Sew Thankful

We leave tomorrow for Chicago, where we will spend Thanksgiving with my family and as I prepare for the trip, I can't help but reflect on the things in my life that I am thankful for; my wonderful husband, supportive family, colorful community, comfy home and fulfilling career. I feel incredibly blessed that I get to write about things like crafting, simple living, and creativity. Take my latest article for example...I had the pleasure of interviewing four AMAZING women, Amanda Blake Soule, Maya Donenfeld, Tif Fussell and Michele Simeon, for a SewHip! article entitled Simple Living, Handmade Touches.

I mean come on...I get to sit in my pajamas, in the comfort of my home and talk with a few of the most inspirational crafters on the planet...pinch me!

I don't normally do this, but I know this magazine is very hard to find in the States... so I will post images of the article here for your enjoyment (if you click on the images, they should enlarge so that you can read it). If you have the chance, definitely pick yourself up a copy. This issue has some great patterns and a fabulous interview with all-star quilter Denyse Schmidt. Not to mention the fact that it is so important to support high-quality craft magazines right now since business is not exactly booming in the magazine industry.
