CraftBlog is officially one month old! Thank you to the just over 6,000 people we’ve had come here already and take a look around, and an even bigger thanks to everyone who took the time to subscribe to our feed so they could keep on reading, and then an even bigger thank you to everyone who’s written about CB in forums and blogs and recommended us as good reading fodder. The feedback from everyone’s comments and emails has been great, keep it coming!
Tutorials have reigned supreme in the last month, our most popular posts have been…
- Sewing Machine Cover Tutorial
- Fantabulous Pincushion Tutorial
- Appliquéd Ribbon Blanket Tutorial
- T-shirt Into Drawstring Bag Tutorial
Thank you to our lovely authors for writing some awesome posts on a whole range of topics.
July also marked the creation of the CraftBlog Flickr Group, currently only with 49 photos in it, but more are being added everyday! It’s certainly worth keeping an eye on for some inspiration in your projects or finding some beautiful items to buy.
Needle Roll Giveaway
Every month I’m hoping to run a giveaway so we can share the love a bit with our readers, this month up for grabs is the pink and black knitting needle holder from this week’s tutorial. It’s simple to enter, just leave a comment on this post telling us what you’d like to see in the future of CB, more tutorials? more needlework? more kid’s crafts? Anything you can think of that you think might improve the site. There’s no right or wrong answer, every comment will be assigned a number and I’ll be using a random number generator to spit out a winner.
Entry is open worldwide, you must leave a valid email address so I can contact you for your postage details and your comment must be made by midnight on Sunday the 10th of August, Sydney time.
So we wave goodbye to July and look to the future, with plenty of activity coming up on CB, a new author with some tutorials that I’m really excited about, some great new online finds and of course the crafty goodness will continue. Bring on the next month!

Thanks and congrats on one month!! 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.
I still consider myself to be a beginner even though I’ve been doing this for over a year so more things geared towards beginners would be great! Thanks!
