Craft News of the Day
Posted by Mindy on January 5th, 2009 at 09:51am
Since I’m still a crafting novice, I often rely on a google news search to help me gather ideas for my blog posts. I often search “crafts” or “crafting” to see if anything useful comes up. I relied on this method this morning because my mind is still a blur of Holiday- and New Years-related projects. To my dismay, so are everyone elses. My search results were a hodgepodge of old Christmas craft articles, the token ‘crafting in a tough economy’ piece and then a bunch of articles about Obama ‘crafting’ a tax cut plan. So I went further and googled more specific crafting terms like sewing, knitting and quilting. While many of the reuslts were typical (sewing groups, kids learning how to sew in school, etc.), some of the stories were completely hilarious, outrageous and/or unexpected. Here are a few of my favorites:
Appleton Woman Arrested After Mom Struck by Sewing Machine (Check the reader comments for mildly amusing sewing puns)
What a great headline: Victim in Triple Slaying Loved Quilting, Sewing
…and introducing the first $9,000* sewing machine!
*Actual price not yet released. Anticipated to be equally, if not more, ridiculous.
