  1. Hey, thanks for tweeting about this. It's tubular.

    Last night, I listened to the Craftypod podcast with you from last Oct. I had just bought your book right before that and thought it was groovy. I think I blogged about it, but I will have to check. Anyway, I was miles from Twitter when this podcast came out, and didn't know what you were talking about. But the interview was great in terms of getting a marketing sensibility and learning specific reasons for doing one thing or another.

    just sayin. rock on.

    hey, the word verification is maties. i don't know why, but i like it.

  3. Thanks for all the great links. I thought about the Naughty Secretary today when I found little bags of kitschy little teeny tiny loaves of bread at the thrift store. I couldn't imagine myself wearing them ... so I let them go :)

  4. Hey chris glad you enjoyed the podcast. I did a similar one for vickie howells craft rock listen podcast called bringing home the crafty bacon that you might enjoy.

    Next time you see mini loaves of bread at the store you must pick them up! Mail them to me if nothing else :) I can't leave things like that it might be several years later before I use it, but when the urge to craft with mini bread strikes you need to be prepared!
