Dear SouleMama Readers,
During this week of gratitude, I want to take a moment to say thank you. Thank you for spending some of your own precious time here reading. It is a pleasure and a joy to spend my time working on SouleMama, this space that is a part of the work that nurtures and feeds my soul and supports my family. Thank you!
I also want to say thank you today to the people and businesses who support this space as Sponsors. Their goods, wares and creative tools fill my home and hands often. I am proud of each of them and the ethical, creative and thoughtful work they do.
Today, I want to highlight all of our current sponsors. Many of them have graciously offered special discounts for the coming weeks that you can read more about below. I encourage you to check out their businesses as the coming holiday gift giving and craft-making season begins.
Thank you, friends!
Amanda

Craft South is a retail/studio project founded by Anna Maria Horner offering workshops, beautifully curated supply, quality tools, and Janome sewing machines for sewists, quilters, knitters, and needleworkers of all levels in a gorgeous space designed for gathering, making, shopping and sharing.
I launched Craft South this summer as a series of maker workshops in a temporary studio, and in four months we hosted more than a hundred women from around the country/world. The energy, beauty, talent and friendship that each of them contributed to this project is something that is still inspiring our direction as we stock, design and prepare the permanent brick & mortar location which will be open in Spring of 2015. As a designer who adores many crafting disciplines, I am so personally gratified by learning new things in this venture and getting to share it all with kindred spirits."
As we are still busy working on our online Craft South shop, we are happy to direct you to my own shop and offer 20% off my limited edition 2015 Calender Prints and Fine Art Prints with the coupon code soulemama2014 through Dec. 15th.
