In just 6 sweet days you’ll be able to buy my new (first) book, Crochet Adorned in bookstores.

To celebrate, I’ve arranged a Blog Book Tour! Several crafty ladies will be posting interviews, reviews, projects and, giveaways! Here’s the lineup so far. I’ll also update the blog with links to each post as they go up [...]

I’m up to my ears in work stuff and new book excitement. Next week at this time, you’ll be able to buy Crochet Adorned in a real bookstore. This feels very exciting to me, because for the longest time I kind of felt like people might think it was all an elaborate ruse. Next time [...]

In case you missed “Crafty By Nature”  this month on Craft Stylish, I wanted to do a little round up of  my projects. Most of mine were focused on the “reduce” part of the equation, the idea being that you can make items to use and reuse in an effort to green your house a [...]

Check out these cute flip flops I designed with a complete tutorial over at Craft Stylish. They are really easy to make-you only have to know how to single crochet (and even if you don’t, I’m sure you can figure it out). I get a simple joy out of wearing them around, and the silk yarn [...]

This is officially my 100th post. Woo-hoo! I figured I should do something to celebrate with y’all. I really appreciate all of your comments. Although I don’t respond to each one, I do read them and they really make my day– I hope you know that.

I added several hats to my etsy shop today- some older ones are on sale, and then there are a whole bunch of new ones that I’ve been spending my time on. I’m especially fond of the birthday cake hats (above right)–they’re so fun to make because of all the bobbles and colors.
In other news, check [...]

Just a quick note to let you know about a great new eco-blog run by two friends of mine: Tiny Choices. Kari has always been my inspiration for doing little things that can help the environment (she composts with worms– in her apartment!), and the blog is about those things. Maybe we can’t do [...]

Just an update to let you know that we didn’t fall in the East River. Hooray! The helicopter ride was actually much, much smoother than I thought it would be and we all thought it was really fun and worth the spendiness. The absolute best part was that it was private- no other tourists- and [...]

As I might have mentioned, my mom is in town visiting for the week. It’s been a lot of fun, although I’m in the middle of many hectic things at the moment (my sister just left a few days ago, we’re closing the mag, Renegade is next week (come by and see me at the [...]
