\nI don’t quite know how it happened.<\/p>\n

I was idly looking at craft-related blogs, clicking on links from one to the other, admiring swaps and craft-alongs, smiling at finished products on Flickr, skimming Self-Portrait Tuesdays … I started to see craft blogs as a real community, a way of having other craftspeople chat with me in my livingroom, even though they live over the other side of the world. In short, I wanted to take part … so here goes.<\/p>\n
