crafty craft-off

some of you might remember that *last* year I did this thing – this little appearance in Venus magazine.
This year I noticed that they were running the contest again, so I thought “ha! wouldn’t it be funny if I won again?”. Except I did win, and instead of funny it was more like “omg – are you serious? I can’t believe I won this thing two years in a row!”.

This year I submitted my tutorial on how to make bike seat rain covers (tutorial link to appear soon!). And they loved it. I love it too – and they sell. The twenty of them I took to ladyfest yesterday have found themselves new bikes to call home. And just in time for the seriously crappy weather. Nothing says I love my bike than a replacement for your not-so-classic-looking Hartmans bag!

So, if you’re in your local magazine shop, check out a copy of the December issue of Venus – there are lots of great ideas, and Cat Power is on the cover, too!

Congratulations! I saw your super seat covers at Ladyfest. I almost went out and bought a bike.
It’s true. The bike seat cover is ESSENTIAL.
Nice going Robyn. Supercool!
Wow! I’m double-drooling… Cat Power on the cover and your bike seat hats making the big-time! Congratulations. That’s very cool.
I’ve had a hard time finding Venus in the past around these parts. I’ve seen it at Venus Envy and once at Chapters South Keys. I asked for it at Mags N Fags once but they thought it was a porn rag. Do you know where else I can get it? I should probably check and see if they are not sold out at Venus Envy first.
You’re an inspiration!
