Craftbits.com newsletter - free craft patterns etc

[amandajane]

I've been getting this email for a while, it's a rich source of craft projects I can do with my 9 year old. I thought I'd pass it on, the following is this weeks newsletter. I hope it helps

Dear Crafters,

We have been busy, so busy that there was just too much content
for this weeks newsletter and I have had to cull the listing, so
you will just have to wait till next time for ALL the goodies.

But don't despair because we still have heaps of projects for you
to look at and some great competitions.

I guess crafts are still kind of a niche market, eh? I adore crafts, but not the country girl, old school type of crafts that were so popular in the 80s and 90s. These look like fun, chic projects that I can really enjoy.

BTW - the tin mini-purse looks neat. It pains me so much to throw away larger mint tins (e.g., Altoids, etc.) - now I can make something with them!
