Crafters and Friends
Friends and artists that inspire me along the way
Handmade Arcade and GBMC
Spring show time! First up is Handmade Arcade, this Saturday in Pittsburgh, PA. This was the very first show that I did in 2006, and the show that got me hooked and craft and inspired me to quit my job. This show has come a long way in 5 years. When I did it, it [...]
A few things. Let’s catch up!
Wow. I guess it is almost the holiday season, huh? (If you ask Ohmeaghan, it is in full swing) I have been working like it is. Been trying to make at least 50 pieces a week, which is pretty hard to keep up. Luckily, I have a lot of reasons to keep it up. I have 2 [...]

Not all good days have to be productive ones.
Although not quite as productive as I’d like, today has been a great day! I made it into The Baltimore Sun’s fashion section this morning. You can see a scan of it here. It is always fun to see your name in print. THEN then awesome folks at Etsy included me in their Repurpose blog today! [...]
The American Craft Council and me.
Five years ago I went on a college field trip to the American Craft Council show at the Baltimore Convention Center. I remember having two distinct thoughts, “Holy cow, this is the most amazing show that I have ever seen!” and “Wow, I would never want to do a craft show.” We all know that [...]
Year in Preview – 2010
I hope everyone is having a productive new year so far. Despite starting my year off sick, I am excited for this year. Instead of doing a year in review post for 2009, I thought I would rather look ahead to some of the good things on the horizon. 2010 started off well with a great blog [...]
