About me

User: blytheswideshut
Name: Karyn
I read a lot of other Blogs, journals and diaries. I make stuff. Sometimes I write stuff too. I kept a geocities diary for 3 years once. I'm hoping that will mean I'll keep posting here for more than a month or two.

In which I exclaim...

Why did I refuse to use a rotary cutter before now?

crazy.

For some reason the luddite in me clung on to my scissors.  Sometimes I have an almost puritan ideal lurking within me when it comes to crafting.  Often times I find myself using methods and tools that really could be upgraded or replaced, but for some reason something within me doggedly hangs on to the the old ways.

In "real life" I am not like this at all.  I usually fall into the "early adopter" category, and tend to be flexible and open minded in my attitudes.  Yet the minute I pick up a needle, scissors, fabric or crafty thing, all that goes out the window and if you didn't know better you'd think I'd come straight out of the 1500s with me funny, idiosyncratic ways.


My copy arrived today!  I bought and paid for it ages and ages ago when it was in pre-order...and I completely forgot about it.  Then it turned up in my letter box this morning!   Yippee.

At first glance I was a tiny little bit concerned that it would be just a rehash of what is on each crafter's website, however there are some very interesting nuggets of information and insights into the work of each person featured.

Click the picture to be taken to the publisher's website, where there is information on how to buy.
