Wednesday Wisdom … Meet the Crafty Chica

Every Wednesday I am going to feature a friend of mine … some in the industry and some not. I want each of you to know those women who have such an influence on my life … both in business and personally.

I LOVE this job more than words can adequately explain and the reason why is because of these women that I call “friend”. What an honor it is for me to share who they are and what they have accomplished with all of you.

Let me introduce you to Kathy Cano-Murillo, The Crafty Chica. Or re-introduce you … You may already know her … but if you don’t, this is your time to meet one of the most extra ordinary women I know.

Kathy and I have not been friends for long. We really “met” for the first time in Arizona only about 8 moths ago. I, of course, have said hi to her at CHA and know of her books and her accomplishments, but I couldn’t say that we “knew” each other. Kathy agreed to be part of The Creative Connection Event in September and then the two of us were at the Southern Women’s Show last weekend where Kathy agreed to teach craft make n’ takes to hundreds of women. She is simply delightful and such an inspiration.

During her class while the women were working, Kathy read excerpts from her book. You MUST read her books: Miss Scarlets’s School of Patternless Sewing and Waking Up in the Land of Glitter. You owe it to yourself … both are a wonderful read!

 

I am such a huge fan of Kathy’s … and introducing you to her is an honor and a pleasure. ENJOY!

Much love, Jo

Fabulous Friday … The Creative Connection Event!

THE CREATIVE CONNECTION … it was an event that was created for women to share their knowledge, their skills, their perceptions and sensibilities, their accomplishments, and yes, even some of their secrets. What actually  happened was an “experience” where women gave to each other “everything” they had to give. 

At the Crowne Plaza in St. Paul, September 15-17, 2011,  the women who came created a “shelter in the storm” where dreams were confessed, hopes were repeated out loud, problems and setbacks were worn as a badge of courage, knowledge and experience were given freely, and confidence was entrusted to all of us, by each of us, without hesitation and with elegance, polish, and sincerity. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being such an important part of my dream and proving that anything is possible … we simply need to believe in ourselves, in each other, and quiet those on the outside who profess their skepticism, hesitation, and distrust. 

If I had but one wish for each of you (besides a Marcus Leaver in your life), it would be that you receive what you so freely give.

Much love always
Jo
