Dear Crafty People,
I’m sad to report that Paste has made the very difficult decision to close. We had a good two years but it’s time to move on. I appreciate each and every one of you who has supported Paste. I’ve always joked that it takes a village to raise a Paste, and in all honesty, it did. I have met so many great people — that is single-handedly the most important thing I will take from this experience. I cannot thank you all enough for everything you have done.
We will be selling …

Ever since opening the doors to Paste we have been passionate about helping to build the independent local business community in St. Louis. I always knew the importance of buying locally but truthfully I have to admit there were times when convenience won out. I’ve spent the last few months slowing down a bit and taking the time to visit and support local stores. It is amazing how many great local businesses there are in this city. Most of us choose to live in a city because of the diversity …

What is the worst craft fail you’ve had?
I attempted to crochet a hat for my father when I was 11. It looked like a misshapen sock with a crooked cuff! It was the ugliest color brown. He wore it proudly for about a week! Then I never saw it again.
I’ve also had numerous resin messes that were a comedy of errors in my kitchen! That stuff sticks everywhere when you …

What is the worst craft fail you’ve had?
I recently came across a very old box of potholders that I had created on one of those little potholder looms for kids. I used to make a ton of these ugly little guys when I was like 6 or 7 and then my mom would …
I’ve been trying to recap this weekends Needles for Newborns event for almost a week now. At first I thought it was the lack of sleep but I am starting to realize I might just be at a loss for words.
The event started at 8am Saturday morning and continued until somewhere around 3am on Sunday. The store was packed with food donated by local restaurants. I foolishly bought food the night before thinking we would not have enough, and I couldn’t have been more wrong. A Super thanks to Nadine’s …
