Thanks so much to Simply Crochet for sharing my yarn stash/craft room in Issue 16, which is on sale now!

  Check out Issue 14 of Homemaker Magazine out of the U.K.! They contacted me a few months ago to offer a few crochet tips for beginners and chat about yarn a little bit, and it’s out now!  I ordered a  hardcopy, but I also just purchased a softcopy on my iPhone with the free Homemaker Magazine app. The rest of the magazine has a wide variety of tips and articles, from sewing to knitting to organizing your home!

Hello, Italian friends and Italian-reading friends! I am in the latest issue of Cucito e Ricamo Magazine, a cute crafty mag available for you in the app store for iPhone/iPad. Just search for “Cucito e Ricamo” and you’ll find the “Casa Creativa” app. The app is free, and then you can decide which magazines you want to purchase. I also found this link to make a purchase, but I don’t know if they send you a PDF, or if it’s still app-related. I can’t read the instructions :P. The magazine looks really cute, though, and there’s 4 pages of Q&A in there with me!    

Sorry I totally forgot to tell you guys about this! I got the PDF emailed to me while I was in L.A.! There’s a little bit about me and what I do in the current issue of Girl Talk magazine in the U.K. Their website is 100% adorable, and I can’t wait to get my hard copy in the mail! Back in the day, I was quoted in INKED Magazine saying I didn’t consider myself an artist. That sounds kinda self-deprecating, but I guess I was creating a hard line between my idea of “crafting” and my idea of “art.” I still don’t really know where I believe I stand in those areas, but the top corner of the magazine page where it says “Real Artist” kinda puts a smile on my face, and I’m happy to inspire girls – young and old – to get creative and pursue their wacky dreams. After working almost 10 years in book publishing, I was really surprised when  Angel introduced me to someone a few years ago and called me an artist. That was a first! I think the funny thing, too, is that her day job at the time was something tech or computer related, but I’ve always thought of her as an amazing photographer first. And now she takes fancy snaps of musicians and is rep’d and everything. It’s fun to see us all grow.

I have a fun feature in Issue 46 of Let’s Get Crafting, out November 9th in the UK! It looks super colorful and cute from the cover. I need to get my hands on a copy!

The lovely Lux behind Girl Is Poison (limited edition and one of a kind clothing) has a new online zine, and there is a little blurb about Twinkie Chan! Also check out her cool project tutorials and future product reviews! Click here to go directly the Indie Designer Crush piece on me!

Jenny, one of my friendly and talented customers, also contributes to the art & film site scene360.com. She asked if I’d do an interview and I said of course!!! It’s really beautifully laid out and you can listen to me ramble on an on about stuff. Also I snapped a photo of this kleenex box cozy inspired by a picture of a cake that the baker called a “strawberry basket.” Mine didn’t end up looking as much like a basket of berries, but it is still pretty delectable nonetheless!
