It's been a while since I've been in here...


My blog, it's so darn dusty! Well - I held my first contest on craftyalien.com, and since it was a blogging contest, I'll announce the winner here first. Before I do that, though, I've got a bunch to read! My next contest will be much simpler I hope. Or maybe not - I don't like boring!

Anyway! I've been taking a short break from designing some new patterns. I have about three new collections roaming through my head, along with some new backyard critters. It's pretty strange in there right now, I've got deer, crustaceans, pigs and crickets.

But it's been mostly business!

I started a newsletter mailing list, but I haven't put it on my website yet. If you'd like to sign up, send an email to news [at} craftyalien.com. That way you'll find out about new patterns and kits and crafts without having to pay too much attention! Eventually I'll get it up on the website. I do have many other things to add or fix, but I'm either overwhelmed or underwhelmed. Not sure which.

I've finished up some wholesale information and order forms, so if you know of a store or you own a store and would like to carry some crafty alien kits and patterns, contact me at lisa [at] craftyalien.com. The flyer came out cool. Here's a look:



Now I need some press! and a dustpan...
