WOW. The Bust Craftacular was a total blowout! I've never seen so many handmade happy people in my life! It was held in the Waraw- a Polish dancehall and concert venue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Shoulder-to-shoulder people as far as the eye could see:
I was thrilled to cross paths with the always-superbly-coiffed Brini Maxwell. Not to mention finally enjoying some good 'ol craft market chatter with Jean Railla, Djerba Goldfinger and of course, Debbie Stoller. But the best was getting to meet those of you who came by specifically to say howdy to me. Some of you even jumped up and down and clapped your hands a little. You people are weird. But good weird...
Oh! And let me introduce you to Pearl, by far my youngest and cutest customer. Lookout- She's got Monkey Love patterns and she's gonna use 'em:
Don't miss these happenin' holiday markets!! I'll have kits and patterns at the Blue Genie Art Bazaar (look for them in the Austin Craft Mafia's booth) in Austin, TX Dec 7-24th. And, over yonder in NYC, I'll be appearing in person (to sign copies of Stitch-It Kit at 7pm and man a booth) at the BUST Holiday Craftacular at the Warsaw in Williamsburg on Dec. 17th. How hip is that, people? I'll see you there. You better not blow it off.

For years I have been asked how I make my embroidered portraits. This will be a series of three, 2-hour classes where I'll guide you through the steps I've developed so you can make a really special work of embroidery all your own.
