When @textile_collections_ invited us to peruse th When @textile_collections_ invited us to peruse their downtown LA warehouse and choose fabric for the @craftcationconference sewing workshops, I hopped on the train and spent the afternoon oohing, ahhing, and treasure-hunting with @leannicorn. The best part? Watching our attendees transform those 100% cotton quilting fabric gems—straight from top designers and manufacturers—into clothing, accessories, and so much more. Thank you @textile_collections_ for inspiring and supporting our community! #Crafter #fabrichaul #makersofinstagram #craftersofinstagram #smallbusinesssupport
If you were at @craftcationconference, chances are If you were at @craftcationconference, chances are you made a charm bracelet at the @getpopstore booth. #ad But Pop.Store isn’t just about charm links—it’s about turning your link in bio into a one-stop hub for everything you do: products, downloads, courses, subscriptions, and more. That’s why I’m hosting a FREE six-week hands-on workshop series to help you make the most of your Pop link. Each week, we’ll focus on setting up a different feature—think of it like building your own mini website, one piece at a time. 🗓️ Mondays at 12pm PT, starting June 2 📍 Join one, some, or all. Replays available. ✨ Perfect if you want to sell more, grow your list, or finally feel confident saying “link in bio.” 💬 Comment LINKWORKSHOP and I’ll DM you the signup to save your spot! #smallbusinessowner #linkinbio #automation #ecommerce
There was a time when staying home on a Saturday n There was a time when staying home on a Saturday night felt like missing out. I used to love going out, being around people, and wild adventures. Somewhere along the way, that shifted. These days, my favorite place to be is at home—with my people, good snacks, something creative to work on, and space to just be. If that sounds like your kind of night too, you’d probably feel right at home at Craftcation—my creative conference for makers, artists, and small business owners. It’s a space full of inspiration, connection, and support—without the overwhelm. Honestly, it’s one of the only places (besides home and the beach) that I long to be. ✨ Want to learn more? Comment CRAFTY and I’ll DM you the details.

And if you’re craving more space for that kind of creative freedom—mark your calendar. 🗓 April 8–12, 2026 📍 Ventura, CA Craftcation is where the joy of making meets community, growth, and a whole lot of creative magic. ✨ #creativeprocess #creative #makeamark
