    Great Second episode, ladies! The community in Saint Louis is pretty rad, and I personally love the community building aspects of events like Crafternoon or the Seed Swap. Am I allowed to plug events in the comments? I mean, you did mention the Crafternoon at Fusion (Chesterfield mall, second floor, by Sears) so really, it’s a small leap to say that the next time we’ll be meeting to craft, chew the fat, and see what we’re all up to is on Wednesday July 25th at 6:00. Ha-ha-ha!
    It seems like the biggest comment I get when talking to people about coming is that they need special equipment that’s too big/heavy/expensive to do their craft. Mostly, the event is about community, so a lot of us bring things that need labeling, or small handwork touches…that kind of stuff. Usually I work out ideas in my sketchbook and bring things to get opinions on, since usually I only talk to a 4-year-old, and her opinion is…suspect. :)
    Great job, and I look forward to hearing the interview with Autumn!

    You are TOTALLY allowed to plug in the comments. Crafternoons at Fusion are fab. :) Thanks for listening!
