February 6th: The TangleCrafts Etsy Store is now open! You can still order the old-fashioned, low-tech way through this site (& you might have to for now, as it will take me a while to transfer all the product details across) but hopefully, ordering from TangleCrafts will be much simpler from now on.
February 5th: Just a warning – I’m about to commence an overhaul of all the site classifications, so some of the links within posts and pages won’t work for a while. It will probably take me a couple of days to catch up. In the meantime, just use the links in the right-hand sidebar, and you should be okay. Sorry for the inconvenience!
