Stewart's strawberry pincushions... The projects really gave me confidence to keep sewing and I've discovered that I am the kind of sewer who prefers to follow instructions via pics and without a pattern. In addition to it all, my son learned a little about how the postal system worked and we made friends with a lovely family in Australia!

How UN-TRUE it is that as we get older we have less to contribute. This time in a person's life is when you're past alot of the things you were struggling with when you were younger or raising kids -- there's so much more to contribute now.

I have found all sorts of interesting sites which I would never have visited if it wasn't for recommendations on people's blogs. The only downside is the temptation to buy all the amazing books that I see recommended. I don’t know many people that craft so it’s great to read people’s blogs and see what they are doing.

It is inclusive, non selective and everyone is so generous with info and ideas. It really feels like a force for good in the craft world. It sure beats mindless tv, even if I sometimes realise I have created nothing today but have browsed to my hearts content.
