attending. Read on for the kitchen sewing ideas!
