So I'm in search of all crafty things canadian, and I found some fun sites:

Canadian Craft and Hobby Association

Satin Moon Quilt Shop

Textile Sources

Canadian Craft Supplies

Canadian Quilt Links

Canadian Mail Order Sources

I'd really like to try this swap business and I found a site that takes care of all the thinking that's involved.  I'll have to free up some time and try-it.

Visit Swap-bot.

I'm in!  I just found two perfect swaps to start with.  I'm signing up right now!  I'm so excited.

I'm so disappointed and happy at the same time.  So I'm perusuing the latest copy of Craft Zine online and I discover all the frickin tutorials I have been looking for - are right there in the magazine!!!!!!  All the searching I did, and look right there in front of me, mine to buy, no research needed, just money. 

So check out this month's Craft zine. It's only the second one ever and its already kicking major booty.  (don't want to swear and offend anyone, b/c in person, I swear like a sailor).

Ok, here are some magazines I enjoy.  If there are any out there that you enjoy, share 'em with me, I'm always in search of new info.
