DMC (the company that makes all different types of threads - embroidery, needlework, crochet etc…) has a new website. One of its best features is the education center. It teaches you basic and more advanced techniques for: embroidery, cross stitch, needlepoint, crochet and tatting here. *I found one glitch in their how-to crochet stitches, but everything else looked great.
Free Cross Stitch Patterns from Cross Me Not here. From circuit boards to light sabers to Pokemon to Mario to Christmas (the list is too long to mention), this is a great site for little cross stitch patterns that I would expect to see on Etsy merchandise (but please read her sales’ policy first).
Clockwise: Bulbasaur here. Cassette Tape here. Kitchy Flamingo here. Tortoro here. *Most patterns come with DMC Embroidery Floss Color Charts. Found through Craftgossip.
Why I Have a Tumblr Blog
The purpose of my blog has become to catalog unique crafts that I truly love and would do myself. I love the look of handmade crafts - handmade in a good way. My crafts tend to be doable and inexpensive - because I have either done them myself or intend on doing them. "Doable" doesn't mean "simple" crafts, but rather crafts that have tutorials that are clear and easy to understand. *I will never copy an entire tutorial from any blogger because that takes away page views from their site and 99.99% of the time it violates their copyright policy. I also will not reblog a post if the entire tutorial is published without the permission of the original blogger. I will cite, if known, sources for my posts because I believe in giving credit to the photographer/designer/blogger. Also, to act like something is your own idea, when it isn't, is just wrong.
