We figure introductions might be in order --

There are the two of us here, and I'm J. (Nice to meet you.) Me and my cohort, Katie, both graduated from art school and married our respective husbands last year -- a giant shift in life that I am still trying to figure out.  Ultimately "the plan" is to move our two families together onto a farm. (a plan met with much enthusiasm by all.) To prepare, Katie and I try to learn how to make things -- lots of things.  I will try any kind of craft I come upon and Katie is usually game as well.  I would like to keep track of our crafty endeavors, for posterity and reference, and figured this was as good a way as any since we live 175 miles apart.

Hello, I'm Katie. I'm the one of us who tends to push for the fine arts that I know we can achieve, as well as the home crafts. As J said, we are into almost every kind of crafting and home arts, as well as fine art projects. We are printmakers by trade in the fine arts world but we are also avid crocheters and seamstresses (of sorts) whenever we get free time. We are not only into traditional fabric crafts, but I've recently decided to take up canning. J and I both have a vintage obsession and I think that's why our crafty obsession has lead us to start this blog. We don't traditionally shy away from any project and I have a tendency to say “Oh, I can do that” with regards to almost everything I see.

I for one hope that with this blog we will learn from our mistakes, chronicle our achievements, and maybe inspire a few crafty hopefuls out there.
