Ok, so it was a Making Saturday, not a Making Friday, but I think the exoticness of my location will excuse the shift in days. I did my making this week at a place I’ve often read about: the Brooklyn studio of Lena Corwin! She runs monthly workshops in her pretty studio, and so I …

PayPal at last!
I’m practically hyperventilating with relief at the fact that I can finally, FINALLY use PayPal to receive payments in my Etsy shop. To all those dear shoppers who indulged my somewhat cumbersome and lengthy payment process in the past, my heartfelt thanks to you. I was always nervous that shoppers would be frightened off by …
