nyt says craft is cool

The New York Times has made made an announcement. Craft is cool. Check out this article highlighting some of our favorite craft pioneers like Debbie Stoller and the folks at Etsy. Obviously, we're way ahead of the NYT, and the fancy designers officially making crafts fashionable. But I always like to see what the big dogs are making a fuss about. And it's nice to see some of the people we support getting such attention. So check it out.

Cool to see FP on the July cover of AP -- how very random! Good to see a stylist's magic working.
