Hello! I'm Stephanie.
For the past half-decade I've been make happy. I just can't get enough of crafting, talking about crafting or making places for crafting. And being crazy about making has made me very happy.
Shacked up with my hubby and two kitties in our too-tiny house, my favorite crafts involve paper and yarn though I'm no stranger to fabric and felt. I adore libraries (and not just because hubs works in one). We've got two vintage card catalogs and a rolling book cart in our ever-expanding collection of library furniture.
Sometimes I like to get out of the house, though, so it's a good thing that my best buds are also my biz partners in Handmade Detroit.

We spend 10 months of the year planning for this:
When I got married last year, it was super DIY, with my family and friends all pitching in to help decorate all librarian marries-paper girl style. Here's a photo:
I started this blog as a way to talk about craft and share some of the lessons I've learned from my involvement in the craft community. Inside you'll find posts about my own making process, what it's like to help run a craft fair and tips for running an indie business.
Thanks for reading!
Stephanie
