The Crafter's Way 131 - Blogging Around Australia

 Here is this week's Messenger column , Blogging around Australia.

 It’s been a while since we visited some of the inspiring craft blogs in the creative world. I thought we might stick close to home and blog around Australia. Apologies to the Northern Territory, I simply couldn’t find any craft bloggers from that neck of the woods.

http://www.ginevra.org/blog/ this blog is our first from NSW. This is a really easy to navigate blog with categories on craft, amigurumi, knitting and sewing. No tutorials.
