As promised here is more information on Craft Congress. I thought it would be easiest to send out the information in small bites, as there is so much that occurred that it could be overwhelming. So, here we go!

One of the first questions people have asked is, “What was Craft Congress”. Well, we have an article up on the main site that explains it, but I thought it might help if you saw what the sessions were and who was presenting them.

Here you are:

Session Name | Facilitator

What Are We? | Marie Kare/ Home of the Sampler & Sherry Huss/CRAFT magazine, Maker Faire, O’Reilly Media

Here’s wishing everyone a happy holiday and a wonderful spring! We’re spending the day at home creating eggs in bright colors with colored beeswax patterns. The ham is in the oven and everyone passing the time until its done by pigging out on baskets full of candy.

How are you spending the holiday weekend? Do you make any type of special eggs during this time of year?
