*When discussing a 1900s fashion book, I misspoke and said 18th Century when I meant 20th.

Carrie discusses the direction she wants to take the podcast, background about how and why she started crafting, and a current project.

Note: I said I have a grandma who cross stitches, and while that may be true, I meant crochet. Also, I did find the date of the Weldon’s mag. It’s from 1889.
