  1. It seems like the event discriminates against crafters without a blog….not all of us who do crafts have a blog nor are even interested in one…shame on CraftGossip!!

  2. I believe the purpose of this event is to connect bloggers with product so that when they use it they can inform the public about it. You have time to do Facebook so you should have time to write a blog and you don’t have to do it everyday. It’s fun and you can connect with a lot of people who do the same crafts as you do, or connect with other craft people or artists who might get you to try something new or to think outside the box.

  4. Aww, too bad this is the day of my daughter’s birthday and that they don’t have knitting products — I’d love to meet some of you and you’ll just be three hours away form me!

  5. Well, actually, it IS the first Little Rock game for the Razorbacks……but I would easily give up tailgating to go to Trio’s for crafting!!! Priorities….

  7. I hear you Suzanne! All you Razorback fans, the game between New Mexico and Arkansas starts at 6 p.m., so you can do it all. Tailgate, craft at Trio’s, and attend the game! –Scarlett (Quilting Editor, Craft Gossip)

Book Review: Off to the Nursery

One of the best things about the return of warmer weather is getting to plant new flowers and starting the vegetable garden if you have one. Off to the Nursery by Alice Oehr is subtitled “a celebration of gardening, plants and seasons,” and it’s also a celebration of diversity (because gardening is for everyone) and caring for the earth.

The book starts with the work of getting the garden ready for spring, pulling out the old plants and spreading compost made from kitchen scraps. They grab tomatoes and peppers, learn about zucchini and eggplant and explore the tasty world of herbs.

They also look through the seeds, succulents, berries and fruit trees, flowers and aquatic plants, talking about the benefits of different plants and how fun they are to grow. Maybe you can relate to the family buying what seems like way too many plants?

The book was originally published in Australia, so some of the flowers mentioned might not be familiar to your or your kids, but that’s kind of fun, too. You can also use this as an opportunity to talk about which plants in the book can grow where you live and that just like animals, plants have preferred habitats, too.

Illustrations are colorful and the book combines a standard font and a hand written font to make it feel more like a journal about the garden. The illustrations include fun facts and growing tips such as always planting mint in a pot or germinating seeds on a wet paper towel before planting.

If you want to introduce kids to gardening or just talk about what kind of plants can be grown at home where you live (yes to tomatoes, probably no to the kumquat tree), this cute book is a great addition to your spring reading list.

About the book: 30 pages, hardcover. Published 2025 by Scribble US. Suggested retail price $18.95.
