It’s taken me a very long time to convince my editors that adding a craft column and blog is a good idea, so I’d really appreciate your support. Please visit my newspaper blog and help me stir up a little traffic so I can prove to my editors that there really is a demand for craft-related content. Leave a comment and make my day.
Monday you’ll be able to download the instructions I wrote for five simple children’s Halloween costumes including a bat, mummy, butterfly, flower and lady bug. The instructions were written as part of a holiday feature about homemade costumes. My column is expected to launch Sunday. Every week I plan to feature a West Michigan artist or crafter and give readers a free project related to what that person does to try at home. Every now and then I do plan to profile artists from outside our circulation area because I want to introduce local readers to some of the great people I’ve “met” through my podcast.
Take a visit to Running with Needles, and bookmark it for the future to support a fellow craft gal. – [ via ] Link.
