I would like to share with you some of my favorite blogs. I have 144 subscriptions in my Google Reader, so there is a lot to love. Here is just a taste of some of my favorite crafty blogs this month.
kojo designs – Jordan and Kristin are quite the talented pair. I discovered them through So You Think You’re Crafty and I am always amazed to see what they come up with next – like a doll stroller turned doll buggy, plenty of ruffles for little girls, and gorgeous home decor. If you don’t feel like DIY, you can check out their Etsy shops kojo baby and kojo designs.
Made By Rae – I’ve loved her blog since I made her Buttercup Bag in June 2009. Rae has always seemed down to earth and real to me despite her blog being crazy popular. Maybe it is because she lives in Southeast Michigan (where I grew up)? Made by Rae has hosted Spring Top Week the last two years and co-hosted Celebrate the Boy (returning again February 2011!).
Miss Sews It All – I found Erika on Twitter and she quickly become one of my crafting buddies. She is one knowledgeable women with a BFA in Fiber Arts and experience working as a “National Sewing Educator” for Bernina. I’m really enjoying her hand sewing series she has just started out and her bold fabric choices make me smile.
No Big Dill – I don’t know why it has taken me so long to get hooked on her blog. I’ve must have seen her guest-post or featured on other blogs 3 or 4 times before I subscribed. Which is just silly, because her photos are gorgeous, her projects stunning, and she has FIVE beautiful girls. Now that is the kind of blogger I can get behind. 🙂 Some highlights: Ruffled Leggings designed by her daughter, the Billy Cardi, and the Biased Skirt.
Delia Creates – I first encountered Delia when she guest posted for MADE’s Celebrate Yellow Week. Then subscribed after seeing The June Bride’s version of Delia’s Fall Wreath. I love her style, her photos and her willingness to share her “how you do it” details.
Who’s in your Top 5?
Thank you, thank you, Jodi! What an honor!
You are very welcome, O’ Talented One. 🙂
Thanks for introducing me to some new ones – as if I need even more blogs to read 🙂 I’m a huge Made by Rae fan – and not just because i’ve met her a couple of times (yay SE Michigan!). But I’m also a huge Wee Wonderfuls, Angry Chicken, and Posy Gets Cozy fan.
I’ve never heard of Posy Gets Cozy. I’ll have to look her up. 🙂
I love all the blogs I have found through your shared google reader articles! 🙂 Thank you!!!!

Thanks for the links, Beth! I’m totally not a knitter, but it was fun poking around those blogs.
hey dude! thanks for the shoutout!
am trying v. hard to be “down to earth” right now as claimed (5 cups of coffee today not helping) but it’s hard when you post nice things like this that make my head so BIG.
If you ever get high falootin’, I’ll give you a virtual kick in the pants. In the meantime, you are doing great! 🙂
(I wish I could have 5 cups of coffee. I can barely keep my eyes open and now I have to haul 3 kids to the doctors. without naptime. sigh.)
Also, I’m hoping that you might be hosting a SE MI crafty night between Christmas and New Years. Pretty please? 🙂
