So I’ve been playing around making little Paper Fox logos for my future business cards, etc. and this is what I’ve got so far.  Leave comments to tell me which ones you like or hate or ‘Oh My God JudyB what have you been smoking?’ – all opinions are welcome.

So a friend from work called me today to tell me she had found the scarf I made for her last Christmas in her son’s backpack yesterday.

The bright fluffy-girly-beyond-belief-PINK scarf. It was a five yarn (I believe) knit stitch scarf, absolutely beautiful (in my humble opinion) and one of my favorites. 

Needless to say, she was a bit shocked and asked him why he had her scarf.  He said simply that he liked it. “But it’s pink”, she said – to which he replied, “Who’s cares? It’s soft and really warm! I like it!”

All I can say is – Bless that practical young man! And of course he has such good taste!

I’m going to make him his own Blue & Red one for this holiday season – his mother tells me they’re his favorite colors.

So! Welcome to the Paper Fox Craft Collective website!

As it says on our ‘About’ page, we are a small group of creative folks who get together and do (hopefully) creative things.  This is our place to document the goings on and link to the saleable final product.

In this first post I want to tell you about ME! Because I’m awesome…

So I’m Judy B and I’m the one you’ll be seeing the most of as I do all the updating around here… well me and my wonderful, awesome, superfantabulous Webmaster Eric D.

 So this is my big Introduction to the site and to myself as a crafter.  For myself you can read my blurb in the About section.  I pretty much do (or at least attempt to do) any craft that takes my fancy.  Whether or not I stick to it is another story…

 Currently I mostly knit.  I’m going to learn to spin in a few weeks (when I’m a little less broke) and up until a few weeks ago when I knocked my camera around I was busily taking photos of anything that would sit still long enough. 

And on a side note I can no longer bad mouth Bestbuy (and the failed attempt to purchase a computer from them) because yesterday they exchanged my camera no questions asked.  I just wanted to send the lens off for repair but they exchanged the body and lens on the spot! Of course I forgot to take the battery out but buying a new battery is sooo much cheaper than replacing that lens would have been… I’m still going to try to retrieve the battery but I’m not going to make a fuss over it.

But I digress… (fancy word! And I even know what it means!)

I am an equal opportunity crafter and will try just about anything at least once.  My studio (ahem… super stifling hot attic) is stuffed floor to ceiling with bits and bobs (and an Earl I’m sure, buried under it all).  My rent-to-own husband keeps saying he’s going to put his foot down about me collecting things for yet another project, but so far he hasn’t and I just keep collecting more stuff. I love stuff.

Hoarding? Moi?

Besides knitting, my major areas of interest include Jewelry, Scrapbooking, Terrain (miniature landscapes for fantasy/scifi wargames – like Warhammer 40K), and smaller assemblage pieces – if you’re not sure what that means, don’t worry, I don’t either. I like sticking things together, dang it!

Anyway… I guess that’s enough about me for now… for future ease of use each entry will be tagged with a category – like this one is an ‘introduction’ and a ‘judy b’.  Since there are so many things we’ll talk about here, and posts from multiple people, each will be categorized.  So if you only want to read my posts about my rabbits, just click that category.  I’ll have to talk with Eric D. about multiple categories, like selecting only ‘judy b’s’ ‘knitting’ and not everybody’s knitting… hmmm….
