Mini-Profile

"To be entertained is plainly a shallower pursuit than to be inspired." ~Oscar Wilde

Greetings, everyone. Let’s share some crafty goodness.

I’ve made stuff my whole life, and my interest in crafting and creativity is vast. My more recent obsessions include plastic canvas, making refrigerator magnets out of bottlecaps, and collecting funky old craft books from the 60’s and 70’s. (Pantyhose crafts? Pilgrims made from old bleach bottles? Yeah, baby — the weirder the better!)

I also make a podcast about crafting, called CraftyPod. It’s aggregated here, so you can listen while you browse.

I’d love to answer any questions you have about crafts in general: such as where to find supplies or patterns, or how to get started with a particular technique, or how your favorite techniques and materials came to be. Whatever I don’t know, I can find out for you.

If you’d like some help getting the word out about a crafty event in your community, send me the details and I’ll post it here.

I’ll also post reviews of various craft books and craft supplies here — so tell me about your favorites!
