Looking for some free knitting fun and chit chat? If you are on Twitter then you are in luck because yarn crafter Vickie Howell is hosting a tweeting chat tonight for Lands’ End. It runs from 7 to 9pm tonight, so you can pop in anytime between then in Tweet-ville and see what’s up.

For more information as well as how to get to the Tweet chat, go to this post over at Vickie’s weblog.

Cathie Filian is a crafter and dog lover extraordinaire and has teamed up with United Hope for Animals to raise money and tickle your funny bone at the same time by running a charity dog costume and book auction on Ebay. Up for auction are 13 dog costumes, stitched up by Cathie, and 13 copies of her new book, Bow Wow Wow! Bids start at only $9.99. The auction ends September 5th, 2009, so you only have a few days to get bidding for that perfect costume for your favorite pooch.

These little fine silver metal clay charms are some of my favorite pieces to make and use in jewelry. Awhile ago Jean Yates from the “Snap out of it Jean! There’s beading to be done!” weblog, purchased some of my stars off my Etsy shop, and she is showing them off today in an adorable piece of doll jewelry. This is not the first piece of doll jewelry by Jean, so make sure you give a good look around. Her dolls are always dressed to the nines!
