		<description><![CDATA[Today we had our first ever officially unofficial ames c.art event! A mending workshop at the Ames Progressive office. It was a lot of fun and everyone brought something to work on. Seems like the pockets are always getting torn off Jason&#8217;s jeans. Extensive mending and patching was executed. See the darned spot? nope, me neither! And that&#8217;s the point. 3 pairs of socks now ready for feet! usually it&#8217;s the dog carrying around the toy that looks like a cat, well, in this case it&#8217;s sarah&#8217;s cat that carries around a little dog &#8211; a proceeds to claw it&#8217;s guts out. Favorite cat toy now ready to be re-gutted all over again! I brought a whole slew of books to look through and browse and chat about. zines brought back from San Francisco, collected over the years, and newly acquired. Ames c.art fliers at the ames progressive. You can download fliers to print out and distribute here. More fliers coming soon! I just printed these off on graph paper, cut them down a bit, and then fixed them to 1/4 page pieces of card stock to hand out &#8211; print on anything you want and give them to friends &#8211; make them your own by jazzing them up, or get them out there on some white printer paper &#8211; main thing is to just have fun, spread the word, and help make ames c.art a success. Thank you for spreading the word! And it was so great to meet/remeet/collaorate/chat with all of you! Look to the calendar and the news blog for more information on upcoming ames c.art events!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This Sunday we are going to make and mend and talk a bit about what we all want for our local group. Bring: a project to work on, a project (or neat book or whatever you are excited about) to show off, and a sack lunch. I will be mending and knitting and bring a few interesting books I’ve come across lately. I want to encourage a bit of a show and tell this meeting. What have you been working on at home? what are you excited about? what have you been writing, playing, reading, making? Questions? Bring those too: on any sewing, crochet, knitting, weaving, drawing, or painting project bring it along. All members have their own areas of expertise; we will all work together to help find a solution for your project. When and Where: Sunday, July 12th – Noon to 4pm – stop by anytime, we are so okay with dropping in when you can to say hi. The Ames Progressive – located at 118 Hayward Avenue, Suite #3 in Ames, in the same building as The Ark Pet Shop, Domino’s Pizza, Nite Owl Printing and Scallion Korean Restaurant (just go around back, or take the side entrance and follow the hallway) See you there!
