I am Amy Marson the Publisher at C&T Publishing. I have been with C&T for 10 years and have the privilege of running the day-to-day operations. And in my job, I get to see beautiful things every day. I have been creating handmade projects for most of my life. I love to make something and give it away, very rarely do I keep what I make: my joy is in the making and then the giving. I am inspired by talented designers, beautiful images and anything with a texture. I sew, quilt, felt, knit, collage, draw, and paint. Show me a new way to create and I will give it a shot.

I have always enjoyed crafting, but never before thought about my relatives and how they also liked to make things that were useful and beautiful.
I was hanging up ornaments that my mom had hung on her tree and I smiled… Read more.

In for a penny, in for a pound

Amy's Bottle Collection

A few years ago I acquired a bottle collection from my 88-year-old neighbor, Gene. His wife wanted the bottles gone and none of their five kids were interested. In a moment of weakness I agreed to purchase the collection. I thought there were several boxes and a few hundred bottles. In reality, there were over 35 boxes and 1,500 bottles. At this point the sane person would have run the other way, but as my husband so graciously said, “In for a penny, in for a pound.”
