If you enjoy crafts, you will have fun looking around this site. Half an hour after opening, I was still finding interesting topics to follow. I signed up for one of their free printed catalogs, The Yarn Shoppe but there are many to chose from; then I signed up for their E-Specials. They send you an email to let you know of specials, new products and previews. Awesome!

I got "my hands dirty" in the clay studio and didn't get to check out any other studios. This is a really nice website. Spend some time and a person could really learn a lot!

Have you been looking for Burda Patterns? Read this:

http://www.glpnews.com/crafts.html

As you enter the crafts section, choose the sewing page and you will find Burda Patterns. They have lots and lots of catalogs, monthly magazines, knitting, crocheting, cross stitch, kids fashions, plus sizes, sewing for beginners; all Burda fashions and although they are probably worth every penny, they are very expensive.

http://www.simplicity.com

This is the pattern maker and they have lots of catalogs to look through. Many are for sale for those who can afford such things.  Many projects and ideas. I had been in search of more information about Burda patterns; which were said to be carried by Simplicity. There was no mention until I got to the place on their site where they can be contacted and sure enough, there is a topic, Burda Patterns. So, I've got an email question in to them and will see how they reply.

Their reply was received within just a few days! Sure enough! They furnish a form for ordering the Burda pattern catalog since there is no Burda online for ordering. It arrived as an email attachment and answered all my questions.  If you cannot find the right spot, I'll be glad to help.

The page has changed completely since I had last been to visit. The old store I had always shopped in closed down some time ago but the locator page gave me the address of one that is open in town. The web page no longer has a projects page but it is still interesting to read.
