We are very excited that Morgan at Etsy offered me the opportunity to create a blog post describing our project, DIY Lounge.
It went live the other day and we’ve been receiving many compliments and well wishes. We are hoping that this will invigorate our Kickstarter fundraising campaign.

We are beyond pleased to announce that, Mark Montano, author of “The Big-Ass Book of Crafts”, Dollar Store Decor: 100 Projects for Lush Living That Won’t Break the Bank, and many more, will be appearing at the Crafty Wonderland Super Colossal Spring Sale. Mark is also the star of many TV projects including: WeTV’s She’s Moving In, and TLC’s While You Were Out and many of you will recognize him as the face of the Yudu. He will be on hand to sign his brand new book, The Big-Ass Book of Home Decor: More than 100 Inventive Projects for Cool Homes Like Yours. Mark will also be doing a Make and Take and generally spreading his crafty goodness around Portland.
DIY Lounge will be interviewing him for the upcoming Pilot Episode in our booth so come by and say hi. It will be so nice to introduce him to the amazingly creative denizens that call Portland home.
See You All There!
Dear Faithful Friends and Fans,
As you know we are going to be appearing at the Crafty Wonderland Super Colossal Spring Sale. We will be doing some filming, interviewing, etc. One of the many things we’re really excited about is the DIY Lounge Raffle, a chance for us to raise some money for the project and a chance for you to obtain some awesome swag for the price of a raffle ticket.
We are so honored and excited by the generous contributions. One of our favorite companies is, Namaste, a company specializing in bags and accessories specifically designed to carry all of your knitting, crochet and miscellaneous craft products.
These vegan bags and accessories meld form and function seamlessly. Here are a few examples:
So, don’t forget to stop by and say hi. We are really excited to be part of the Crafty Wonderland Family.
Cheers,
D.I.Y. Lounge will be a sponsor and presence at the upcoming, Crafty Wonderland Super Colossal Spring Sale. We will be on-site taping the event, showcasing artists and their wares and promoting our upcoming TV show.
We are very excited about having a presence at our favorite Handmade Bazaar. Cathy Pitters and Torie Nguyen have been wonderfully supportive of our fledgling show and we hope to return the favor by showcasing this great event.
This time Crafty is going to be a two day event, Saturday May 1st and Sunday May 2nd from 11AM to 5PM. Remember the admission is free and the First 200 Shoppers receive some goodie bags filled with some handmade goodness.
So stop by our booth and say hi. We will be selling raffle tickets for some amazing prizes with all proceeds going to produce the TV Show.
See you there!!!
Today Jen, Patrick and I shot footage for the new Kickstarter and YouTube Teaser. Talk about super easy and fun.
The day started with us taking advantage of the coolest craft store in the U.S., Collage on Woodstock. We then made our way over to the one and only Bakery Bar where we shot some footage of us molesting some fondant. Our favorite vintage furniture store, Lounge Lizard was next, where we took complete advantage of the abundance of mid-century furniture and accessories. We them scampered over to the fabulous Scrap to show our viewers what recycling really means. The day of shooting ended up with us at the Alibi Tiki Bar punch drunk from too much fun and a bit of Mai-Tai. Even though it was only noon we worked hard for that cocktail, so don’t judge us, plus it was really more of a prop than anything….*hiccup*
DIY Lounge, the Multimedia Experience (Extreme Working Title) is turning out to be sensationally easy and rewarding. We can’t wait to share our experiences, education and knowledge with you, our faithful fans.
Stay tuned for the new Teaser and remember:
“DON’T DENY YOUR DIY”
