Go! Baby give away
Hurrah! You perhaps know from my last two posts that I've rather fallen in love with the Go! Baby fabric cutting machine that Accuquilt kindly sent for me to play with a few weeks ago, so I'm delighted that they've also offered me the opportunity to give one away to you too.
It's a really fantastic package as if you win you'll receive: the Go! Baby machine; your choice of any three dies, from Drunkard's Path, to Half-Square Triangles (I think there are about 200 hundred to pick from); and the cutting mats that you'll need to use with them.
For your chance to win, just leave me a comment. It's not part of entry and won't double your chances of winning, but if you fancy saying something other than hello, then maybe you could leave a link to your favourite blog or just something fantastic that you've seen on your trawls recently, be it an amazing quilt, or a stunning handmade summer dress - it would be lovely to have a hand-picked fresh dose of eye candy and inspiration.

Hi Mrs Teacakes! I'd love to win this so here is my entry, and here is my inspiration.

I'm taken with her kids nature bags - would it be wrong to make one for myself (I'm 36!)??!

Hello! I have been drooling over this machine since I first read about it here.
ReplyDeleteMy current favorite blog is http://www.younghouselove.com/
It is super refreshing to see young people doing amazing things with their home for not so much money. They make buying an older house that needs work, the cool thing to do :)
Hope you enjoy it, too!
Kate Eliza
I've fallen in love with the photos of flowers on this Australian blog
ReplyDeletehttp://piecesofcontentment.blogspot.com/
I can easily see how handy a machine like this would be. Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh this machine is amazing! I've loved what you have been making with it so far - can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteThis is my one of the blogs I'm finding really inspirational at the moment -
http://thisiscolossal.com/
its an amazing art and design blog and is so different to a lot of the blogs I read but brilliant x
Ooh, I think this would help speed up my plans to make more quilts!
ReplyDeleteI suggest a visit to the Purl Bee blog - http://www.purlbee.com/. There's lots of sewing, knitting and crochet projects and tutorials, but they also have a mini quilt of the month series. I particularly love the April vegetable patch quilt.
I long to go back to New York so I can visit the Purl shop itself!
Helen
I know I probably shouldn't comment on my own give away post, but I just wanted to say, Nicky, how much I love those nature bags - thank you so much for the link! I think I may make one for my daughter - and no, I think 36 would be a perfectly acceptable wearer's age too!
ReplyDeleteKate Eliza - thank you too... oh dear, I could get stuck in their archives for a very long time - inspiring!
Thank you for the wonderful links. x
I would love a Go!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.noodle-head.com/2011/06/summer-madras-tote-pattern.html
A great tutorial!
Hello1 I've noticed several blogs having similar give-aways just lately and have entered several but to no avail. Perhaps I'll be lucky this time. Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win one of these, they look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteMy blog suggestion is http://veryberryhandmade.co.uk/
oh, teacakes...!! here are my last 2 favorites on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/38015936@N03/4840474370/in/faves-15798936@N00/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/elsanclaire/5875586289/in/faves-15798936@N00/ sure could use a HST die for this last quilt. thanks for a chance at the go!baby! elizabethlehman@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI would love one of these! Especially after reading your reviews.
ReplyDeleteThe most recent thing I've starred on my blog feed was Nette's 'candy sundress'
http://nettevivante.blogspot.com/2011/07/guest-post-at-icandy-diy-candy-sundress.html
I love the neckline she's come up with.
Can't think of a blog that's jumping out at me, there are so many I follow (including yours) but I'm loving this line of fabric. It's everything my 3 year old daughter is in love with this summer. Pinwheels, hopscotch, bikes. Just love all of it!

