This month, I want to introduce you to a blogger who has a great aesthetic eye and an important mission. Elizabeth Rogers Drouillard writes Things Bright, and as the name implies, most days it’s drenched with color.

So every once in a while, I want to share a blogger I think … Read On! There’s More!  Just a quick note today – will you help a fellow crafter out? Rachel, who many of you already know and love, has a perfectly amazing dimensional embroidery piece in NASA & Etsy’s Space Craft contest. It’s a voting contest, and voting ends at the end of Friday. So can you pop over there right now … Read On! There’s More!  This is how quickly fun things can happen in our community – I was catching up on Rebecca’s blog the other day, and I spied these awesome New York coasters she makes. “Wouldn’t it be fun,” I thought, “if she had a set of these for Portland?” So I emailed her, and she replied that actually, … Read On!
