You ARE a crafty chica! I hadn’t realized how the sewing scenes in movies stick with you if you sew — I should make an “herbal healing” scenes in movies quiz for my blog!
(with credit to you OF COURSE!)
Hi Kathy! 🙂
You are the authority for crafting in Phoenix- any insight on the best arts an craft shows in the area? I know the Tempe ones, but I can’t find any folk art fests or indie craft fairs in the area. Am I blind?
Thanks so much! 🙂

P.S. Congrats on all your recent success! 🙂
