Introducing my newest craft project and business venture – MAKE36

Just Elise this week (and this year!) I’m finally living up to my "Elise Gets Crafty" podcast title! I am going to share episodes monthly for the next year to take you behind the scenes of a new small business adventure. My goal is to explain how I tackle a long term project and share my ideas, progress and setbacks as I launch a new limited edition handmade product each month.
