Challenge: Crafty Crumbs

First off, Inkblot had a bit of a scare today. Her internet was on the fritz! It said that it was 100% connected, but no websites would show up. Disappointing, to say the least. So if Inkblot stops posting for a couple days, it's because of her internet. Now, on to the real post!
Inkblot has discovered a rocking site: Department of Craft. The site is a sometimes edgy, always exciting blog. Inkblot adores the blog topics, including an update on craft events (from all over the place!) and mentions of extreme crafting events or articles (like the giant knitting project where maybe 30 people work on it at once!). But Inkblot's favorite, above all, is the monthly Craft Challenge. It is posted as a finished product by those involved in the making of Department of Craft. Inkblot thinks there are four of them. Anyway, they decide on a challenge (like "uniform" or "container") and the group takes the month to craft something specifically for the challenge (and the love of crafting!). When everyone has finished, they show each other and post pictures and such on the blog. It's a wonderful source of inspiration, and Inkblot really thinks it would be a great idea to take part in the challenges (a month late of course, having to see what they are before she can make something). A nice way to step back and craft because she loves it, not because she is trying to finish a project or practice a skill or make a little money. Department of Craft is made up of a few very creative and crafty people, so it wasn't a surprise when Inkblot discovered that they had let the brilliant craft challenge idea fall behind a bit, having not posted a challenge in a few months. But Inkblot is pretty sure the challenge will continue to live, we just have to wait for the fabulous creative minds to remember it. In the meantime, Inkblot is so excited to share this with you! She hopes you all might decide to hang out at Department of Craft a little, maybe try a challenge or two.
