craft projects for kids and crafters. There's an ever growing holiday crafts
section in addition to other catagories.
Every effort has been made to deliver the utmost clarity in the construction
of the crafts. The crafts designed to be easy to make. Here you'll find
instructions lavishly illustrated with clean, easy to understand pictures.

More and more I'm finding that given the rising price of gas, it isn't
cost effective for me to drive all over town to gather up my materials. The
option that is working for me it to order much of my supplies online.
I vigorously explored the internet for online sources for the materials
I use in my craft making. In doing so I made a spreadsheet to help me
keep track of which suppliers had the most of what I wanted.
The list is my best effort. Please note that even though I don't show a
vendor as having a product, it may only mean that they have it and I just
didn't find it. But of what materials I use, here's a chart that you might find
handy for planning the shopping for your next project's materials.

If you're into clever designs on T-shirts, sweatshirts,
posters and the like, I invite you to check out our efforts at some Fantasy Image T-shirts.
We've had a ball making these designs. You might find an
image on a product that makes just the gift you're seeking.
Failing that, you might find a design that inspires you on
a craft idea of your own.
|
Here's a place you can go to if you're either a crafter or a shopper of
crafts.
If shopping, you'll find creative art from others on t-shirts and other everyday products.
|
This site offers an endless selection.
If you
are particularly a sketcher or painter, or clever with quips, you can go here
and put your creations on products of your own for others to enjoy. You
can start your own store for free, and maybe make some money while you
have fun making your designs.
Check it out for a hoot.
I invite you to enjoy the crafting experience offered to you at this web
site. If you wish to contact me about the web site, you can do it here: .
