Sunday Afternoon Housewife

Stop by and see me tonight at one of my favorite places, The Elbow Room! Anyone who stops by tonight and makes a pledge toward my Kickstarter campaign, The Culture of Craft, will get a little bonus reward! Come on over early for happy hour, or late for all the awesome drink specials! See you [...]

It’s all happening right now! Do you ever feel that excited about something? I am feeling so excited right now!

I wanted to share with you the lists that they created: oh, come on! shared a fabulous list of her favorite plush artists on Etsy. I [...]

Ok, so here it is, my first video blog! What? Video? You bet. Why? Because I can.  I had this crazy idea it would be faster to speak my blog today rather than type it.  I was way off on that one, but nonetheless, the first episode of Sunday Afternoon Housewife TV is here. I [...]
