Spring has entered the chat. The birds are chirping, pollen is plotting against us, and suddenly we all want nails that look like a pastel candy aisle exploded in the best possible way.

The Conclusion of Women’s History and National Craft Month – Women Who Are Changing the Game
Being a multi-hyphenate can sometimes make you feel all over the place, but for those of you who know, it can also be a blessing. As I was putting this month’s blog posts together, I noticed that all of these women started off doing many different things with their hands, like crochet, knitting, sewing, quilting, etc. I’m convinced that when you work with your hands, you can do many crafts or arts. Beauty is in making things or at least that’s how I feel.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
