Just wanted to stop in this morning and let you know that I haven't forgotten about you! As I mentioned in my last post we have dealing with our fair share of winter sickness in this household. It just keeps going around and around.....just when I think we're coming out of it, one of us takes a dive again. It's nothing serious....just your garden-variety winter ills, but it is challenging nonetheless. The kids are officially on school holidays. Hopefully they will be well enough to enjoy them soon.
Due to the lack of productivity around here I have only a couple of things to show you today - I finished these a couple of weeks ago, before the sickness descended on our household! More baby stuff.....I think the white and pink hat might need a flower attached too. What do you think?
As I haven't been doing much actual crafting, I thought I'd share some lovely blogs I've recently discovered. I am seriously entrenched in my fabric and yarn obsession at the moment, and these blogs are fuelling that obsession. I am also enjoying reading about simplifying our lifestyle, and toying with the idea of rejuvenating our garden this spring. All in all, these are homely, nesting-type days filled with comfort food, keeping warm and dry, and nurturing my family and home.
Here are a few if my favourites at the moment, for your Sunday reading pleasure:
Down to Earth - this delightful blog by Aussie Rhonda Hetzel is about simple living, home-keeping and lots of other loveliness relevant to the challenging times we are facing at the moment. I have found lots of pearls of wisdom here.
My Sewing Serenity - A pretty blog about sewing, gardening and other homely type things by US blogger Cathleen. This blog is such a visual treat to visit.
Lucy Bowler - I linked to Lucy's blog last week when I handed out a blog award. Just wanted to remind you to visit her......you'll be glad you did. Lots of beautiful stuff and inspiration here.
Feeling Stitchy - An embroidery blog by various artists. Some of the stuff here is downright bizarre but there is lots of inspiring pieces to see as well.
dear fii - Aussie blog full of crafty, stitchy goodness.
Attic24 - Lots of crochet inspiration and information to be discovered here. Bright, beautiful colours in her work.
Amazing Mae by Tracie. Fabric and sewing amongst lots of other beautiful creative stuff.
There are oodles more that are occupying my time right now, but I will save some for another day......I don't want to overload you!
Oh papercrafting mojo! Where have you gone? I am hoping you will come and visit again soon (at least before my next Making Merry Monday post tomorrow). But isn't it nice to be inspired by other crafts? It really keeps the creative passion flowing......and that is such an important part of my life. Hope you enjoy browsing these blogs. Have a wonderful Sunday. Love Anita. xxx
Anita, those little baby hats are VERY sweet. I think the pink one doesn't need a flower; looks tres chic without! I can share in your woes about these winter viruses; they're hanging around my boys, too. Am hoping for a super-quick recovery before we head off on holidays in a few days!! Look forward to checking in on your blog on my return, my friend. Christine x
