I really love my newest book . It is  British textile designer Karen Nicol’s  very unique collection of objects, swatches, trimmings that – directly or indirectly – inspire her beautiful textile designs. They are personal, and unusual and show various techniques such as ‘tufts’ ‘fagotting’ ‘pleats’ and more. And though this book isn’t a ‘how to’ book, it …

I really don’t like the month of April. After a long (and I mean l o n g this year ) winter, you always think it’ll finally be Spring, and sure enough it still is grey, rainy and chilly. So this year, I’m ignoring the rain with these fun things I found. This already makes …

We are excited to announce a new baby-themed bundle on the CraftStudio app for iPad, called “Bundle of Joy.” It’s great for making cards and invitations for baby showers, birth announcements, etc. It comes with a ton of sweet sticker, wallpaper and photo border options for both baby boy and girl.

Today’s guest post comes from Rory Evans, freelance writer (and extraordinary crafter!) for Martha Stewart Living: For Christmas, my husband got our 3-year-old daughter the DVD of “My Neighbor Totoro” the 1988 anime film by Miyazaki, the animator who’s often likened to “Japan’s Walt Disney.” (And, sure enough, in the U.S. Disney distributes Miyazaki’s Studio …

Flu season is upon us! Without sounding too macabre, the flu is a bigger problem than ever this year.
