Googly Eyes Gardener on SNL
Just a bit of crafty fun spotted on the TV airwaves. I love this skit that aired on Saturday Night Live this weekend called "Indoor Gardening Tips from a Man Who's Very Scared of Plants" starring a deadpan Christopher Walken. He puts googly eyes on all his plants from cactuses to ferns so they aren't so "scary". Thanks Bonnie!

Chloe Dao's Design Studio Tour - CRAFT Video Podcast
MP4 Video | QT Video | HD | Subscribe in iTunes
I always like looking behind the scenes to find out how a designer, crafter, or artist works. With this CRAFT Video Podcast, we go behind the scenes with Project Runway Season 2 Winner and fashion designer, Chloe Dao. Chloe's boutique and brand Lot 8 in Houston is quite the shopping destination. She designs most of the clothing in her boutique and works hands on throughout the production process from cutting all the fabric and more. We got a chance to be the first to see Chloe's new design studio where she shows us the designs and clothing for her new upcoming wholesale line. Can you believe she used to work in her mom's kitchen and dining room? She was gracious enough to be filmed in her sweats and no makeup, since she and her employees had just completed the Houston AIDS walk that morning. Look for a feature on fashion designer Chloe Dao in a future issue of CRAFT magazine!
With me on the video shoot is Diana Eng fashion designer and Project Runway Season 2 contestant, who you may hear giggle in the background. You can see more photos of our visit in my Flickr set.
Chloe's tip on pressing is an important one. Here's a Threads video that shows you the best pressing techniques to make your garments look more finished and professional.
This was dress featured in Chloe's runway show for Project Runway (Fall 2006) and is prominently placed in her boutique. Another version of the dress is also displayed in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C.

Create Your Own Embroidery Pattern from a Photo - CRAFT Video Podcast
MP4 Video | QT Video | HD | Subscribe in iTunes
Crafter Dolin O'Shea of Lulu Bliss shows us how to create an embroidery pattern from a photo, in this case a photo of her cute dog Mikey. Dolin's 101 on Embroidery article is in the current issue of CRAFT:06.
Dolin and I have been friends for over 10 years now and she's one of the craftiest people I know personally. Over the years she's taught me so much about embroidery and also introduced me to the Sublime Stitching patterns by Jenny Hart back in 2000.
To get some carbon transfer paper when working with dark fabric as mentioned in the video, visit the Sublime Stitching store.
From the pages of CRAFT: 06:
CRAFT: 06 - "101: Embroidery, Learn to paint pictures with floss and fabric", pgs 132-137. You can preview the article in our Digital Edition.
