I just saw the “Crafty B*tches” article in today’s Willamette Week and I’m so excited to be included along with dozens of other Portland crafters! Beth Slovic was kind enough to highlight some of my projects like West Coast Crafty along with some of my all-time favorite things, including my collective PDX Super Crafty, Crafty Wonderland, Diane Gilleland’s craftypod blog and Church of Craft, Jessica Neuman Beck’s Cranky Pals, Amy Karol’s Bend-The-Rules Sewing, Handmade Nation, getcrafty.com, BUST, Etsy, and the Museum of Contemporary Craft.

The photo of me in my craft room is by Chris Ryan and includes lots of crafty essentials like a Gocco printer and sewing machine!

In susanstars news, I just picked up some new patterned fabrics for my skirt kits and I’m planning to debut those very soon… along with some brand-new jewelry-making kits too! And if you’re in Portland, please stop by the October 14 Crafty Wonderland sale — I’ll be teaching the free craft at the DIY Table. Hope to see you!
