Flickr user mizutamago says that she’s exercising her “constitutional right to exploit my child” by crafting this (completely thrifted) onesie for her kiddo. We think she’s fulfilling her obligation to raise her kiddo as an aware, engaged citizen… Who’s also very well dressed. Either way, this is absolutely adorable. She blogged about this project over here.

Yes We Can!

Allison, from Cincinnati, Ohio, sent us this great picture of her beautiful greyhound, Perseus, sporting a custom Obama bandanna she made for him. We imagine he must be the best-dressed pooch on the block! You can read Allison’s blog post about this project over here.

This block was created by one of the members of the Fiber Artists for Obama Group, this one contributed by quilt artist Gerrie Congdon of Portland, Oregon. (We promise, we have no geographic biases—Portlanders are uploading a disproportionate number of projects to the OCP Flickr pool.)

On flickr, Diana Bracy made a moment on this photo that encapsulates the project’s depth:

Each photo seems as though he is thinking each sentiment in the word(s).

(This is a piece of a collaborative quilt. If anyone has a photo of the finished quilt, please send it to us at obamacraftproject [at] gmail [dot] com.)

Normanack, Michigan mom and crafter, was asked by her daughter’s American history teacher to repair the classroom stuffed animal. Here’s her story:

Sewing the arm back on was the work of a moment. I couldn’t help adding a little shirt to keep the wee beastie warm.

And I couldn’t help injecting a wee bit of political commentary. I do hope the teacher takes it in the gentle spirit in which it was given.

We that that’s brilliantly crafty and clever.

Yes We Can!

We’re thinking that Portland will soon be covered in Obama party banners (check out our own over here). These lovely rainbow colored ones were created by Becky aka VespaBelle, who captured the spirit of the diversity of the Obama campaign in her multi-hued string of pennants.

Yes We Can!
