I'm delighted to bring you another episode of the Adventures in Arting Podcast!
If you do not see the podcast player above, please click on this link. You can listen to a podcast anywhere and at any time. It is a recording that is available to you whenever you'd like to listen. If you'd like to download it to your iTunes library, click here. You can also pause and rewind or fast forward as you desire. I like to listen to podcasts while I'm making art. It's a little like hanging out with friends while you art.
Today we're talking to Vanessa Vargas Wilson.
Best known as the Crafty Gemini, she is a former law professor who chose to pursue a YouTube career instead.
She posts instructional videos, teaching viewers how to do everything from sewing and quilting to organic gardening and canning.
She quit her job as a college law professor to pursue her Crafty Gemini business full-time. HERE is an interview she did that tells more about her business.
Find Vanessa online:
- My YouTube channel for 250+ tutorials on a ton of different things including sewing, quilting, crochet, cooking, gardening, canning, etc.
- My online classes and PDF patterns website.
On the podcast we discuss homesteading, homeschooling, the business of art, standing up for yourself and demanding a fair price, YouTube, and Vanessa's very interesting career path.
Be sure to leave us your comments and questions. I always like to know what's on your mind. Thanks for stopping by!

This was the BEST show, honestly I’m not interested in sewing at all, but was driving home from work (hour commute) and thought … what the heck. Vanessa was fascinating, I learned so much, her life story is incredibly sweet, thoughtful and full of hope. Her energy was off the charts, like the ‘whole 9’! And Julie … I loved that you asked questions and spent time talking about her lifestyle, her family … it wasn’t just about her crafting … the whole show was just really great b/c you both had such energy. Thanks … love the show.

I am so glad you are back to the podcasts! I really enjoy the variety of topics and artists interviewed. It makes me happy when I see the notification that there is another padcast to enjoy.
On another note I was wondering if there was any chance you were coming to the SF bay area to teach this year? Maybe after CHA? Just a thought. (hint hint hint)

Today I listened to my first podcast. Didn’t know if I was going to like that concept or not. It was the most recent one I do believe, The Crafty Gemini. I enjoyed it tremendously. It was very entertaining and inspiring. Well, now I guess i have to listen to more. I was able to work on an art project and listen. It was a good deal. Keep on doing what you do!
