My main goal this month was to hit 100,000 visitors, I failed! We ended up a couple of thousand short, boo to that, although I know some of it can be blamed on the downtime and how flakey our server has been over the last week or so. We will hit 100k in the next day or two which is awesome, thank you so much to the visitors, subscribers and everyone who has linked to the site Tutorials are fab [...]

October marked my first month back after Connor’s arrival! Thank you for everyone for reading and subscribing even though the posts haven’t been as frequent as I would like, hopefully November will pick up even more and I will be fully back into the swing of things – about as much as I can be with two children under two to look after anyway! Tutorials have once again reigned supreme! With these being the most popular posts in the last [...]

Introducing Connor Lorne Treacy, born Friday the 19th and weighing in at 3.5kg and 56cm! So far he’s doing great, although copping a fair bit of abuse from his big brother already! Although it may be quite a few years until he’s actually contributing, I’m sure he will be a fabulous source of inspiration for the blog and for my personal projects. Thank you for all the well wishes for both of us. I’ve had a week home from hospital [...]

There’s a hiatus here on CB, I am currently on my eighth day of sitting in a hospital bed, and I’m expecting to be here for another 16 more days (can you tell I’m counting down!?). My pregnancy has taken a turn for the worse as I developed PPROM at 34 weeks and I’m now on bedrest in hospital until they induce me at 37 weeks. I’m spending my time crocheting and doing embroidery and trying my hardest to keep [...]

Ack! Real life has hit CraftBlog hard lately. I’m currently at high risk for pre-term labour and I’m under strict instructions to take it easy and spend as much time horizontal as possible – a hilarious concept to anyone familiar with mothering a toddler! Because of this I haven’t been able to dedicate as much time as I would like to writing posts and creating tutorials, so for the next couple of months instead I’ll be highlighting my favourite tutorials [...]

Lots of crafty talk on our blogs this week! Vanessa has been ordering seed beads and then making posts of which I understood about five words of! At least I could stare at the pictures and say “ooohh, pretty”. Sharon has been talking about her tools of the trade, including a superb replacement for those cheap needle threaders that everyone seems to have (and break!) Leah has been buying “Happy Flowers” for her unwell daughter, very cute And Fern has [...]

Vanessa has been travelling up to Brisbane on the first week of her new job, sans laptop!

Are you interested in becoming a contributor for CraftBlog? We’re currently hunting for crafty people from every discipline out there to contribute to CraftBlog, either as a once off or as an ongoing author.
