A Very Important Benefit



Many of you may have already heard... one of our fellow mafiosas, the founder of the San Antonio Craft Mafia, Katherine Brown, is fighting glioblastoma, in layman's speak that's stage 4 brain cancer. The San Antonio group has been touched deeply by her illness and are holding a benefit for Kat and her children. Please help in any way you can. Have friends in San Antonio? Please tell them about the the event. Have a blog? Feel free to repost.

For more information about Kat and her illness you can read articles in the San Antonio Express News and The Handmade News.

SF Craft Mafia Meets Glasgow Craft Mafia!

from left: Jessica, Jo, Barbe

A couple of weeks ago, I and Jessica were fortunate enough to meet up with a Craft Mafia sister from "across the pond".

Jo is from the Glasgow Craft Mafia. She & I had become email pals when their chapter started and we exchanged links. She told me she was coming to San Francisco on holiday and we planned to get together. Gifts were exchanged, Thai food was eaten and fun was had by all. It was great to talk with her about how the Glasgow chapter got started, and learn about how the craft/DIY scene is growing in Scotland. I hope to visit Jo and the rest of the Glasgow Craft Mafia someday!
