This embroidered tea towel from flickr user jjjjo really doesn’t need any additional commentary, does it?

Yes We Can!

With Halloween coming up and Election Day quickly following, Yes We Carve (tagline: “Change Your Pumpkin, Change Your World”) couldn’t be more seasonally appropriate. They have several downloadable stencils for all of your “Barack O’Lantern” needs. You can also check out other people’s carved pumpkins (like this one from Thomas in Williamsburg, VA) in the photo gallery and submit your own photos and stencils to the Yes We Carve crew.

Shout-out to Rachel for tweeting this one at us…

Yes We Can!

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!

Flickr user tiehmei stitched this Obama pillow. She made this in March–perhaps as a shout-out to how the campaign was en fuego after ten straight victories?

(Thanks, tiemei, for providing such a clever photo name…)
