Remember my lovely IKEA Dresser Makeover?

I love how it turned out and apparently I’m not alone. Days after I revealed my dresser makeover, Matt from Mystic Knotwork contacted me about showcasing it on their site. I was thrilled! I’m such a big fan of Mystic, Connecticut (and this company!) with it’s rich nautical history. I’m proud to be a part of it, even if it’s just on a webpage.

Check me out on the same media site as Martha Stewart!

And speaking of Martha Stewart, have you heard of Martha Stewart American Made? Martha has assembled a list of nominees in the fields of craft, design, food, garden, style, and technology. All of these nominees are American makers.

You can read through the list of fabulous nominees by clicking on the photo below. I love this contest. It’s not even about the award but rather learning about so many craftsmen at businesses large and small across America.

There’s a lot of nominees but you can sort by category or search on your own by state. I scrolled through my fellow New Englanders and have been voting feverishly for of course who else but Mystic Knotwork!
