St. Patrick’s Day – All Green Everything!
There are two types of people on St. Patrick’s Day. The first group throws on a wrinkled green T-shirt five minutes before leaving the house so they don’t get pinched. The second group? They commit. I’m somewhere in between celebrating from afar and throwing up a pint of stout at the local Irish Pub.
National Craft Month – Hurray for Crochet!
March is National Craft Month, which means it’s time to talk about something near and dear to my creative little heart: making things with your hands. Real things. Beautiful things. Things that require patience, creativity, and maybe a cup of coffee sitting next to you while you figure out what on earth you just did three rows back.
BHM: Celebrating African American Etsy Sellers
Every year when Black History Month rolls around, I find myself reflecting on legacy, creativity, innovation… and where I’m putting my dollars. Because celebration is cute. But circulation of money? That’s power.
For my final post of Black History Month, I’m spotlighting something near and dear to my design-loving, small-business-supporting heart: Black Etsy sellers. The makers. The artists. The creatives, building beautiful things from their homes, studios, kitchen tables, and late-night bursts of genius.
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.
