Not crafty but will make you smile!
The one blog I have to visit regularly is Confessions of a Craft Addict http://confessionsofacraftaddict.com/

I try to stay updated on these blogs: ohfransson.com, portobellopixie.typepad.com, and blog.designerdigitals.com. There’s too many great blogs to just choose one!
I love going to http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/ and http://www.ohfransson.com/oh_fransson/
I’ve been reading Pioneer Woman like mad, too. I love that she posts so much! http://thepioneerwoman.com
this is my favorite blog – her son’s professional quality photographs make every day things shine as pieces of art. It helps me to see the beauty I have around ME every day. And she’s a lovely seamstress.
http://pleasantviewschoolhouse.blogspot.com/index.html
I visit Chasing Cheerios every day. http://chasingcheerios.blogspot.com I’ve gotten great ideas for my kids from this blog.
I’ve got Applique Today on my blogroll. I enjoy seeing her quilts, projects, and the cool fabric she finds
My daily blog reads have already been mentioned. Ree at Pioneer Woman, Jessica Claire’s photography blog, Crystal’s MoneySavingMom.com blog, so I’m going to say my DH’s blog: theapostleoftheturtle.com.
What pretty fabric. I check several blogs regularly, many have already been mentioned here! I especially like Autum’s creativelittledaisy.typepad.com and Angie Smith’s audreycaroline.blogspot.com (not a crafty site but very inspiring).
Just one? Not a sewing blog, but I keeping going back to Andrea Singerella’s blog, http://velvetstrawberries.typepad.com/andreasingarella/handmade_by_me/ and shop, One Hundred Wishes.
I wouldn’t miss a day of Sew Mama Sew
I’ve been checking Little Momma & Company ever since I discovered it this summer!
http://www.littlemommaandcompany.blogspot.com/
There’s so many cute cooking ideas that i probably wouldn’t have found if I hadn’t found her site!
I’ve been reading Brooklyn Tweed and the Purl Bee
Trueup, notmartha, tinyhappy, soulemama, designsponge, whipup, angrychicken…so much inspiration, so little time…
I check this blog everyday to learn about godly womanhood.
http://girltalk.blogs.com/girltalk/
I have been reading Oh Fransson http://www.ohfransson.com/oh_fransson/
I love her work and she has some really nice tutorials.
I’m an avid “>SouleMama fan, personally. I’ve been following her for more than a year now!
I love the Pioneer Woman and BooMama and BigMama really make me laugh.
I always keep up with Ravenhill at http://ravenhill.typepad.com/weblog/. Emily is so sweet, and she has great photographs and shows us beautiful Norwegian fabrics.
– Michele
I love Craft Apple.
I also love reading Pioneer Woman (especially the cooking page). New to my list this summer is http://quiltingdaze.blogspot.com/ . I like that she links to other fun blogs often.
I have so many blogs in my reader! One that I particularly enjoy is http://nikkishell.typepad.com/wardroberefashion/ – Wardrobe Refashion.
Besides reading this feed regularly, I have fallen in love with Whip Up and several other craft blogs.
I have too many on my blog roll but one I always look forward to is Rasberry. Such inspiration!
http://www.raspberry.co.uk/?feed=rss2
Oh, there’s so many I could mention! I love to read Tiny Happy and Feeling Stitchy.
I love reading Pose gets Cozy! So many cute ideas… and her dog is just adorable!
I enjoy both your blog and http://www.heatherbailey.typepad.com every morning before work Thank you for making sewing and creating so exciting and for giving people an avenue for sharing their talents. I have been so blessed to be able to learn from such talented women.
SouleMama of course! Love it.
Wow I read so many blogs. They are all so valuable in their own way. I guess that http://ayumills.blogspot.com/ Pink Penguin blog (and her basket tutorial) has been a fun read. Love that 70s fabric!
I’ve been visiting http://artsycraftybabe.typepad.com I love reading about her sewing and knitting projects.
I see the Angry Chicken has been mentioned already. But I was hooked after seeing her FOE tutorial.
Yummy Goods: http://www.yummygoods.com/blog/ she’s a new fabric designer for Free Spirit
I have to check in with Alicia at Posie Gets Cozy every day!
I’ve been frerquenting thisyounghouse.com for inspiration! Yay for free fabric!
So many great blogs that I visit regularly, but one of my faves for inspiration is Habitual at: http://habitual.wordpress.com/.
I’ve been digging Threadbangers!! http://www.threadbanger.com/ Lots of great stuff! I’m waiting for a free minute to try a shirred summer top for my niece!
That fabric is fabulous! (1974 was a great year! I was 6, and life was so simple.) That delicious fabric would make a lovely bag or a really funky apron. Some of my favorite blogs are http://www.stacysews http://www.yummygoods http://www.blissbyheather
All are creative women with lots of insight and info to share-they are all inspirational to my sewing! Have to visit those and more each day!
oh my, with all these new blogs, I am not going to get anything done! One other blog I visit is http://www.purlbee.com
I always read http://blog.craftzine.com/. I check it so many times a day, I finally set up google reader!
http://nikkishell.typepad.com/wardroberefashion/
Thanks for the question. It is fun to see what everyone is reading!
I have been watching http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/
She makes a new crockpot meal and blogs about it each new day!
I have been enjoying Sandi Henderson’s blog: http://portabellopixie.typepad.com/portabellopixie/
Great fabrics and patterns!
Oh my friends got me HOOKED on http://thepioneerwoman.com/confessions/ – it is just too hysterical and a nice balance to all the great crafting blogs out there. Plus her cooking page is delish!
Besides reading many many of the blogs mentioned above, I also read http://www.elsiemarley.com/ …
Does it have to be a sewing/craft blog? I look at canlasphotography.blogspot.com every single day and I’m never disappointed!
Sorry, should have made that a link. http://www.canlasphotography.blogspot.com Jonathan Canlas shoots film only and it’s truly an art he’s mastered. Take a look.
I like to visit http://sewforthnow.blogspot.com/ – I just love the podcasts and check every day for a new.
Soulemama is at the top of my list this summer… lots of inspiration and lovely pictures. Thanks for being so generous with your fabric!
I’ve been loving http://www.craftpad.com lately, she has good taste and some really good ideas

