 This blows my mind, but the CraftyPod podcast is nearing its 100th episode! I thought it would be fun to celebrate with a special show, and I’d love your help.

Read On! There’s More!   I don’t think I’ve ever had a day fly by faster, but Urban Craft Uprising was a total blast. It’s still going on today (Sunday), so if you’re near Seattle, you should stop by! A great space, and so many intriguing artisans. Plus, crafty demos all day, taught by awesome people! After getting lost in downtown … Read On! There’s More!  Whew! The Kanzashi In Bloom Blog Tour comes to an end over at West Coast Crafty. Susan Beal and I both live in PDX, so we got together recently to make some Kanzashi from vintage fabrics and buttons. (…Because Susan knows her vintage buttons!) Anyway, we had a great time, and Susan documented our fun. Her … Read On! There’s More! |
