What is this? Where am I? How did I get here
Hello! Welcome.
You have reached Jebarsby, a blog dedicated to art, craft, D.I.Y, and tutorials. Hopefully you're here because you've got an itch to do some crafts, in the need of some inspiration and think is the place where you'll find it :) This blog houses a collection of craft ideas written out into, what I hope are, helpful tutorials with added tips and tricks.
Welcome Alice, down the rabbit hole you go.

Welcome Alice, down the rabbit hole you go.
Why is it called Jebarsby?
That's just my name. I am miss J. E. Barsby. I like my name, its able to make a name out of a name out of a name. Coincidentally I share theses same initials with my grandma. My grandma has been a large crafting force in my life. We two are very much the same. I like this little literary connection.
A little about me
I live in New Zealand. I'm a candle maker and run a small online pet accessories business operating within NZ. I like a neat and orderly approach to tutorials; what are we making, what do you need, steps 1,2,3... I promise to always add photos. I cannot stand a tutorial without pictures. I can learn a lot more from a picture than I do from written instructions, of course I will add written instructions as well. This blog is to, I suppose, be of use to crafters like myself.
Meet the pets
No doubt you'll see them sooner or later.
Tonks - Named for Nymphadora tonks in Harry Potter, Tonks is my agoraphobic neurotic tabby. A very pretty girl but absolutely bonkers.
Figwit - A dashing Casanova-esque ginger tom, who swaggered his way from stray to pampered house cat. Figwit has undertaken the unenviable task of wooing the lady cat above (she aint wooed yet)
- Figwit gets his name from a fan made Lord of the Rings character. Figwit stands for Frodo is great...WhO Is ThAt?. sounds interesting? I suggest you google it. The website is a great deal of fun.

Oscar - The 'big boned' beagle. (we didn't get to name him, can you tell?)
My number one rule - You do not have to follow the tutorials step by step and are free to adapt them to your own liking. have fun and craft as you please.
Remember - What worked for me may not work for you. Craft is whole lot of trial and error, fun trial and error :)
