What is Craftsy?
Craftsy is a worldwide craft community offering online classes. It also has a patterns marketplace where independent designers can sell their patterns; a supplies shop with great deals on yarn, fabric, and class kits; and a projects section where members share pictures of their latest craft successes. With over two million members and counting, Craftsy has something for just about everyone, in categories ranging from quilting, sewing, knitting, painting, photography, cooking, and more.
Why should I take a class online?
Online education isn’t just for schools and universities anymore. Craftsy courses provide you the convenience of a world-class instructor in your home, whenever you want to learn. Online education, no matter what subject, is a great alternative to in-person classes for a number of reasons.
With many online learning opportunities being on-demand, you are able to learn at your own pace, anytime. Online learning is a fantastic alternative to in-store craft classes for people with busy schedules or who have difficulty leaving the house. It also allows you to watch a troubling section over-and-over again, so you can see exactly how a technique is carried out, or refer back to your class for relevant concepts before beginning any new projects.

i love blue sea buys their seafood direct from the source, with fishermen all across the nation. They ship in eco-friendly packaging. Your seafood will arrive fresh to your door and you can choose your arrival date up to 2 weeks in advance.
Sustainable fishing means that the population of the species is healthy, well managed and farmed or caught in an environmentally friendly way. So you don't have to worry about them contributing to the over-fishing problem. Also, they give preference to smaller, family-owned companies operating entirely in the U.S.
How do you know your seafood is fresh? Most of their frozen seafood is individually quick frozen at sea meaning when you thaw and eat, the fish will be hours old. Their frozen seafood in -40 degrees coolers until you order it.
I have ordered sardines for the dogs from them multiple times, it always arrives on time, fresh, and the sardines look bright, the eyes are clear, and they just seem like high quality fish. It definitely helps the dogs out with their allergies and keeps their coat bright, shiny and soft without having to give them supplements with words you can't even pronounce.