just one?… hmmm… I love a lot of the ones already listed (CrazyMom, SouleMama, House on Hill Road, Craft Addict…) I also like Artsy-Crafty Babe. Lately, however, I’ve found myself at http://www.needlecrafter.com/ a lot.
I am fairly new to the blogging craze, and am just crazy about it. i heart linen, has been a steady read for me all summer long. From bias tape to gingham reviews…i just love her, I mean heart her.
http://www.iheartlinen.typepad.com
I always check www. pioneerwoman.com every day. I love her take on life.
Thanks for the ‘Free fabric Friday’ opportunity!
There are so many inspiring blogs out there that it’s hard to choose just one. I guess I’ll pick the one I have visited most frequently this week: http://houseonhillroad.typepad.com/.
I just love 101cookbooks.com. She’s a vegetarian in SF, and her recipes are so delicious, and usually pretty good for you too!
Look at all the fun blogs to go and visit in every one’s comments! As if I don’t already spend enough time on the computer.
One blog I’ve enjoyed visiting this summer is The Crafty Crow: http://belladia.typepad.com/crafty_crow/ for all the great ideas of fun things to do with my kids.
I can’t get enough of Designmom!
My favorite blog at the moment is Tree Fall
http://treefalldesign.typepad.com/tree_fall/
Only one blog??? I have enjoyed so many this summer. I must admit that SMS is one of my favorites. Another favorite is Bailiwick Designs at http://bailiwickdesigns.typepad.com/my_weblog/.
I LOVE the fabrics featured today!! What a great color combination!
What a fantastic list of crafty blogs. I’ll be saving this and gradually working my way down, checking them out.
My pick? http://postsecret.blogspot.com
Not craft, but interesting.
You read my mind all the time! Everyday after checking out SMS, I check out the posts so I can find other blogs I may enjoy! This is like the total jackpot. Angrychicken is another blog that I try to check out often.
I just love visiting http://simplythisthatandtheother.blogspot.com/, she always has great things she’s made, beautiful photos and is lots of fun.
I love wee wonderfuls and angry chicken. I’ve also recently discovered grosgrain.
I love the crafty crow
http://belladia.typepad.com/crafty_crow/
It has been a life saver for entertaining my little one and my cub scout den!

To pick just one…

Hillary’s creations are just fantastic and inspiring!

KLTworks.com A local artist here in the NW began a blog for her art work, and I love what she makes – felt animals made into cute baby mobiles and more. She doesn’t update much…but I keep checking on her to see what’s new. Please stop by and leave her a note that you’d like to hear more from her….I know she’d love the response! Her art is see all over in the NW, and I think she’s “big” in Australia somehow too. Gotta love the internet!
By the way…I am LOVING the fabric on your opening entry for today. It so reminds me of the designer on Project Runway this season, named “Kenley.” I would love a Peter Pan collared shirt made of the turquoise and red.
If only I had a good pattern for that. Anybody know of any?
Hmmmmm…I forgot to make my suggested site into a link. Here goes: http://www.kltworks.com
I like Anna at ” Pleasant View Schoolhouse”>
Okay to name one would be very hard but I really enjoy Pam kitty morning I love how she makes you feel as if you’re sitting at her kitchen table visiting and for a good laugh Red Geranium Cottage. But oh gosh it looks like I’ve limited myself because alot of the others mentioned I haven’t seen. Where will I find the time?????Kathie

I discovered Melly & Me this summer and I can’t get enough.
well, honestly i’ve been visiting a few other blogs! i’ve visited Yarn Harlot the longest, but recently added CraftSylish and Wardrobe Refashion to my watch list.

