Make Pie Not War at FSL 2010

Featured Designer at FSL - By Alana Little - I love crafts. People ask me what is my favorite thing to make or buy and even now I can't come up with an answer! I started Make Pie Not War as something fun for people to enjoy. I love the smile people get when they see something that I've made. I know that crafts won't solve the world’s problems, but we can take people away from them for awhile! My passion is the unique.... I always want to increase my knowledge base of the arts. I love doing custom work! Love, Alana
