SISTER DIANE GILLELAND of The Church of Craft and the CraftyPod blog preaches joy in the making, and the power of the handmade article. Amen, we said, when we profiled her not long ago. Now, Diane’s new e-book, Weaving Un-Loomed (which includes the tote pattern above) is bringing her message to more believers. This week, TSP is giving away a free copy…to celebrate that it’s finally fall and back-to-crafts time in our own homes. Details, details: [click to continue…]

New work by Elsita.
OVER IN OUR TSP GALLERIES, we’ve showcased a number of sisters whose creativity, whether culinary, literary or artistic, moved us, inspired us or simply made us sigh at the beauty of their work. As we mark our blog network’s half-birthday this week, we thought it was high time we checked back in with some of your favorites, to see what they’re up to now, and to remind new visitors to check out work they may have missed. Sister Paige catches us up.
S ISTER DIANE GILLELAND, one of our favorite profiles in the TSP Galleries to date and a missionary of all things crafty, invited our own sister Margaret Roach (me!) over for one of her popular podcasts. You can hear their chat at Diane’s Craftypod blog (and if you missed Diane’s show in our Galleries, it’s here). Enjoy.

IN THE GALLERIES: The papercuts of ELSA MORA.
First time here? Here's the idea: TSP is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in-friendship or in-feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.
As the suffix of its name suggests, TSP's Sisterpedia
is the reference section, one we’re hoping you’ll help us grow to maturity by adding your knowledge in the comments. Turn us on to new facts and figures, whether for the branch of our ‘library’ called Sistory (history from a sister point of view, from the Muses of ancient Greece to 60s Girl Groups and beyond) or the one called Sibling Science (what makes sisters tick, genetically and behaviorally). Or just click around and have a good read. See you there. 
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.
TSP’s Galleries were created to show off that outpouring of art and craft, poetry and prose. Come see a show or two—no ticket required, no lines to get in—and suggest others whose work we ought to showcase.
