Hello again, world. I’d almost forgotten how beautiful you can be…

First trip since the before times. So much has changed and so much hasn’t.

But love and inspiration are still out there, and I was lucky enough to soak up a megadose of both last night courtesy of emceed by and it was an incredibly welcomed breath of fresh air. (Even through a mask.) ❤️

Surprise super bonus: was in the cast! 🤯💖😍 And 🐈‍⬛ Kitty Calhoun’s mama, Nina, was my seat neighbor and we had a ball together!

You may (or may not) be surprised to learn that creating charted cross-stitch patterns in Illustrator is easier, faster, and more flexible than working in dedicated embroidery software.

In-person conferences, here we come!

CreativePro Week is one of my fave industry events not only because the speakers and agenda are the best of the best, but also because the community is so inviting—great for insightful conversations, skill building, and of course, new friends.

This year, I have the honor of presenting three sessions: beginner overviews for InDesign and Illustrator and fancy list-making in InDesign. (Ooh-la-la!)

If you use InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, or PowerPoint, don't miss this amazing HOW-TO event featuring five jam-packed days! (Also streaming live online if you can't make it in person!) Save $100 with the code CPWJOINUS at creativeproweek.com.

I've been a fan of for years, so you can imagine my surprise when I received a personal email from them inviting me to be part of the new Academy they just launched.

Wanting to create a crochet course specifically for beginners, I designed this super fun Fiesta Fringe bag so new hookers can learn new skills and walk away with something that's as functional as it is fun.

Grab some yarn, your favorite cozy beverage, and let's hook it up! 🧶
