Hello there! I'm Sister Diane and I have two grand passions: making crafts and making media. That's what I write about here, and sometimes, I get all thoughtful about internet culture and creative small businesses. Thanks for stopping by! Would you like some tea?

Images by Kristin Roach

In this show:

• An interview with Kristin Roach, who turned a fun blog idea, Craft Leftovers, into a full-time business… one step at a time.

• Some discussion on the value of just trying stuff – and being willing to accept successes and failures along the way.

• Helpful ideas on the value of finding those intermediate steps between you and your big business goals.

• …And a really important emerging idea: finding ways to create small income opportunities for other crafters.

Links:

• Visit Craft Leftovers online, where you’ll find Kristin’s blog, shop, patterns and projects.

• Kristin’s zine, Craft Leftovers Monthly, is always a delight – and gives her an opportunity to pay her contributors.

• Kristin also runs a side business, K.r.o Studio, where she pursues her fine art, teaching, and community projects.

• Here’s that ebook we just released: Card. Paper. Ribbon.

    Oooh! I really can't wait to hear you two. :-) This Podcast just couldn't come at a better time as I am thinking of going solo, in a near future.

    I'll download it this weekend and give my feedback to you too, for sure. xoxo!

    Have a great Valentine's day, Diane. :-)

    This was such an inspiring podcast! Thank you both for your enthusiasm for what you do. I especially love the point that Kristin started with something very close to her heart and just went from there. That's a great model for us all!
