We’ve long coveted the unique and somewhat hidden shop Metalliferous – located on 46th street between fifth and sixth avenues in Manhattan. I love that you have to walk into a bit of a dingy looking building, climb a few flights of stairs (all the while convinced you’re lost) before you finally arrive at the …

If you caught Blake and Marcie on the Crafting Hour radio show on Sirius XM 110 yesterday, you probably heard them talking about our favorite tools. That said, I thought it appropriate to do a round up of some of our favorite projects in which a Martha Stewart Craft Tool is essential to its execution. …

My dear friend Goli recently got a sewing machine, so I thought it would be an appropriate birthday gift to put together a special sewing box.
