Hi, I love to knit, sew, and crochet and I'd love to learn how to do more than that. I live in Greenwich CT (recently moved from Manhattan) and I have one small and adorable son, a great husband and currently a new puggle! Looking forward to the Craft Stylish experience!

Re: Crafte's Inferno: Crafting For The Family

This story is a classic! I can totally relate, but have never admitted how let down I have felt sometimes when making things for others--it feels so selfish. Wasn't I making something for someone else? You have given me something to think about: my own creative agenda. Thanks for making me laugh!

Re: Crafte's Inferno: The Second Circle of Craft Hell

I loved reading this post too. I wish that I could relate your experiences to my own crafting--but I can only relate it to other aspects of my life. Maybe if I take a class or two I can cover a chair like that--gorgeous! Thanks for the funny story:)

Re: Recycle, Adorn and Embellish Your Tote Bag with These Fab Ideas

You know, I just wanted to tell you how much I love this site. It is such a great resource for moms like me who love all of this stuff but don't have the time to search for all of it. Keep up the great work! And thanks so much.

Re: It's A Bird, It's a Plane, It's a Super-Quilt from the Past

Oh! I LOVE this project (and the way it tells a story--so cool!) and Jill has given me a great thing to do with my kids this summer. I've never quilted anything before but this would be the perfect gift for my parent's fiftieth anniversary later on this year. Imagine a quilt made by me and their grandkids? And we were thinkging a big screen TV! Thank you Jill and thanks for posting this!

Wow! This sounds like it was so much fun. Thanks for all of the pictures. I would have missed not seeing that eyelash necklace! I want to hang out with Craft Stylish too!

Re: Choose Your News! Get Updates About Your Favorite Crafts and Crafters with our RSS Feeds

Hi, Thanks for the information about rss feeds. I'd like to get one for Michaela Murphy but she isn't listed. Is there some way to do this? I met Michaela recently and I'd like to be able to read her stuff.
Thank you very much.

Re: The Maker Faire Makes Way for New Friends, Fresh Ideas and Awesome Purchases

Hi,
I met you while I was at the Maker Faire, I was with my husband and kids and you took some time to tell us about the website, which I LOVE. Thanks for your time and for this write up about the fair. I like what you wrote and you captured what the experience was like for us too. I hope you write some for for the site.
