Store Tour: Unglued – Fargo, ND

July 15, 2014 4 Comments

Store Tour: Unglued - Fargo, ND at HandsOccupied.com

If you’ve read this blog for awhile, you might know that I am from Fargo. The Fargo. Yeah, yeah, I’ve heard every possible comment on the movie, the new show, my blond hair, accent, etc. Stereotypes aside, Fargo has always had a fun downtown, but every time I’m home, its cultural landmarks seem to be getting more and more awesome. I mean, Fargo has always been known in the needlecraft world for being home to Nordic Needle (see my Nordic Needle store tour here). Now Fargo also has a super store bringing the cutting edge of DIY to the prairie. Unglued is a fantastic shop carrying an enormous range of handmade wares, cupcakes, offering DIY classes, a kids’ summer camp, an annual craft fair, and I’m sure much more that I’m missing out on from my adult home in the Windy City!

PS: Despite the blond pixie and chunky glasses, I’m not actually related to the gorgeous lady with the nice arms pictured at the top of this post! We did, of course, have a nice, Fargoey moment before my shoot filled with telling each other how much we liked each others’ hair.  :)

Lefse: a traditional Norwegian flatbread that most good High Plains residents have as a holiday or Norwegian family meal staple. I’ve shared my grandma’s sandbakkel cookie recipe in the past, I might have to tackle lefse one of these days for you guys… ;)

This is not a sponsored post. I just really love this store and thought it would be fun to share a piece of my home town with you all. You can find Unglued online at their website, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest & Instagram. Can’t make it to Fargo? They have an online shop too.

    Would you do a tour for a group of 10 and 11 year old Girl Scouts.

      I don’t own Unglued – I just featured their very excellent store here on my blog. You’d need to call the store directly to see if they do tours.

Peg boards and craft room organization go together Peg boards and craft room organization go together like peanut butter and jelly. So, as you can see, do latch hook tools and screwdriver organizers! 🪛 
.
I think this trick translates to any tool with a thick handle, so leather working tools, punch needles, print making tools, etc. should work! What other tools am I, a needlecrafter, blanking on right now?

Pegboard storage is my favorite for craft supplies Pegboard storage is my favorite for craft supplies, so getting a few hung in my new studio has been a priority. Here’s my first attempt. 🔨 
.
Details: This pegboard panel is for organizing my knitting needles, latch hook tools, sewing thread, etc. It doesn’t need to hold much weight, so I didn’t anchor this into a stud - just used basic drywall anchors. I’ve also got a set of two 2’x4’ panels for another spot in my studio, and those will need a stud/more than 3 drywall anchors. Wish me luck!

It’s time for the annual Hands Occupied new year It’s time for the annual Hands Occupied new year update, and for the first time in years, I feel like I have some clarity about what I’m doing next. ❤️ Head to the blog to read all about it, the 1ink is where you’d think.

June’s big ears can get cold in winter, so I’m improvising a doggie ear warmer/hood for her. What are the odds she tries to shred it immediately when it’s done?
