P.S. Keep those Crafty Tattoos Coming!!!

Hey, I am waiting to upload 200 stills from when we shot at Renegade Craft Fair last weekend because my camera batter got sucked into some blackhole, then we had to jump on a plane to New York for the re-launch party of American Craft Magazine. So here I am in NY and we are about to be on our way to SoHo to do an interview Andrew Wagner the new Editor in Cheif of American Craft- hopefully this weekend I'll have time to upload all the Chicago picutres and now the NY pictures as well. Yesterday we did a great interview with Sabrina of KnitKnit Magazine (now book) and Callie of The Church of Craft.

More soon including big news about the Handmade Nation Book! Gotta go catch the Subway-
