Since I published my first free calligraphy worksheet — the Amy style — I’ve been receiving a lot of questions about calligraphy via email. I love these emails and am always happy to hear from any and all of you because the questions show me what I’m glossing over, or what I should explain better!

You’ll have to forgive me for dropping the ball on posting this weekend; we have fallen victim to the Game of Thrones epidemic.

Why a tea bag holder? Because … why not? Tea bag holders are a fun way to send a little, cost-effective gift to a friend who likes tea. The problem with most tea bag holders {if you’ve ever seen one}, however, is they’re cutesy. You know I love crafts, but cutesy crafts aren’t my thing.
