We've long been a fan of Kelly's blog, Make Grow Gather, where she showcases many of her great craft projects already. In Weekend Handmade, Kelly encourages readers to celebrate the joy of crafting, both for the satisfaction of making something by hand, and because the finished items serve as reminders of time taken to slow down and create - no matter the day of the week. Check out the beautiful trailer for her book. And stay tuned - we'll have more on Kelly and her book here soon!
