Hi, Gang – I’m just back from a week’s vacation in California, and pretty much buried in email and deadlines and some office-renovation frenzy. I have some cool things to share with you from the trip, but I need a little time. So, meantime, take a look at these three posts I have up on CraftStylish.
Up top there is a silk scarf I made from recycled neckties. I’m so happy with how this thing came out! Can’t wait to wear it for Fall.

Next, there’s an interview with our beloved Meggiecat. You probably know she’s a great blogger, but did you know that she also has lots of experience in running a craft business? She shared a ton of great insights with me. Go check it out.

And finally, I did a tutorial on making these cute embossed metal tins, using my favorite craft material: foil tape!
I’ll see you on the other side of all this mess…. If you’ve emailed or commented recently, I may be a while in responding. Sorry!

I saw your tutorial on craftstylish … I’ve been really good about not buying more craft stuff, but those tins are a big temptation… I might have to go get some foil tape! Thank you for making the internet an awesome “place.”

Awwww, you called me beloved. I’m honored.
That interview was such an exciting process for me and I think we both did a terrific job.
Thanks
