Crafty Superstar

This past weekend I went to Portland for Crafty Wonderland. I decided to take the train down as I just wanted to mellow out for a few hours. I took a little time to read Crafty Superstar: Make Crafts on the Side, Earn Extra Cash, and Basically Have It All. I haven't finished it yet but have to say that it is a great little book and very portable which is great for the commuters out there.

My new book is now making it's way to book shelves around you...well hopefully. Be sure to check out my new book, Button and Stitch: Supercute Ways to Use Your Button Stash. It has a lot of great projects in there created by tons of great artists and yours truly.
