Well, it’s the first
Monday of the month and you know what that means! The Designer
Craft Connection
Blog Hop!!! Boy, you are in for a big surprise! The topic for this blog hop is
the newly finished Craft and Hobby Winter Show. Since most of the designers on
the Designer Craft
Connection went to the CHA show, we thought
we would share with everyone all of the cool things we saw at the CHA show. So,
if you didn’t get a chance to attend the largest craft show around, we will
bring the show to you. Make sure that you click on the DCC blinkie on
the right side of my blog to hop from blog to blog and see all of the coolest products in the craft industry!
More exciting news from
me! Because the show is so big I can’t fit all the information in one blog post
so, please check back with me a few times this week for more on the CHA show.
And while I’m at it, I might as well let you know that I will be increasing my blog posts to 3-5 times a week instead of
my usual 1 time a week. I’m having such a blast sharing all things craft
related and I really hope that you will continue to stop by. I will be offering more craft projects
& instructions and I will also be offering tips & techniques, maybe a give-away
or two (hee hee!), some guest blog posts, and much, much more. Stay tuned
and check me out as I kick it up a notch or two!!!
Let’s get started….
There was so much to see
at this show that I wasn’t even sure where to start. I decided to start with
the new products that were awarded the Innovations
Award for the “Hot New Products” at
the show. I’m sorry I don’t have pictures, but I’ve listed a brief description
of each product. I’ll have lots of pictures in my other posts.
Approximately 100 new
products were entered for the Innovations
Award at the show. The panel of judges picked 20 of these products to be
named “Hot New Products”. The
manufacturers set up their displays and demos for the judges. Each manufacturer
had 60 seconds to promote their new product and judges and attendees had the
opportunity to see the new products and watch demos. Here are the products and their
manufacturers in alphabetical order-

need specialty fabric for making diaper covers. The program includes
coordinating snaps and snap tool, fold over elastic, appliqués and more.
