Two New Blog Gems


If Paul ever wanders into the study when I’m on the Internet, he often complains that I have too many windows open on the screen at once. It’s not uncommon for me to have eight or nine windows on the go. You know how it happens - a blog you’re reading posts a link to another amazing blog which leads you down another path where you discover something else amazing and so on. Today I thought I’d share some of the lovelies I’ve recently come across.



A Spoonful of Sugar is a fantastic source of inspiration, tutorials and recipes for all things crafty and homely. Lisa and Sarah are a mother-daughter blogging team from Perth and as I read back through their older posts, I found myself bookmarking ideas one after another. The fabric covered noodle box above for example is very cute and something I’d like to try and the gorgeous aqua and red quilt Lisa made definitely caught my eye.



Having been working on Grace’s quilt lately and searching for inspiration, I came across Amy’s blog, nanaCompany. She describes herself as a homebody who looks for the beauty in everyday life. I enjoy seeing the projects she is working on and browsing through the Flickr collages she puts together.

Have you discovered any great new blogs recently?

    I love the fabric covered noodle box and the patch work pillow with the pom poms on the outside, both gorgeous and would look great in Gracie's room! Thank you for your lovely comment today my friend.
    Have a lovely weekend - we're off to the little animal farm tomorrow, all booked in thanks to your inspiration :)

    Tina - very exciting, can't wait to see it!

    Nicole - I was making HEAPS of progress this morning with Grace's quilt, sewing together all the little squares, only to have my silly sewing machine decide to pack it in half way through!! So it's off to be serviced and in the meantime, I'm trying to look at this as a positive and get some housework done :)

    thanks for the shout out, Amanda. I'd be devastated if my sewing machine conked out on me, but then I'd probably finally go get a new one. Not a bad idea... ;) cheers! xo amy

    I am on a new blog finding bonanza at the moment - mostly through all these fabulous new Linky parties I've only just discovered.

    Love the first picture - looks like a Cath Kidston style print
