We will bring to Seattle, Washington an annual juried show of over 50 vendors whose work is handmade and reflects the current DIY revolution.

Sometimes you just need to visualize it to get a better idea. Especially when it comes to mixing and matching color. Before you start your next scarf or sweater project, check out the Random Stripe Generator. It’s a great online tool created by a fellow crafter to help you see it, before you make it. And if you don’t like the patterns that are produced, just hit refresh, and you’ll get more options! Link.

The “iTunes Speaker Thingy”

The “iTunes Speaker Thingy”

ItunesspeakerthingDale writes “This is an enclosure which holds and powers an Airport Express and a set of attached speakers to wirelessly stream music from iTunes. It also incorporates a Palm T|X which acts as an LCD wirelessly remote for iTunes using the Salling Clicker remote control software. The setup provides a nice set of compact wireless speakers for any spot with AC power that’s in Wi-Fi range of your home network.” Link.
