Just wanted to quickly mention that I’ll be on AM Northwest tomorrow morning (on KATU 2) showing how to make jewelry from Bead Simple! If you are in Portland or anywhere nearby and want to tune in, I’ll be on at 9:40 am making the Pink Floral Ribbon Choker and showing some other projects and…
Hey, I’m back after a nice hiatus hanging out with Miss Pearl… and I’m very excited about the CRAFT: magazine release party Diane and I are hosting this upcoming Sunday, June 1 for my official re-entry into the crafty world! If you are in Portland, I hope you can make it by to say hello…
I’m so happy to announce that our daughter Pearl is finally here! She arrived last Tuesday and she is such a sweet little thing — she has been so much fun. I can hardly believe that we get to keep her! I think she looks just like Andrew — she has so much gorgeous dark…
Just wanted to mention that my first two technique videos from Bead Simple are up on my book website if you’d like to check them out! I filmed one for making Solo Earrings (or any other simple bead embellishment like a pendant or bracelet dangle) and one for wire looping the Vintagesque Necklace (on the…

I’ve been kind of swamped with tying up loose ends for work, so haven’t had a chance to post much over here this week — still no baby, but I’ll announce whenever there is exciting news! I also have high hopes of posting this little craft-room-organizing tutorial I’ve been meandering around with but haven’t finished…
I was so excited to get my copy of CRAFT: 07, which is out this week… along with tons of great crafty tutorials and features, they were kind enough to spotlight my Cute as a Button Bracelet as a Quick Craft in the new issue! Arwen O’Reilly also wrote a super nice review of Bead…
I just got the heads up that Lee is teaching an excellent knitting class at Twisted — her short-rows wavy hat project! It’s so cute (I have seen it in person and can attest to this wholeheartedly) and perfect for Northwest spring — she says that it knits up really nicely in cotton as well…
Sorry for the short notice but if you haven’t heard, today’s the last day of Jennifer‘s Administrative Professionals Week sale, and she’s even sweetened the deal: You need to shake a tail feather if you want to take advantage of our super duper, holy macramé are you serious, secretaries day sale going on at Naughty…
No baby yet, and I’m still chipping away at a tall stack of work that has been keeping me from posting (almost done, thank goodness), but I wanted to quickly mention that my lovely friends Jenn and Karina are offering up a copy of Bead Simple this week over at their fantastic blog, Tiny Choices!…
I am slammed this week with some quick-turnaround work stuff and need to take a couple of days off from writing for fun, but wanted to quickly pass on this cool thing I saw at not martha: Interweave has put together a free pattern book of the top five knitting patterns that Knitting Daily readers…
As Kayte and Tricia also mentioned today, it’s finally official that Adorn magazine is no more. I’m really sad about it — it was one of my favorite magazines to write for, not to mention to read! I wish things had gone differently with it, but I feel so lucky that I got to contribute…
