2 weeks ago by craftsanity I love how my creative work always circles back around to projects I absolutely love. Soon, I will be loading up a vintage suitcase with little bits of inspiring fabrics and paper hexagons to share with students at this semester’s finals relaxer. I’ll be teaching an English paper piecing workshop at the college where I spend most of my time teaching journalism. This will be a refreshing change of pace that I’m really looking forward to. I’ll be putting my good crocs on for this one. : ) #craftsanityworkshops #epp #englishpaperpiecing #hexies #hexagons #handstitched #slowstitching #finalsrelaxer @grandrapidscc #grcc #craftsanity #relax

Any new beast sander recommendations? I’ve tried just about every brand. Sigh. #sander #bustedsander #craftsanitylooms #tools #bustedtools #rigidtools

4 days ago by craftsanity Just spent many, many hours sanding and prepping 96 CraftSanity Bracelet Looms. Now I’m moving on to the mini tapestry looms. This is the very unglamorous, grunt work of being a handmade businesswoman. I will never be too good for this labor and I respect all my fellow makers out there who willingly roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty to do the work that must be done in order to achieve their goals. Cheers to all of us out there doing the work. #craftsanitylooms #looms #weavingloom #weaving #handmadebusiness #mibiz #handmadeinmichigan
