A nursing home in Australia has been working on a big group knitting project creating an entire 1950's style room, and everything in it is knitted and crocheted. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen, at least since I saw that Hello Kitty sushi a few weeks ago.

I love Crafts that actually become Art.

We are still fighting the good fight in Puppetland. Officially, we have not started to build anything. The producers are cutting animals out of the Garden of Eden to cut the budget, and they still cannot get the director/grand poobah to pick something as basic as a color pallette for the show. The show that opens the beginning of June. If you can't make simple design choices (or trust in your assistants) why would you possibly take on the gargantuan task of a 1 1/2 hour spectacle stage show with singing, aerialists, dancers, giant puppets, SFX lights and who knows what else?
