Out with the old, in with the new craft…
Tuesday, January 3, 2012 13:35As 2011 came to a close, Hello Craft had a lot of awesome crafts, new friends and events to reminisce over. 2011 was one of Hello Craft’s busiest years, not only for our organization, but for the ever-evolving handmade community that continues to lead the way in creative innovation, as well as an economic powerhouse.
Between the Summit of Awesome, Crafty Bastards and partnerships with innovative projects and new creative-minded companies, there was never a dull moment with Hello Craft. And while we are already gearing up for a fun and crafty 2012, we wanted to take a step back in time to check out all the fun happenings that made up 2011…
