::CraftyChica® - Kathy Cano-Murillo::

"Kathy Cano Murillo strikes us as one of those people who, stranded on a desert island with nothing but a volleyball, a deck of playing cards and some coconuts, would not only craft a rescue vehicle and distress signal but whip up a spiffy castaway-themed wardrobe to wear as she did so. And she would be having a great time. And so would you. Visit the Arizona Republic contributor's site to get the craft fever yourself."

Chica Fabric Collage

I've been on a fiber marathon lately - sewing like a Project Runway finalist. I'm still using the cheap $99 machine Patrick bought me five years ago for Christmas. I can't believe it still works! This is a panel I made from scrap fabric. I love purple. When I was a kid I always wanted purple hair, but my mum wouldn't let me. It wasn't until after I finished this that I remembered that. If you have scrap fabric, make a self-portrait collage. It's really fun and revealing!

I'm a mommy, wifey, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter Sagittarian. I love chocolate, coffee, and I collect Chihuahua stuff (we have 4 live ones). I have a new product line! I write a syndicated craft column for The Arizona Republic. My 7th craft book comes out next year, as well as my first novel. I make a line of Chicano Pop Art with my hubby and we have sold it all over the country since 1990. Doing my best to live in the moment and savor it all!
