Customer Reviews
Great concept!
I love the dynamic between these two women. They are smart, interesting and goofy enough to keep the audience engaged. I appreciate the idea of this show for so many reasons, particularly the aspects of having a job and balancing your personal time working in a craft. I think this is an important conversation that can inspire and ultimately help people in doing what they love.
