Local blog readers listen up -- I'm teaching free, yes FREE, crafting workshops this spring through the Alachua County Library District. The first workshop takes place this Saturday, March 14, at 10:30 a.m. at the High Springs Library.

We'll transform felted sweaters and cool metallic threads from Kreinik into one of a kind flower pins that you can wear. Or if you're not into flower pins, then you can make a java jacket to keep your coffee hot and your hands cool. All you need to bring is your sassy self and a pair of sharp scissors.

Here's the skinny on the other three upcoming workshops:
