I have been a fan of Abby Glassenberg for a long time and not just because she has had me as a guest on her podcast – While She Naps.  She is a small business specialist, pattern designer for companies like Simplicity, author, Harvard graduate and half of the Craft Industry Alliance.  

Nicole Snow is not your typical crafty business owner.  Where some people are happy to make a little extra spending money with their side hustle her company Darn Good Yarn brought in over 7million dollars last year.  Besides being named one of Inc Magazine’s top 5,000 fastest growing companies for the 2nd year in a row Nicole and her Darn Good Yarn also have an amazing mission statement to start at love.

The Crafty Lumberjacks AKA Dennis and Andrew had no idea when they met on a traveling production of Fiddler on the Roof that they would fall in love or find themselves teaching crafts on shows like Rachel Ray and The Chew.

My admiration for Kathy Cano-Murillo goes back a LONG time.  When I was in the Naughty Secretary Club and she was still The Crafty Chica our glittered covered paths crossed ways online and in person at events like CHA and The Renegade Craft Fair.  

There is a lot that goes in to running a creative business no matter how big or small.  Some episodes I chat with Etsy store owners other days I get to talk with people who have important sounding titles like Director of Marketing and Creative at Kid Made Modern.

What happens when a creative husband and wife power couple combine their two passions of sewing and tacos? Amazing things obviously like the Sew Taco Podcast. Listen in to this episode of the Creative Queso Podcast where I chat with my new friends Eleana and Gerald Flores.
