CINCINNATI – June 15, 2009 – In honor of National Women’s Friendship Day (Sunday, September 20th), Read More
Full disclosure: For several years I worked in the craft industry. I designed projects for books, magazines and TV shows. I wrote a craft book, designed craft products/tools/kits and taped over 250 on-air demonstrations on Carol Duvall/HGTV
Parties, gifts, making memories together are just a few of the simple ways. But, with creative women out there, often we find alternative ways to recognize and remember the wonderful women in our life who we call our girlfriends. Read More
Amanda Hofman, NYC Urban Girl Squad
I love NYC. The energy, the crowded streets, the shopping, restaurants, theatre, Tasti D-Lite – LOVE IT. And I love it most when I have someone to share it with me. (Like my friend Patty who loves NYC as much as I do!)
AMANDA HOFMAN loves NYC too and she loves to explore her great town. Read More
Hey Girlfriend! That’s the name of my new column in “Today’s Creative Home Arts” club magazine. I’m very fortunate that the editorial team recognizes and believes in the power of ‘girlfriends’ because now I get to write for, and connect with, these creative subscribers.
Julie Stephani, the editor, is an author, TV personality and creative guru. You might remember her from a podcast we did together on the importance of being creative and crafting with your (primarily female) family and friends. Julie is well respected in the craft and hobby industry and is a very inspiring woman – and, yes!, she is a creative Shero of mine!
I was honored to be accepted into this world of women who are involved in a variety of crafts – home decorating, beading, sewing, painting, etc. They’re very versatile! I wanted to let you know about the Creative Home Arts Club too because you can get a free copy, join it and receive the magazine (and get the “Hey Girlfriend” articles!) or you can just join their online community and have access to so many creative women through their online Forum. Check it out!

Do your girlfriends inspire you? One might be a runner or walker, so you decide to do a half marathon. Another girlfriend may be a wonderful chef, which inspires you to try new recipes. Your knitting girlfriend teaches you and soon you’re a knitting girlfriend too! I love that about girlfriends. Together we have more fun, learn more and become more ‘ourselves’ through our female friends.
My girlfriend KATIE HACKER is inspiring. She has written more than 20 craft books including Hip to Bead, Katie’s Basics of Beading and 30-Minute Beading. She also presents Beading Lessons on the PBS show Beads, Baubles & Jewels, is a columnist for Simply Beads magazine and teaches workshops at national conventions like the Bead & Button Show. Although her specialty is beading, she does lots of other crafts as well and she has some great gift ideas for crafting with and for your girlfriends.
Listen to our NEW podcast for women with Katie and she’ll inspire you – to craft for and with your girlfriends, to make time for your friends, to connect with your girlfriends through the internet and just to be more comfortable with your own creativity!
Check out Katie’s blog for updates, creative ideas and her recent Ornament Round Robin (where creative women all made ornaments and share their ideas – the final one will happen this Thursday).
Do you have girlfriends who do inspire you? Please share with Girlfriendology in our December CONTEST - which asks for stories on girlfriends you’re thankful for. Please share. Spread the girlfriend gratitude! Honor your girlfriend by telling others how much she inspires you! (and win prizes in the Great Girlfriend Gift Giveaway!)
