AuntyK’s Crochet Guyz

August 23, 2011 by TheCrochetCrowd Leave a Comment

Kathleen's Crochet Guys
Auntyk”s Crochet Guys from Wisconsin USA

AuntyK’s Crochet Guys originates from the brain of Kathleen Ward from Wisconsin. It’s so creative that one may look it and say “OH MY what is that?” to people like me thinking “OH MY… that’s so creative that it’s actually inspiring!” Either way, her crochet guys are stunning and create a reaction.

I’ve known Kathleen for a few months through Facebook. Kathleen is a creative artist with watercolors to crochet projects. She is also a proud grandmother. Her crochet guys have been around for about 4 years at this point.
 
Kathleen mentioned why create stuffed animals for your grand children that all look the same?
 
Why not create a special character that will be a lifetime keep sake? Something so special that it can’t be duplicated. Understanding the concepts of crochet and how it can twist and turn, she set herself on a journey of exploring crochet without patterns. The dolls take shape as she goes. Some dolls takes her up to 70 hours to complete due to the complexity of the yarn transitions.
 
She jokes how some of her designs come to her in dreams at night time. He brain is always processing 24-7. She is truly an artist!
 
Kathleen has stepped up to the Challenge with The Crochet Crowd at Creativ Festival this coming Fall. Two of her very special custom designed characters will be on display. Kathleen sells some of her creations on ETSY as well has sells many others are live crafting shows.
 
If you are ever interested in creating your own Amigurumee Characters, be sure to look up AllFreeCrochet.com to give you free patterns to follow. Once you get it, you two might be able to create your own special characters too!

Duck Brand Is Doing A Halloween Costume Contest
Make Costumes Out of Duck Brand Tape

You’ve never seen costumes like these. Take a look at Duct Brand Halloween Costumes. I really liked the blue with the fish design on the suit. Not sure I could pull that off at prom but it would be the talk of the town!

 

Costume Challenge for CreativFest in Toronto

Join Wendy Russell, HGTV host of She’s Crafty on the Fashion Runway for some Halloween fun. Cheer on 3 pre-selected contestants with only 30 minutes, Westcott Non-Stick Titanium Bonded® scissors, Shurtech Duck Tape®, feathers, gemstones and more to create a fabulous, wacky costume! By applause, the audience will pick a winner for each of the four segments! Each segment winner receives a Westcott & Shurtech Gift Basket valued at $200 and the Grand Prize winner, judged on Sunday wins $1,000.00 …

I witnessed the one on the top with the scissors first hand at CHA in Chicago back in July 2011. The picture is doing no justice for the fabulousity that it has.

Westcott Brand is hosting this fun event so be sure you pay attention to the entry rules for this tape-a-licious event!

Crafting For A Cure Donation Drive

August 4, 2011 by TheCrochetCrowd Leave a Comment

Crafting For A Cure is Looking For Crafting Donations
Crafting For A Cure, who services Hospitals globally, is looking for crafting goodies to give to prenatal units.

Crafting for a Cure , founded by Pamela Beliak, is back with The Crochet Crowd again this spring.

See a video interview with Pamela Beliak. You can see her mission and see her personality thrive at Creativ Festival.
Pamela and The Crochet Crowd are launching their 4th Donation Drive together. Together with The Crochet Crowd crafters, the viewers are asked to donate finished crafting peices of Pre-Natal Units for Crafting For A Cure.
Items they are looking for include:
  • Preemie & Regular Baby Hats
  • Blankets
  • Mittens
  • Sweaters

If you can think of something else to donate to this specific calling, you are most welcome.

Mikey, from The Crochet Crowd, is collecting donations and will be presenting items for display at Creativ Festival on April 27 & 28, 2012. Specific chosen products will be on display at their display at Creativ Festival.

If you would like to have your item auctioned off, they would love your permission to do so. It’s a great way to donate items and have your gift go extra further. One sweater last year was offered $300 but was never auctioned off because permission was not asked from the doner.

Items can be mailed to:

The Crochet Crowd

10 Mullen Drive, PO BOX 473

Walkerton, Ontario, Canada
