The Indie Craft Experience is one of favorite craft organization/events in Atlanta co-founded by our very own Shannon Mulkey and creator of a bardis Christy Petterson! This is their second year doing a holiday pop-up shop, and it is one of the best places to do all of your holiday shopping in one spot. Nestled in the back of Criminal Records Atlanta, you can find handmade gifts from mostly local artists (if not local, the rest are domestic — handmade in the USA!) while having an abundance of gifts for the music/comic book lover in your life in the Criminal Records shop. They’re only open a few more days (through Christmas Eve) and they’re having a great event this Thursday filled with boozy hot cocoa, treats from Bookie Macarons (YUM!), and tote bag giveaways printed by Fallen Arrows and designed by Sarah Watts of Wattsalot.

Hanukkah begins tonight at sundown and what better way to celebrate than with a few crafts? I’m probably so drawn to crafting because I love decorating (or maybe the other way around?) which makes me look forward to holidays a little more than most. I’ve gathered up a few Hanukkah crafts from around the blogosphere to share — and some can be simply altered for Christmas crafting too! Keep an eye out for my follow-up post with some found and personal Christmas crafts this week.

In October 2010, the Stitch + Wire team gathered for the first time for a craft at the Day of the Dead show at Young Blood Gallery + Boutique in Atlanta. Armed with over a hundred sugar skulls and giant bags of icing, we invited anyone that dared to decorate their own skull, creating an altar to honor the dead.
