I admit it. I have joined the ranks of Pinterest addicts. I'm not considering that a bad thing, however, given the folders full of great ideas I'm accumulating--combined with the fact that (ohmygosh) I'm actually following up on those ideas! Most of the Pinterest jokes (which you can find as pinnable items on Pinterest itself) … Continue reading Practicing Craft

Expedition Journal #1: Prospecting on Pinterest
When I wrote last week about growing a readership online, the one element I mentioned which I admittedly haven't been cultivating is the use of social networking.

Notice anything goofy about it? I'll give you a hint: if the lighting were better, everything in that closet would show up in some … Continue reading A Signature Quirk
