I’m about to listen to this, but I must say the Ritter bars are too good. I tell Cathie not to bring them home from work or I’ll have to take half her property with me when I go.

I just listened to the interview. Great work! I loved it. I’ve added Kate’s blog to my RSS feeds. Now that she lives in Portland, does this mean you can have lunch together every week? ;-)

Great show Diane, thought I almost wanted to cry when you said it was the last show of the year… then I remembered that this year is almost up – how did that happen? ;-) Kate’s work is interesting and so united, a theme, a theme, oh how I wish I could work around ONE theme! thanks both of ya!

Wonderful episode, Diane. Thank you so much for interviewing Kate.
I was glad for you that you took a break from podcasting, but I’m glad for me now that you’re back. ;)

[...] lack of art in my life struck me forcibly as I listened to the latest episode of Craftypod. A wonderful episode about a woman who has found oodles of inspiration in drawing what she [...]
I enjoyed this one so much. I could relate to a lot of what Kate had to say, especially the bit about the inevitability of spending money on your work (oh boy do I know about that one!) and the positive aspects of having a structure that surrounds and supports the work. I got similar benefits from doing The Diary Project last year; I was able to make anything at all that I wanted (as long as it would fit into an envelope!) and I’m finding that I miss having that structure in my art life.
