Kathy Cano Murillo, alias Crafty Chica, writes about films and crafts for a living. And if that isn’t enough, she also makes art, working alongside her husband, Patrick, at their Phoenix home/studio. She describes herself as a ‘mom, wife, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter’!

The Crafty Chica website is full of crafty projects, podcasts, books, advice and her own handmade, glitter-filled, Latino-inspired creations. The site is bright, lively, entertaining, inspiring and highly addictive. I’ve just lost half of the afternoon reading through the articles and projects. Definitely one to add to your ‘Friday Afternoon Sites’ list.

I had a hard time picking out some Crafty Chica goodies to show you - there’s so much to choose from. However, I finally decided on these sexy, racy ‘Mexican Novela Glitter Earrings’ (above left), based on a Mexican comic story and this fabulous ‘Religious Picture Bracelet’ (above right) based on religious pictures from the Catholic faith.
