Making things -- website recommendations!

Yesterday I wrote about the wreath I decorated, and making ornaments.  I love crafting.  I wish I had more time for it!

I get emails from Craftsy.com -- it's a site you can take video classes on.  I have enrolled in several classes..Wonderful -- they have all kinds of things -- knitting, crochet, sewing, cooking, cake decorating, jewelry making, some crafts, too.  The classes range from free to I think $59.99, and right now they have all classes at $19.99, but not sure when the sale ends.

Once you purchase a class, it's yours to see as slowly as you want, whenever you want. There is even an app for iPad so you can watch on that device right in the kitchen or sewing area, as you follow along with the instructor.  They have really clear demonstrations, well-known experts teaching, and the instructors answer questions.  They have instructor handouts, etc., and you can post a picture of your final project if you want. And your access is "forever".  You can purchase classes as a gift for someone, too, and there is a section where you can purchase things like yarn and fabric at great prices, and sometimes kits for the classes.

From Craftsy I saw a free class about making handbags, signed up for it, and checked out the instructor's blog.  If you like sewing and making things other than clothing, check out her website:

Enjoy!  Only 24 days till Christmas:)
