Make a comics magnet this Saturday!

Hello Portland! If you’re free this Saturday afternoon (August 20 from 2-4), please stop by the Pendleton Woolen Mill Store for a craft party + book signing to celebrate World of Geekcraft (and my other new book, Modern Log Cabin Quilting). There will be free craft kits to make your own POW! ZAP! comics magnet from WOGC (plus wool log cabin quilt block kits), and we’ll have snacks and cupcakes, a tote bag full of crafty prizes to win, and a few other surprises…

Do you have Post-Potter Depression?

I know not everyone is a Harry Potter fan, but boy, I am. I loved HP 7.2, and have the $17.25 (!) IMAX 3D ticket receipt to show for it! I’ve read and re-read all the books over the last ten years and yes, even knitted a teeny-tiny Gryffindor scarf (the one in the picture). To celebrate/commemorate the end of the movie series, Chronicle Books is giving away a copy of my book, World of Geekcraft! They posted some pretty cute ideas for fans who are trying to cope with a post-Harry world. If you comment there adding your own suggestions by 8/11, you can win a copy of the book, and craft your own HP baby or toddler costume to introduce the next generation to the series…

POW! ZAP! magnets workshop at Maker Faire

Hey, if you’re coming to Maker Faire, please stop by the CRAFT: magazine area at 2:00 on Saturday to make a POW! ZAP! Magnet from World of Geekcraft to take home! I’m bringing free magnet kits for everyone, and if you mention that you’re a geekcrafts.com reader, I’ll have a little extra surprise for you too…

I can’t wait for the marvelous Maker Faire weekend! Please comment if you’re presenting or will be there too, I’d love to say hi!

Two Announcements

Greetings Geek Crafters:

We’ve got two things going on here at Geek Crafts headquarters:

1. The first winner we picked to get a copy of Susan Beal’s World of Geekcraft never contacted us with their address, so we had to pick another winner. That winner is…

Craftasaurusrex!

Craftasaurusrex, please email your name and mailing address to geekcrafts@gmail.com by midnight ET on Thursday, May 19th and we’ll put your copy of World of Geekcraft in the mail right away.

2. What do you do when your graphic / web designer and her kids catch the bubonic plague? Why, you postpone your super awesome contest one more week. Enjoy our regularly scheduled programming and on Monday the 23rd, we’ll unveil our new logo and the super awesome contest. Trust me, it’ll be worth the wait!

    Have fun talking around the water cooler about the awesome Neil Gaiman-directed Doctor Who episode in the morning!
    Shayne

    And, the Winner is…
