   I don’t know if the contest is open to international participants, but I for one have love love loved your tutorials. I just got my fabric for the sewing machine cover and I am really excited about getting that completed in the next week or so. I also plan on making the ribbon tag blanket for our new baby due in November, once we find out if its a boy or a girl.

   I would say more tutorials. They are so helpful! It would be really great if someone could do a duvet cover tutorial or perhaps an apron/smock tutorial for kids and adults.

   What a fantastic giveaway….I’m loving the tutorials.
   I used the notebook cover tutorial as the basis for a journal that I made this week.

   I have to admit, I’m a sucker for tutorials, though I’d have to live to be at least 642 to finish even a fraction of the things I’d *like* to do… I love the “little bit of everything” that this blog offers, and would only suggest more photos! Thanks for a great site and a chance to win a beautiful needle roll.

   [...] 2008 by Fern Just in case anyone’s interested, there’s a giveaway on CraftBlog for a handmade knitting needle holder, not sure how many knitters read NN, but it’s worth a look if you need somewhere to stash [...]

   Ooh wow, what a great idea (The sewing machine cover).. Mine is very daggy!!

   I would love to see almost like a shoppers version of a bargain bin, where craft sales/specials are available, particularly online and also preferably Australian..

   What about a ‘craft a week/craft a month’ section, where a totally random craft is shown, to promote people who otherwise wouldnt contemplate doing something in particular would start to think about starting ie: simple jewellery, crochet teatowels etc etc?

   Love your blog, too

   I’m loving the tutorials but you really need a mascot. Plus edible crafts as well – like candy sushi.

   I’d LOVE to see more kids crafts. Maybe things like tutorials on felt crafts(felt foods etc), and creative paints and things.

   Maybe some knitted and crochet crafts like a modern/cool looking plastic bag holder, or something classic like a toaster/kettle cover would be awesome!

   Oooh, and I’d love to see a funky banner at the top.. Anyone into digi-scrapping? It’d be cool if you(or Dan, lol) could make several layouts with different colours etc, where you could choose which you wanted to view the blog in(like a drop-down menu somewhere on the site). Handy for someone like me who prefers darker coloured backgrounds, and it’d be fun to see different colours and layouts!

    I love the tutorials, I just don’t have enough time in the day/week/month to do all the ones I want. I have a morning to myself this sunday and am planning on making a sewing machine cover, a computer cover and the pincushion. I would love to see kids crafts and definitely more tutorials.

    Wow, what an awesome prize. I’m a bit of a knitter, so the roll would be great because my needles would spend more time there than actually knitting LOL.

    I am an “afternoon project” crafter, in that any project I take on has to be completed in an afternoon – so more of that would be AWESOME

    Oh, you’re new blog is glorious eye candy! I adore looking at all your tutorials – particularly love the ribbon blanket. As a busy Mum who teaches her children via School of the Air I had almost given up on my crafty ways but thanks to you I’ve found my inner quilting nerd again, so a big thankyou to you all!

    Loving the blog, thanks Fern and everyone involved.

    I’d love to see some tutorials on wool dyeing… there isn’t much out there for dyeing using the microwave. I’m sure someone on NA could volunteer!
    Also, a hand embroiderery lesson would be awesome!

    I’m loving the pictures of the projects. Some sites are too light on pictures and I don’t know what to expect. So… I guess the only way to make that better is MORE pictures! lol.
    Thanks for a great giveaway! My needles are a haystack at the moment. Yes, I should make a needle roll… but this one is so pretty, I hope I win one instead!

    I wish I had time this morning to search your blog a bit and answer the question better. But I do love tutorials!
    I’m a newer knitter and would love some great tutorials on knitting, I need to be able to see how it is done, like a video of it. Even though I read well, and can apply things, it is usually my way of learning, knitting has me baffled and I couldn’t do it with a book, lol.

    I love tutorials. I have learned to sew by using the tutorials that are out there on the web. For me being a beginner sewer I like tutorials with lots of pictures. If I can see what you are doing I can match it but if it is being explained with no pictures I move onto another tutorial that has pictures. I am so glad I found your site. I will be back to check out all the great information you have on here.
    Cheers Kyla

    I love tutorials, especially for the sewing/patchwork items because I haven’t done much of that stuff so I need help thinking it through.

    I’m a cross-stitcher and counted-thread stitcher, both of those crafts seem to be dieing out and I’d love to see more enthusiasm about them in the craft world.

    Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway!

    I arrived at this site through your post on LJ and was thrilled to see a “dot au” ending to the site! A little closer to home at least (I’m in Malaysia)

    How to improve the site, you ask? I’m going googly-eyed at all the great tutorials available and I honestly think there already is a little bit of something for everyone!

    Great site!

    Hi – I just stumbled across your blog today through Sew, Mama, Sew. I have just begun learning to knit and to sew so I was thrilled to find your blog with great tutorials and for a chance to win the knitting needle holder. I haven’t looked around your site yet so this may already be here but I need to start with a simple project like possibly a pillow cover.
