With over 140,000 member registered on the site, this online community website is full of useful info and forums and craft challenges with prizes. Its intent is a free sharing website of how people make what they make and do what they do. This months challenge was to create something in homage of your childhood hero (like superman or the cat in the hat!). Check out the submissions, they are pretty amazing!

These girls are based out of SanFran. They have a website and podcast all about making stuff. Not only do they have great crafts, but they take great pictures of their experiences and creations. Tons of links, tons of archives, get lost in it!

I've been checking out independent crafter websites lately, mostly to be aware of the many communities that support the d.i.y spirit. Champ and I always seek inspiration in order to fuel our creations, we just want the same process to catch on to you. Here are a few that I've been reading lately.

Jennifer, the girl who started this blog, also has a podcast of interviews and homemade videos about crafts. She writes about all kinds of creations; quilts, candles, calligraphy, textiles, even this tree skirt. She writes about "Knitted Graffiti" which is something that I wasn't aware of until paying attention. Basically, knitters put their crafts onto trees and telephone poles around cities, with a similar (albeit perhaps less controversial) tag identity as conventional spray paint graffiti. :-)
