Get Yo' Craft On!

Don't miss the Oceanside Craft Mafia's CraftTopia this Saturday, May 16th from 3-7 pm. It is a great way to support handmade and your local economy. Shop for yourself or pick up some gifts for those birthdays that just keep coming! Either way, you'll walk away with one-of-a-kind doo-dads you won't find anywhere else. See you at Jitter's on Saturday! 510 North Coast Hwy, Oceanside, CA 92054

Book Fiend with a Craft Habit

Why is it, when you go to the local book super-store, they have books on craft, but it's crappy craft? I've always known there are great books on craft out there, but they always seem to elude me. Jennifer Perkins, of our sister chapter the Austin Craft Mafia, has been highlighting great books of craft on her blog. Most importantly, these books are of an entrepreneurial spirit and help the artist in us craft our business skills. You already know how a blow torch and jewelers' saw works, and now you will know how to market the products you make with those handy skills.

To get a quick overview of the books check out Jennifer's blog:

Thanks for keeping us inspired Jennifer!
