Can I ask you guys a favor?
In the past, friends and readers of this blog have apparently voted for me in the Chicago Reader’s Best of Chicago awards. If you’re so inclined, you can access the voting ballot here to vote for Hands Occupied for Best Indie Crafter. If you vote for me, I you a big “aww, shucks.”
And in case you missed it…
There’s an iPad Mini giveaway over at Mod Podge Rocks! brought you you by me and the blog’s other contributors.
My styrofoam home sweet home sign was on BuzzFeed.
On Monday I posted how to make a faux neon sign with highlighter ink & aquarium tubing.
On Wednesday, I posted the first ever Hands Occupied reader survey to learn how you guys feel about how this blog is doing. You can fill it out through May 15 :).
h/t Making It Lovely’s Honor Roll, Studio DIY’s Happy Weekend!, Oh Happy Day’s Favorite Party Ideas this Week, Brown Eyed Baker’s The Weekend Dish, and many more I’m sure I’m forgetting for inspiring this series.
