I try not to mention ads too much, although I do run them in the sidebar.
Yes, it costs money to run a blog, but in all honesty, I’ve been running a few ads for years and I’m pretty sure I’ve made less than $20 total.
But, the brands I do run ads for are ones that I personally use, and I figured I’d talk about them, especially since it’s that or think about my personal life and I just can’t right now.
So! Craftsy! Craftsy is a web site that offers a whole bunch of classes in a whole bunch of different creative areas – stuff like Floor Loom Weaving, Cooking With Cast Iron, Building a Raised Bed Garden, The Secrets of Free-Motion Quilting..seriously, tons of stuff. I’ve taken several of the quilting classes offered, and there are videos of steps, personal interaction with the instructors, and downloadable patterns and pdfs. They’re fun!
They also offer pre-made kits and supplies, and I’ve had good luck with the ones that I’ve bought.
And, starting today, they are having a pretty damn good sale on class prices. So check it out!