I love Confessions of a Pioneer Woman. She’s so funny and has great recipes and photography tips.
I have been reading so many blogs lately, its hard to pick just one! I have really kept up with http://www.Philigry.blogspot.com though! I love seeing what creations Kate can come up with next!
I love Anna Marie Horner’s blog. So inspirational!
http://annamariahorner.blogspot.com/
http://www.momadvice.com/blog/index.htm is filled with tons of great info and great recipes and she does awesome links!
i’ve been reading the blog/vlog of john and hank green, brothers who decided to communicate textlessly for the year of 2007, and became so popular that they’ve kept at it since! they are hilariously funny–hank is the man behind ecogeek.com, and john is a wonderful young adult lit author who has already won the printz award (YA award the equivalent of the newbery or caldecott) once, and had a second book be honorable mention for it. pretty snazzy for a guy who has only published two books and is the tender age of 30. or 31. next book comes out in september. but anyway, they are a good time and good resource. they can be found at youtube by looking for vlogbrothers.
crossing my fingers for fabric! you guys are a great resource too!!!!
i’m sorry, did you mean crafty blog? oops.
i’ve just discovered angry chicken; also cerebral palsy baby (whose mom also does crafty things).
I’ve been reading a couple blogs faithfully…
One is Veronik Avery’s blog, http://www.veronikavery.com/blog/
I love her knitwear designs. She used to design costumes and moved into the knitting arena just years ago.
Another is Sugar City Journal, which I found through this site. http://sugarcityjournal.blogspot.com/
I love their darling clothes… mainly for children. I am inspired to sew things of my own when I look at their productions!
I have been reading Anna Maria Horner blog for some time. The colors…the projects..need I say anymore….
Thank you so much for letting me enter!
Angie H

These are such wonderful fabrics!
This summer I have found so many wonderful new blogs, but some of my new favorites are from the women involved in the Virtual Quilting Bee. You can see all their pieces every month at http://www.flickr.com/groups/quiltingbee/pool/. I love it! And, it is such a wonderful idea and such a unique way to get a quilt together! I can’t wait to see how everyone’s turns out.
And, thanks for posting this question. I am sure that I will get a ton of new great blogs to read from all the comments here!

I enjoy stefani at blue yonder and amanda at soulemama. Thanks!
Wow, what a great question! I’ve already discovered a few new blogs to keep up with, and I haven’t even made it though half of the posts! I’ve been enjoying angry chicken’s blog. She always has fun stuff going on.

Yeah, my blogroll has 241 feeds. I usually get excited when Heather Bailey updates, though.
Besides yours, I have been regularly checking out the blog of the Pioneer Woman. She’s such a hoot! Good for a laugh to brighten your day…
That fabric is amazing!!
The one blog I check every day without fail is http://www.findingyourself.net Of course now I’m going through and bookmarking a lot of the ones everyone else suggested!!

I check Turkey Feathers every day http://turkeyfeathers.typepad.com/
I’m pretty sure I have visited decor8 every single day this summer.
I’ve been looking at the craftycrow for inspiration – I need ideas to keep my kids occupied and out of mischief…
This is a fave of mine – http://oneshabbychick.typepad.com/one_shabby_chick/
Lately I’ve been checking on Soule Mama. How do you know when your own stuff is good enough for someone to buy it?
I’m in love with Amy’s blog over at http://angrychicken.typepad.com/angry_chicken/. I check in regularly over there, since she’s always posting something new and interesting, and not always about sewing either. She talks a lot about her home life and the new recipes she tries, and she’s apparently a vegetarian, so she’s got loads of great info about that. Plus I always go and drool over what everyone says about her book, Bend The Rules sewing, and dream about giving in and buying it before my local library carries it, lol.
I’m so loving that new fabric line! Hope I win this one, I’d be so thrilled! =0)
I. too, have been reading Wardrobe Refashion.
http://www.printpattern.blogspot.com Which is fabulous for inspiration, and of course http://www.dooce.com for my daily giggles.
Just one!? Oh well then it would have to be SouleMama. I’m a loyal reader of her blog!
I’m a big fan of http://weewonderfuls.typepad.com/wee_wonderfuls/
One of my new favorites is Average Jane Crafter…http://averagejanecrafter.blogspot.com/

Dave
Thanks for the coupon!
I didnt know if you meant crafty or not…but I have spent the summer reading this non-crafty blog. Heartbreaking story with what will be a wonderful ending…he’s a great dad. http://mattlogelin.com/
I am having trouble coming up with any new blogs that haven’t been mentioned ten-twenty times. There are even a few I have never seen! http://blog.ohelene.net/ has some nice tutorials every now and then.
I’ve added yummygoods to my rather long list
