Incidental Writer!

When I first heard that Timothy Adam’s brand new baby, -handmade spark-, was looking for writers, I jump on the opportunity! I just thought that it would so fabulous to write a Five Minutes Spark Interview with some of the people behind Handmade Blogs/Shops/Web Sites about what they do and why they do it …

Since, I am having an absolute ball traveling to handmade blogs and discovering up coming weekly interviewees but I though as well to ask you wonderful readers! If you know of a wonderful Handmade Blog or Artist/Artisan that you feel should be feature, please drop me a comment and I will scout it out!
