\"Awards<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I feel my head swelling as I write this!<\/p>\n

I am so honored to have been named a winner of the Academy of Handmade<\/a> awards<\/a>– category, Textiles: Wovens. When I received an email telling me that I had been nominated, I was completely surprised and I really didn’t know anything about the organization- Academy Of Handmade. (Here<\/a> is a list of all the 2016 nominees.) Luckily, when I was out in LA at Craftcation, I met people who are involved with it and I think I have a better idea now.<\/p>\n

It is an online and in-person support group for micro handmade businesses like mine. You have to apply to be a member, there is a membership fee, and it is mostly West Coast based at this point. It seems to be a formalized version of my Crafty Biz meet-up. (Their faq page<\/a>.) I would guess that it is incredibly helpful to people who are near an in-person chapter. I get so much from my monthly meeting up with people who are doing a similar maker biz thing.<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, Merriweather Council<\/a>, my friend and former Crafty Biz meet-up fellow (we miss you since you moved Danielle!) was a winner too! She also won the award for Handmade Community Superstar which she totally deserves!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
