Feeding
Your Craft Addiction On-line
You know you are a Craft
Addict if:
- You have four or five projects going and are looking for a
new one
- Your favorite part of the Sunday paper is the Michael's ad
- You are on the mailing list for both Hancock's Fabric and Jo-Ann's
- You have a closet full of fabric but not the right one for this
new project
- You know who Carol Duvall is
Well, we have good news
for you. The computer and especially the Internet will provide new
vistas for your addiction. By the end of this workshop you will
have accomplished the following:
- You will locate a free pattern
- Learn the latest new crafts
- Locate the right tools for your particular interest
In addition, by the end
of this session you will have learned the following about computers:
- How to find any topic that interests you
- How to locate a particular item for your particular craft
Let's cover
a few of the basics:
- There is a difference between searching and surfing the Internet.
Surfing is going over the surface much like riding the waves.
Searching is targeted, looking for a particular item or items.
- Not everything you will want to find is on-line. You may still
have to go to the store.
- While you will locate many free projects, not everything is
free. Much of the Internet is one big store that accepts credit
cards or checks to get that special gadget that you have been
trying to find for months.
- Looking for a particular item takes time and patience. Searching
on-line is fun, but it does take time. When you are ready to search
by yourself, set aside an hour or two so that you can fully enjoy
the adventure.
