Happy Part 2

Yesterday or last night (time is all relative), I signed into my ravelry account and went directly to my friends.  To my utter delight, there were blog posts from 6 of my favorite blogs:

1.  Baa Baa Blacksheep - Bea is a Texan and faithfully posts every day.  She has adorable bulldogs (Gussy’s my favorite) but she is always working on some sort of intricate and beautiful sock.  Check out her newest one – so pretty!

2.  A Day in the Life of Knit & Purl Mama - Robyn is a Canadian, runs an online yarn store and has 2 really cute kids.  They’re such happy kids!  Just by seeing them, you can tell how much they are loved.  I love reading about what the kids are up to and can totally relate, seeing as I have young children, too.  Plus she must have the most massive stash anyone has ever seen!  She’s always posting pictures of delicious yarn she has purchased.

3.  Get Your Hook On - Kathy Marie is so cool.  She’s in my local stitch ‘n bitch group.  She has a great sarcastic sense of humor and wonderful taste in yarn – almost always bright and cheerful.  I love talking to her and I love her blog!

4.  The Adventures of Cassie - Cassie is another member of  the snb group.  Cassie’s a grad student majoring in art (of some kind) and she is so talented!  Not just in painting or fiber art, but at knitting.  And photography.  Go and look at the pictures in the latest post — it captured the day perfectly.  It’s a treat to read her blog and see what creative thing she is up to.

5.  Knitting in Pink - I don’t know Valerie well, but she has purchased stitch markers from me in the past to put on box bags that she sews.  She is extremely talented in the areas of knitting and sewing and quilting and weaving.  I love to surround myself with talented crafters, as I find them to be inspiring.  And Valerie is definitely inspiring!

6.  Fun is in Style - my friend, Jen.  I met her through Etsy and she is dear to my heart.  She’s another incredibly talented crafter with such a unique artistic vision.   Her photography is impeccable.  She treasures vintage things and has such neat little collections of things that she posts every so often - when she’s not making cool jewelry (the “Carolyn Ring” is my fave) or knitting beautiful, intricate items or posting pictures of cool mid-century modern furniture.  And check out her Little People shop on etsy.  Oh my, it is so cool.  I personally have the “school picture” –  right next to the computer! 

All of these blogs are awesome!  And they make me happy.

Thanks, guys!!!
