sad Adorn news

April 15, 2008 at 2:45 pm | In books and mags, chatty |

As Kayte and Tricia also mentioned today, it’s finally official that Adorn magazine is no more. I’m really sad about it — it was one of my favorite magazines to write for, not to mention to read! I wish things had gone differently with it, but I feel so lucky that I got to contribute writing and crafts for the year and a half that it was out in the world… it was a lot of fun.

The blog and site are now pretty much gone, but the flickr group is still active if you want to check that out for crafty inspiration. I was especially disappointed that the spring issue never saw the light of day — including an article I wrote on Jill Bliss and Amanda Soule and their super-inspiring studio spaces. So now I’ll just be writing about each of them in other places, including here later this week.

p.s. for anyone who has subscription questions — I’ve heard that you can try calling Soho at (877) 860-6164.

ETA: just wanted to link over to Linda’s post on the subject and echo her excellent advice — and I couldn’t agree more that it was a great experience, and a really nice thing to be part of and enjoy while it lasted.

I’m so sad to see Adorn go, it was my fave crafting magazine. They really seemed to “get it”.

Boo! I’m not exactly surprised, since print magazines have it awfully hard these days, but I agree that it was a favorite. Thanks for the update, even if not a happy one.

Gah. You are the woman to lead the charge for something new Susan. I know you are dying for a new big project like that, what with Miss Pearl arriving soon and all.

Ohhhhhh, btw, I noticed that Bead Simple is available through the homestyle book club. Right next to Miss Martha herself. Totally cool.

I’ve been so sad about the end of Adorn ever since I tried to renew my subscription and they wouldn’t let me! It was a great magazine and I will take very good care of my back issues.

It was fun while it lasted! I wish we could have kept it going, believe me, we tried. Thanks to everyone for their support along the way!

We tried! At least we had fun while it lasted… Oh! And Michaela and I are brewing a camping trip in your neck of the woods soon. We totally need to hang
