It’s been an eventful international news weekend for sure, but that doesn’t mean that the craft world stops turning. The big news: Founding Craft Magazine editor-in-chief Natalie Zee Drieu is leaving her post to spend more time with her adorable family. Though we’ll miss her, we are super proud of her replacement: Diane Gilleland of CraftyPod fame. Isn’t it nice when you see a great job go to someone who deserves it?
