Nap Time Crafts follows the adventures of mum of two, Serena, as she crafts away when her little ones go down for a nap. As someone else who gets all of her creative urges out during those two blissful hours each day, it’s wonderful to see what another Mum can accomplish, and the beautiful creations that Serena makes in such a relatively short amount of time is definitely inspiring. Read Serena’s blog here. If you’re a mum (or crafty Dad!), [...]

There isn’t much to say about the Sarah London blog, other than if you’re a fan of beautiful color combination and amazing crochet pictures then you’re in for a treat. The blog makes me want to move into a gigantic loft apartment with loads of windows (self cleaning, of course!), white open spaces with bright pops of colour everywhere. For now I shall be content in my little villa, but in the meantime I will continue to read Sarah London’s [...]

SewTara.com is the website of stay at home mum of two, Tara. Based in Toronto and featuring some beautiful embroidery, sewing and crafty links. She also sells online in her etsy store, including this totally awesome double rainbow cushion – when memes meet crafts it’s always a win as far as I’m concerned. So check out her blog, have a good nosey around and take in some of the photos of beautiful crafts.

One of my favourite quotes is from Scott Adams, one that I very much live my personal and crafting life by, and even feel it’s important enough to have on my facebook page Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. CraftFail.com embraces the ones you probably shouldn’t keep. The blog is still young but already features Spam Soap, cornucopias gone wrong and a neckline that belongs in a cartoon. Unlike some blogs out [...]

This week’s WBL and the last for the year is Sew Green. January we will be focusing on reusing, recycling and reducing, it’ll be green central here as I hunt out the eco friendly blogs and tutorials to share and hopefully put up some of my own “green” projects. I stumbled on Sew Green this morning completely by accident and thought it was a great way to get the month started a little early! Sew Green is a group blog [...]

It’s been a while since the last WBL post, I just haven’t had the time lately to go hunting around for new blogs, anyone would think it was Christmas or something crazy like that. I found June, an Ohio based Mum of two a couple of days ago and loved wandering through her archives over the last couple of months since she started the blog. I’m always looking for new ideas to try with my eldest and June’s site is [...]

Pixels and Ice Cream is to thank for the brushes used in the new CB header and layout. I discovered Jen’s site via stumbleupon a couple of weeks ago and fell in love with her designs. If you’re interested in graphic design, Photoshop or digital scrap-booking then her blog is stuffed full of resources for both personal and commercial use. Even though Jen has only had the blog up for four months there’s a great range of photoshop brushes, patterns [...]

Tutorials have once again reigned supreme! With these being the most popular posts in the last [...]
