Hi ppl, I joined this community last week and have been looking through back entries wide wide eyes and a dropped jaw at the really awesome stuff everyone seems to be making! I'm new to the crafting game, have only ever made beaded jewelry but would like to give other things a go... From what I've seen, I'd like to make handy gifts (soaps and lipgloss kinda things) and would love to try my hand at a bag bar the fact I dont have a sewing machine...

Anyway, just saying hallo, and was wondering if there are any sites/projects you could recommend to a newbie like me? :D
