  • Best Fabric Paints, Dyes, and Surface Design Supplies: At my craft website, I am currently working on revamping and expanding my surface design, fabric painting, and dyeing content coverage. I am posting product reviews of fabric paints, dyes, and fabric markers; fabric painting craft project ideas; and step-by-step project tutorials for hand dyeing and hand painting clothing, accessories, and fabrics. I’m specifically interested in reviewing new fabric paints, fabric dyes, fabric markers, and related supplies in this niche. I’m also open to reviewing books, classes, or other educational resources in this niche.


  • DIY Fashion Photo Shoots: I design crochet projects like jewelry, scarves, cowls, hats, and fingerless gloves. I release most of my crochet patterns for free, but I do also contributed craft projects to books and magazines when appealing opportunities arise. When shooting project photos, I have an ongoing need for up-to-date clothing that looks amazing and shows off the crochet work to its best advantage. I would be interested in collaborating with DIY fashion designers and fashion brands so we can cross-promote each other’s work. This would be an especially good fit for sewing pattern designers, but I would also be open to collaborating with ready-to-wear fashion brands who like my aesthetic.


  • Mother’s Day Crafts: I am working on updating Mother’s Day content across my network of websites. If you’d like to collaborate with me on Mother’s Day content, this is the time to do it; please get in touch with me ASAP.


  • Christmas 2024 Craft Books, Gift Ideas, and Christmas Projects: I typically work on Christmas content each year in the summer months, and I aim to have Christmas content all ready and scheduled by October 31st each year. However, the past couple of years, I had higher priority brand collaborations and content writing projects come up during the summer months. As a result, when the holiday season was upon us, I ended up not having enough Christmas content to post for my website readers at my own websites. So this year, I’m trying something a little different: Getting an even earlier start.


    At my craft website, I’m updating and improving my Christmas gift guides and all my Christmas craft content. Please feel free to get in touch if you’d like me to consider reviewing your Christmas craft pattern book or other relevant Christmas-themed craft supplies that would be of interest to crafters during 2024’s holiday season.

Other Ways You Could Work With Me

  • Copywriting, Email Marketing, Ghostwriting, Content Marketing, and Search Engine Optimization: If you’re hoping to attract new leads and sales to your website via organic search, I can help you with that. Consider hiring me to write enticing articles, product descriptions, website copy, email newsletters, blog posts, or other copy that will delight your website’s visitors and generate increased awareness, interest, and sales for your business.

    I do a significant amount of content marketing and search engine optimization for clients in the education, career, healthcare, tech, and business sectors. Because I brand myself as a textile designer, world traveler, sailor and outdoor sports enthusiast, I typically prefer to ghostwrite in most verticals that do not relate to textile design, fashion, home furnishings, handcrafts, sailing, outdoor sports, or travel in some way.
