Craft humor

by | Mar 19, 2009 | | 2 Comments

Here’s a bit of craft humor that I ran across on Modish to brighten your day. (Beware of being blinded by the golden pants!) I think I’ve finally figured out why I get the looks I do and the totally unrelated questions when I tell people I make craft…

Modish is worth checking out as well, it’s a nice design blog. They’ve also have a section call Modish Biz Tips that deals with all things self employed/small business related. Check out the recent post with the lovely and talented Karin Eriksson of Karin’s Style Blog.
