Some of you may already know me through my blog, greetingarts, which I started nearly three years ago.  I’m excited to be writing for Craft Tutorials, and plan on being your guide to tutorials, a bookmark for interesting articles, craft book reviewer, product tester, and your link to swaps and patterns.  I don’t feel settled unless I craft every single day, and I like to try my hand at many different things.

1. yo ho ho, 2. pitter patter, 3. pencil pal, 4. blanket for a friend, 5. 12-pocket colored pencil roll, 6. so twirly, 7. cartwheels on the line, 8. while I’m parenting, 9. finished at last, 10. robot faces, 11. first tooth, 12. witchy card, 13. Made for China, 14. California snowman, 15. family portrait, 16. posh petite invitations

I knit, crochet, sew, quilt, embroider, do papercrafts, and create softies.  I’ve done traditional rug hooking, counted cross stitch, and plan to try needlepunch and needle felting in the near future.  I have drawers full of beads,  blocks of polymer clay, hundreds of rubber stamps, markers, colored pencils and crayons.  Oh, and two different paper cutters.  Crafts are a huge part of my life, and I’m happily addicted to creating things.

I hope you’ll be patient with me as I find my footing here, with a new audience and an unfamiliar blog platform.  I’d like to share some of the things I know with you, discover new things together, and continue building our creative community.  I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.

Hi, I’m Holli Jo, and I’m a new writer for Craft Tutorials. I’m really excited to get started! But first, a little about me.

I’m from the western United States, but just moved across the country to Georgia with my husband. We’re slowly getting used to the change! My hobbies and interests are very scattered. I love health, exercise, reading, writing, hiking, movies, cuddling, and of course, crafts! My crafty interests include crocheting, sewing, paper crafts, recycling items and turning them into crafts, knitting (I still haven’t mastered knitting, but I’m determined to!), and pretty much any other craft that catches my interest.

My personal blog is here if you want to know more about me and what I’m all about. I’m excited to be part of Craft Tutorials, and will be back soon to try out some tutorials and create some tutorials of my own!

Before posting I wanted to introduce myself. My name’s Dominique and I’m an art director from Argentina, I love sewing and knitting among other crafts, as I told Eve if anyone considers that my post should be in spanish or french, I would be pleased to translate them. ok? well I hope you’ll like my posts!

hugs, Dominique

Hello fellow CT addicts! My name is Donna and I’m another new co-writer, feeling lucky to be joining an impressive roster of talented crafters. I live in Los Angeles, CA and work as a graphic designer/illustrator by day and a crafter/printmaker by night. My sister and I have an online art and accessories business together called Four Idle Hands. The accompanying blog is Devilishly Good Stuff and we like to talk about anything and everything!

Like Lisa, I tend to have Crafting ADD and jump from project to project, so this seems like it will be a good place to document the insanity. I also spend an inordinate amount of time surfing the internet so I’ll be sure to share any interesting craft news I find.

Cheers!

Just another intro post from a newbie.  My name is Lisa and I live in Nebraska.  I am 29 years old, wife, mom, cat owner, etc.  I have a lot of hobbies…I think my main fault (if you can call it that) is bouncing all over the place, trying different things.  Which of course makes this type of blog just right, because there seems to be a little bit of everything to do here!!  I also have my own blog at http://musings.willis-illustration.com, where I post a lot of illustrations, paintings, scrapbooking, jewelry, and other stuff.  Plus I enjoy stamping, crocheting, knitting (or trying to, anyway), some sewing (still learning, but I’m really good at ripping out crooked seams!), embroidery, and anything that involves a glue gun!
