Monday (05-04-2020) my guests were Shannon and Jason Mullett-Bowlsby, the dynamic DIY duo known as the Shibaguyz… the inspired creators of Shibaguyz Designz Studio. Their award winning crochet, knit, and sewing designs have been featured in and on the covers of dozens of domestic and international publications. Together, the Shibaguyz team has over 300 published patterns and 11 books credited to their name since their first design was featured on a magazine cover in 2010. Currently, they are finishing work on a new book with C&T Publishing scheduled for release December 2020. In addition to their design work, the Shibaguyz are sought-after freelance book-packaging designers having crafted books and photography for major publishing companies like Sterling Publishing, Leisure Arts, and Creative Publishing. The Shibaguyz have been teaching adults for 30+ years. Their enthusiasm, quirky sense of humor, and relatable teaching style have made them sought after teachers in both local and national venues like STITCHES Events, Sew Expo, and Houston Quilt Market. In addition to their live classes, the Shibaguyz also have a wide range of online classes available from Blueprint and Interweave. Shannon and Jason are proud ambassadors for Aurifil, Clover, BERNINA, Horn of America, the Daylight Company, and are members of the Justice League (yes, they have capes to prove it). Shannon and Jason live in Seattle, Washington with their three Shiba Inu who, more or less, support their ventures in sewing, stitching, and crafting… so long as enough time is taken for walks and treats. Full disclosure… the Shibaguyz are not only very creative people, they are also two of my very good friends. So the show did get away from us a bit. It was still fun. Please check it out.

NWP welcome Jason & Shannon aka The Shibaguyz! http://shibaguyz.com It seems like everyone these days are busy "canning" fruits and veggies but what exactly is "canning"? How hard is it to "can" and is it safe? Today we go step by step as Jason and Shannon share with us the basic techniques of the art of canning. If they can teach me, they can teach ANYONE! This should be fun and if not, hey there's always wine! Shannon & Jason Mullett-Bowlsby, aka the Shibaguyz, who live & work in Seattle with their own pack of Shiba Inu known as the Shibakidz. They “re-learned” canning a decade ago taking the learned knowledge passed down from their grandparents and parents, mixing it with modern scientifically tested data. Known for their mantra “If we can do it, anyone can,” the much sought after instructors have a passion for teaching “Heritage Skills” such as canning, cooking and gardening along with fine fiber skills like crochet, knitting, and spinning for which their patterns are internationally recognized. Look for their new cookbook arriving in stores and check out their popular crochet and knit design books. You can connect with them via Twitter: @shibaguyz Their canning demostrations at famed Pike Place Market are always a must see event! http://facebook.com/northwestprime
