As the title implies, I am currently smacking my forehead with the palm of my hand for not mentioning getcrafty.com earlier. It is such a staple in the craft community, the “hub of the new domesticity,” as the site says, that I assumed that I had already written about it. Imagine my embarrassment when I went back over the archives and realized I had been remiss! Paint me red. I’m going to pretend that it was my subconscious telling me to hold off because soon a mention of getcrafty.com would, as my friend’s professor says, “feed two birds with one scone.” Recently posed on the site is an article about the first ever Craft Congress by Christy Petterson. Craft Congress, you say? Indeed I do. The biggest and brightest stars of our tight knit community came together earlier this month to discuss this ever-growing movement and how we can come together to make a difference. If that doesn’t get you pumped, well then check this out. Topics discussed: the possibility of shared health insurance for self-employed crafters, affecting copyright laws, and the political power of the crafting community just to name few. Isn’t this invigorating? What’s a more exciting call to action then “Crafters Unite!”
