My all time favorite art & craft market takes place tomorrow, so I'll be chugging the coffee until the wee hours tonight trying to make sure I'll have enough lockets, magnets & other goodies for the fabulous shoppers who line up bright & early just to get inside. It's time for Got Craft! Some of… Continue reading Got Craft Is Tomorrow!
Got Craft is right around the corner & the swag has started to roll in for the legendary Got Craft swag bags!

The Eastside Culture Crawl is taking place this weekend & I was lucky enough to nab a sneak preview at my friend Liane Varnam's studio space in 1000 Parker Street.

I'm a hermit at heart, so crisp fall weather, warm cozy sweaters & hot cups of coffee in… Continue reading I Love Fall

Even… Continue reading Squeezing the Last Drops Out of Summer
