If your Etsy addiction is as bad as mine or you’ve ever attended a Stitch ‘n Bitch, you probably noticed that ladies tend to dominate the crafting world. However, Mathias Noble King and Brit Charek, the founders of a new Cleveland craft show, are here to change that. The first-ever Manly Mart,…

Today’s the last day of my twenties and I plan on spending it doing nothing except sitting by the water and maybe eating some fresh crabs. Hopefully, I’ll get the rest and relaxation I need because once we get home we’ll be busier than usual playing host to a few out-of-town family and friends throughout September. Thankfully, Julie is here today […]

Reminder: Each separate entry must be marked by a separate comment on the post. Good luck! *** Little known fact about me: When I was in grade school, I competed in a junior bowling league. Instead…
I don’t really consider myself very good at producing art. Sure, I enjoy sketching and painting, but my ability there is pretty limited. And if you get me near any sort of craft that demands a lot of physical dexterity, I’m often defeated by an innate clumsiness. Understanding how much talent and skill is…
