Crafty Chica

We just love this Mercado Bag made of oilcloth! You can find instructions on how to sew your own tote bag in Kathy Cano-Murillo's new book titled Crafty Chica's Guide to Artful Sewing available for pre-order at Random House. This tote bag is great for a variety of different activities. "The idea is to create a mosaic/pathwork type of bag that shows off all the happy colors of the oilcloth!" Cano-Murillo's book offers lots of "fabu-low-sew projects for the everyday crafter."

Creating A Delicious Future

We just received a copy of the "Creating A Delicious Future" 2009 calendar. The photographs are shot by Andrea Fazzari and the organization has ties to Anolon, a new campaign "dedicated to bringing back the simple art of eating delicious food prepared at home using fresh, seasonal, local ingredients." The final page of the calendar features a beautiful photo with some of our most favorite oilcloth prints. Can you spot the Gingham Green, Pears and Apples Red and Citrus Blue tablecloths?
