I like to think of crafting in this way: it is a disease and the only cure is to share it with as many people as possible. And yet, it is surprisingly difficult to bump into people who are or who you can entice into being passionate about crafts. Enter the Craft Mafia. With a chapter in almost every major city across the country, you are sure to find one close to home. Whether you want to simply chat with other crafters or you are looking to network for your business, craftmafia.com is for you. They host major indie craft events, help promote each other’s business endeavors, and have been featured in numerous national magazines. Spend time getting to know the d.i.y. gangsta side of yourself.
