Hello, and welcome to season 6, episode 3 of the Very Serious Crafts Podcast: Crafting a Legacy!

What are you passing along to the next generation of crafters? In this episode, we discuss the physical items, the lessons, and, of course, the memories we've received from the crafters that paved our way. We'll also leave you with some sound advice: Whatever it is, just try it! (Even if you hate it and throw it away!)

We're sharing our favorite items that let us keep our crafts close and our crafting tools closer. (It may be early, but you might want to start your holiday wishlist after listening!)

What started with an idea for a giant spider web became a very serious macrame discussion. Think we can get through a whole episode without bad puns? We're a frayed knot.

When you get to create an entire space just for your craft work, it's a luxury and also a bit overwhelming. But that won't stop us from talking about drawers, built-ins, cutting tables, and pegboards!

In this corntastic discussion, Haley and Mollie talk all things corn husks, while considering what it would take to make brooms from start to finish. And of course, they have plenty of corn puns!

We never get tired of talking about color, but this time around, it's about some helpful color tools and the types of color projects that are especially fun or challenging.

In this episode, we're searching for ways that our favorite crafting techniques are showing up in the news. It's a delightful mixture of celebrities, scandal, and downright heartwarming stories.
