Maker Faire

23/5/2010 - Another wonderful year of the Maker Faire - I found the Lion Brand Yarn demos with a massive intarsia giraffe. We also found amigurimi animals which inspired me to start crocheting! So now I am enjoying crochet as well as knitting.

The kids had a lovely time with the Legojeep making a bunch of lego sculptures & adding it to the many already hanging on the car - lots of fun for all!

A trip to the Maker Faire!

At the end of May there is a great event at San Mateo called the Maker Faire. This place is full of invention & innovation on many levels! This year I really enjoyed the Bizarre Bazaar - a market choc full of local indie designers. Plus the Faire has loads of workshops for craftsters, I tracked down a needle felting workshop which was very inspiring... I have a couple of examples on my walls - pics to come sometime! There is a tired Mack in amongst the pics resting out on the balcony, aaah the life of a cat :) Ashwin also enjoyed wearing the 3D glasses from UP - which he did see but not in 3D. Looking very cool, mmmm?? Maybe if you were in Risky Business!
