And another thing


You know Rebecca Sower. I've been a fan of her for years (Nostalgique ring a bell? Those wonderful products she designed were and still are part of my supplies). Rebecca, as I mentioned earlier, has a special connection to Haiti. Anyway, I just wanted to alert you to her new Haitian Artisan Blog. I love what she has been and is doing in Haiti and especially that it's an arts & crafts venture as well. It reminds me of the saying:  to paraphrase it, Give a person a fish and you feed them; give them a fishing rod and you give them a way to make a living. There is a Haiti by Hand shop and yours truly is honored to be a part of it.

I want to pass on Rebecca's thoughts, because I agree with her: I just hope we aren't growing weary of hearing about it all and getting back to life as usual. That is what worries me.


Love, Colette

    Hi Colette, thanks so much for sharing the craft links for Haiti! This is my first time visiting your blog and really enjoyed the posts! I also very much enjoyed the cover project that you made for the Somerset Life magazine (Jan/Feb/March 2010 issue). Can you recommend an alphabet stamp set, an especially can you share what type of ink pad for the stamps that I should use to be able to stamp on fabric? I know you are super busy, but if you get the chance to reply, I would really appreciate it!

    Kathy: thanks so much! I'm never too busy to reply :)

    I use StazOn ink pads for stamping on fabric (make sure you saturate your rubber stamp and press hard. As for alphabet stamps, I like fairly plain ones. I got mine years ago from stampdiva.com.
