A daily dose of vicarious crafting
Every once in a while the stars align just right and two of my passions will merge into one, yielding a result that’s greater than the sum of it’s parts. Case-in-point: the following video from one of my favorite bands, Architecture in Helsinki, which combines needlework and catchy indie pop. The video spins the tale of 2 coconuts set adrift by a hurricane on a journey though a jungle, a desert, ping-pong match, a golf game, a hot air balloon race and not to mention a super cute cameo by the band. All this is done completely in animated embroidery. Brilliant!

I started this blog after I realized that I spend way more time looking at crafty things than making crafty things, a practice I’ve dubbed crafterbation. I wanted create an outlet to share all the great crafty things I find that I would love to make, if only I had the time and the motivation to actually complete them. When the mood strikes and I do actually make something, you can read about that here as well.
