Come behind the scenes at Anykind for a tour of Jesse's work room in Norfolk, VA.
I love how open this room is and how much space I have. My work spaces before this room were a closet office type room and then a corner of our living room. So it's really nice to have enough room and surface space to spread out and work on a few different things at once. I also love the windows and natural light.
Miss Vicky Viola recreates the country style of singer Dolly Parton.
Anyone who tells you that they don't like Dolly Parton is a liar. It's not humanly possible. That amazing barbie look, those catchy tunes and heartfelt lyrics, her sharp wit and fast humour - there's nothing not to love. Everyone has had at least one Dolly moment in their life - wether it was trying to get motivated for that crappy 9 To 5 job or pouring your heart out and seeking solace by howling out the lyrics to Jolene on the karaoke machine, Dolly was there for you and she helped you get through it. She's all about truth and honesty and rocking killer outfits and not giving a crap about what anyone else thinks about your look. That's why she is one of my favourite ladies and my choice for this DIY the look. Cowgirl outfit? Yes please! Rhinestones? Always! Big hair? Let's get the BIGGEST! But, with all things Dolly, you gotta remember where your heart is. Be truthful to yourself and look fabulous in the process. You are a queen - don't change for anyone! xox

Markee recreates the glitz and glamour of the party from The Great Gatsby for our first ever DIY The Party!
I would love to attend this party because it looks so glam and opulent, it makes you want to throw on a set of pearls and become a vintage socialite.

Crafting a Colorful Home
We chat to Kristin, give you a chance to win the book and learn how-to make Mosaic Flower Pots & Hanging Embroidery Hoop “Lanterns”.
My family and I live in a wooden cape-style farmhouse with a large center chimney built in 1751 in western Massachusetts. I grew up in a family of 5 sisters and have been sewing, stitching, knitting, and crocheting forever. Color is my thing and I love to decorate my home with textiles and objects I have made and collected. My husband Mark, our teenage daughter Julia, and I also raise 400 sheep and sell our lamb at local farmers markets. I was a Creative Director at Classic Elite Yarns for 16 years and am the author and illustrator of 12 books, mostly about knitting and embroidery. Crafting a Colorful Home is my first interior decorating book and I loved doing it.
