Craft Inc. aka best book ever for independents

so tomorrow i receive my copy of Craft Inc. Turn Your Creative Hobby into a Business in the mail (i know it's in stores- long story) and i'm so excited! i sneaked a peek of it at powells, and it looks so great- there are interviews with great small business owners (most of which seem to be women... including mav of port2port press!) and great facts from the lovely mateo ilasco. she definantly knows her stuff and has been successful in many ventures, so be sure that she knows what shes talking about! it covers business licensing to cost and markups, etc. very useful!

i can't get away from lotta

so today i got my new issue of Craft: magazine in the mail (i was so excited) and guess who they featured? Lotta Jansdotter of course! I keep finding her featured in publications and i can't stop obsessing over her (and she's so darn cute!). i got hooked on the ideas of screenprinting and sewing because of her. thanks lotta! keep it up- i love it all.

p.s. if you guys don't get craft magazine yet, get it! it's totally worth it- not only for inspirations, but for patterns, etc. for projects. share a subscription of it with your friends. mine is avaliable for loan to my art group- anyone up for it?
