I obviously loves me some Sandi Genovese or else I wouldn’t have named a color after her for my Craft line of yarn. I respect her as an artist, TV host and business woman. I just wanted to share with you though, how thoughtful she is as a friend as well. Most of the crafty people I know (often, me included) have given up paying attention to the personal touches in gift giving, especially when it comes to our loved ones. Ironic, I know, but there’s only so much time in the day. Sandi however, remains faithful to her craft in all aspects of her life. I feel honored to reap the benefits of her generosity of spirit.
Yesterday, Dave and I received a wonderful wedding gift from her in the mail which included this handmade card from her line….
and the COOLEST, eco-friendly platter, made from international newspapers (adorned with lemons from her backyard).
We just love it–and I was so touched that she remembered us. I can’t believe we’re only 2 months away from our 1 year wedding anniversary! Crazy.
So to recap: Handmade cards=sweet! Eco-platters=awesome. Thoughtful crafters=kick ass.

The Forager wrist warmers by @hellogavriella (and featured in the YarnYAY! October Box) might be my favorite crocheted mitt pattern we've ever included in one of our monthly boxes. The wool/alpaca blend of @thefibrecompany &Make Aran yarn is the perfect medium for textured linen stitches. Oh, and the peek-a-boo detailing at the top-edges, is *chef's kiss"!
