#24 Gift Ideas for Crafters

The Craft Room Podcast ·

2020/03/31

Last month The Craft Room Podcast had it’s first birthday, and I had my … something-th birthday, and that started me thinking about how tricky it can be to buy for crafters sometimes. Then the Coronavirus became a pandemic, and I’ve found myself sending cards and little gifts to people to brighten their day (and perhaps I bought myself some little gifts as well). During that time we had a blackout, and whilst looking for a book to read, I came across a rather old book called The Five Love Languages

2020/02/15

In January 2020 I attended Creativation ... a craft trade show in Phoenix, AZ, USA. I have wanted to attend this show for over a decade, and the 33 hour travel time was 100% worth it. In todays episode I'm answering the questions people asked me before, during and after the show, sharing my take-aways and some behind the scenes stories. You can find a full transcript of todays episode and a whole lot of photos on my blog. LINKS Ep 23 Blog post Jess Francisco - Instagram The Perfect Stamp, UK -

#22 Crafting in Times of Crisis

The Craft Room Podcast ·

2019/12/23

Before we get into todays episode, a quick content warning. I will be mentioning Australian bushfires, animal rescue carers and people who have passed away, including angel babies. It’s not a graphic discussion, it’s more part of the narrative about how we can help people in distressing situations. If these are sensitive topics for you, please take care of yourself when listening. Today we are talking about crafting in times of crisis. We crafters are really good at this … we’ve done it so many

#21 Craft Retreats

The Craft Room Podcast ·

2019/12/02

I went on a craft retreat with my friend Marni a couple of months ago. It got me thinking about all the amazing retreats I have been on, ones I would like to go on and the differences between them. Craft retreats come with different durations, different price points, different levels of structure and different kinds of accommodation. You can expect a different experience from different types of retreats. So I thought we could have a chat about them. 1. Day tripping 2. Cheap and cheerful 3. Mid-range

#17 Craft Swaps

The Craft Room Podcast ·

2019/09/10

Today we are talking about craft swaps, which have actually been around for a long time. I've been personally doing them for probably 15-16 years. Today I thought we would talk about what a craft swap is, different styles and types of swaps that you can join, what you can do to be a great swap participant or swap host. I'm also going to talk about a few of the pros and cons because when you join a craft swap, there are some things that you need to be aware of. You can find a link to the full

2019/08/14

Today I want to talk mostly about … what is scrapbooking? … how I got into scrapbooking … and the different types of scrapbooking. Because as much as I wanted this to be a ‘here are the top 10 things you need to start scrapbooking’ type of episode, there are different styles and forms of scrapbooking, and you need different things for each type. So … I AM going to give you my top list of needs, but we will also talk about the wants, because that's the fun stuff, right. I'm also going to talk about

The Craft Room Podcast ·

2019/06/11

Hello … welcome to The Craft Room Podcast, and if this is your first time listening, a special welcome to you. A few weeks ago I attended The Artful Business Conference in Adelaide here in Australia. I love this conference … it is for people with creative businesses, and at any given time you can be sitting next to a writer, a jewellery maker, a yoga instructor, an accountant, a business coach, a graphic designer, a bridal accessory designer, a virtual assistant … it’s just amazing!

Hello … welcome to The Craft Room where we are going to be talking about some clever craft storage solutions. In Episode 11 we talked about crafting in a small space, and we did discuss craft storage ideas. There is no denying that in order to work efficiently in a small space, you need to have some clever storage solutions. But there was so much more I wanted to tell you, so this episode is kind of a sequel. For starters, did you know that I have a craft storage Pinterest Board with over 900

#11 - Crafting in a Small Space

The Craft Room Podcast ·

2019/05/13

I thought today we could tackle the subject matter that is also the name of this podcast … the craft room. More specifically … small crafting spaces. Because, let’s be honest, as much as would all probably love one of those Pinterest worth, fully decked out and coordinated craft rooms, the reality for most of us is that we have a relatively small space to dedicate to craft. Unless you have a spare bedroom, home office or rumpus room going unused, chances are that you craft at a desk tucked into

#10 Leveling Up Your Papercrafting

The Craft Room Podcast ·

2019/05/04

Today I’ve been thinking about one of the most common questions I see in Facebook cardmaking groups … “I’m new to cardmaking, what should I buy?”. The answers always intrigue me. Everyone is so passionate about what they think is the best tool or most useful thing to have, and I really love seeing everyone being so helpful to those who are new to the craft. However, while the answers come from a place of pure enthusiasm, they’re not always going to be what the person who has asked the question

#9 Execution vs Expectation, 'The Gap'

The Craft Room Podcast ·

2019/04/26

As you may have guessed by the title, today we’re going to chat about those frustrating early days of crafting. Whenever we pick up a new craft, or pursue any new creative endeavour, there is inevitably frustration because you have a firm idea in your head about what you want your finished piece to look like, but it’s just not up to your ideal standard straight away. I honestly don’t know a single creative person who hasn’t been through this exact scenario … and I’ll start with a little story.

#8 Crafting for Good Health

The Craft Room Podcast ·

2019/04/18

Today let’s talk about how craft can be good for your health. I mean ... it offers us so much … physically, emotionally, socially and phsychologically. I put out a call to my Facebook page for some stories about how crafting is helpful, and was not disappointed by the response. Some stories are my own, some are other people’s but it’s heartening to see how many people use craft for both physical and mental health benefits. Links

Welcome to The Craft Room. Today let's talk about the thing that everyeone seems to be talking about ... decluttering. it really does feel like everybody is talking about declulttering at the moment (minimalism would be a close second), so let's go there today, specifically in relation to craft stuff.
