This is a place to state who you are, what you craft, and what kind of books you're looking to read and review!

I'm Joi, I run stereoette.com, and I love books on jewelry making, sewing, glass fusing, and craft business. I'm looking to review more of my fairly large collection of craft books and to learn more from other artists and crafters!

Kim Kruse (sassycrafter) | 1 comments I'm Kim and I write about crafting for our local alt-monthly The Satellite, blog about crafting via sassycrafter.blogspot.com, and sell a few of my crafty wares on Etsy.

I love craft books that focus on what I call crafty repurposing--turning old junk into cool new stuff for either you or your home. I've got many craft books that I need to revisit and now review on Goodreads. I'm also interested to hear from other crafty folk to see which good books might be missing from my shelves.

Caryn | 1 comments HI, I'm Caryn. I sell books for an academic publisher, but I'd rather sell craft, sewing, and decorating books! I sell handmade things on Etsy. I have a good collection of books on crafting, sewing, home decorating, and starting a business. So I want to read more of those, talk about them, share them. I'm starting to build my bookshelf but I hope to find the ones I like.

Alison (musegal) Hi,
I'm Ali and I make beaded and wire-wrapped jewelry. I've basically sold pieces via "word-of-mouth" and I collect books on beading and wire-work. I'm also interested in silver fusing.