sallyannhat(at)aol(dot)com
Goodness Louise, that's an amazing website - I've just watched the animated rabbit video which was stunning. I must pass this one on to my husband as I think he'd love it too.
ReplyDeleteSorry if it seemed as though I were ignoring some of the suggestions - your comments have come in so quickly that more had appeared before mine by the time I published my comment.
Thank you again for the links though! x
Ooooo I would love this (like the others wouldn't, right? haha)...
ReplyDeleteI've been perusing their dies and would have such a hard time choosing.... I like the one that looks like an apple core, but also the tumbler one. Lovely giveaway!!
Ohhh I've been eyeing these cutters for a while now. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I stumbled across this additional bit of lovliness lately and am entranced. Her writing is as simple and gorgeous as her sewing.
http://katiedid.squarespace.com/katie-did-journal/2009/5/1/tutorial-flower-collar.html
This has been the coolest thing I've seen this week:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.austinkleon.com/2011/06/30/new-20x200-print-what-is-marriage/
It'd make a great quilt, don't you think?
hi florence,
ReplyDeletei'm loving your blog and are very happy to participate for this great win.
right now, i'm so in love with the blog hamburgerliebe.blogspot.com. susanne designed her first fabric and they look really really nice.

Thank you!

Hi Flossie - thank you for the chance to win this - I would love to have a play with one of these...I have joined the Brit Quilt group over on Flickr & would highly recommend it -http://www.flickr.com/groups/1647524@N20/...at the moment I am trying to pluck up the courage to join a swap group .
ReplyDeleteAmanda x
I plan on getting a Go next week, trying to decide if the Go bBaby will be good or if I need to go for the big one. Any advise?
ReplyDeleteyay this is great!
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't checked out Pintrest yet, you totally should. Plenty of eye candy over there. You create little boards with your favorite pictures and can save and repin others. Here are my boards http://pinterest.com/kittycait/
Thank you for the giveaway! One of my favorite blogs is http://www.patchworkinparis.com/ - I love her style and she is a sewing dynamo :)
ReplyDeleteI like the Moda bakeshop website. :) Lots of nice things there. I'd love to win a Go! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteOOOOO! baby! (sorry!)

ReplyDeletehttp://nanacompany.typepad.com/nanacompany/
Oh boy. With this and a quarter-inch foot, nothing can stop me...
ReplyDeleteOhhhh wow-what I could do with one of these! Go baby!
ReplyDeleteWow! I would love one, especially as they are quite expensive, but look a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteOf course, Pinterest. Love the unlimeted inspiration on it!
Also, I saw in your last post that you were after quilting tips. Chain piecing really speeds up the process, you simply feed on piece through the machine as the other finishes. It saves thread and it so much quicker and easier!!Have fun on you ltest quilting endeavours (:
Hi, I thank you for giving me a chance to win this machine. I always wanted one. I am new to the computer, just got a site up and am only finding blogs. I do like yours, and want to follow you.
ReplyDeleteMy gallelry is at:

ReplyDeleteHello!!! I'm such a newbie to the sewing world, all these lovely suggestions are fantastic. You are all my inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteHi Flossie,
ReplyDeleteI think your blog deserves being on the inspiration list, I love trying to recreate (laughingly) your projects and although I never get the quality results you do I have great fun trying. xx
Duh! I forgot my link (Sorry I didn't do it on purpose!)

Thanks for the great block tutorial yesterday!
ReplyDeleteI would very dearly love to win a Go Baby
ReplyDeleteI'm taken with quite a few bloggers but Jimmy McBride is one the the more offbeat and remarkable ones
http://intergalactictransport.blogspot.com/
He upcycles fabric into truly amazing pieces and then hand quilts them. I'm constantly amazed at his skill, ingenuity and vision and will make a bee-line for his blog during time out.
Hope you like it too
Rosanne
I think this would be the kick I need to finish a quilt!
ReplyDeleteFor a bit of lovely inspiration check Amy's Farmer's wife blocks.. I'm green with envy :)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/alobsiger/sets/72157626924106514/
Love your posts on the GO! I've been wanting one for awhile. Thanks for a chance of winning one.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you've seen my blog lately, but I've recently posted a neat art tote that my dd loves :)
Ooooh boy! You'll get loads of comments. Who wouldn't want a chance to play with a machine like that? The squares from your previous post are lush.
ReplyDeleteAwesome-- I was just telling my coworker about the gorgeous quilt you're blogging about!!
ReplyDeleteWould love one of those. I thought this on Gina's blog was very clever.
ReplyDeletehttp://ginaferrari.blogspot.com/2011/07/guerrilla-embroidery.html
Will have to pop back here to ry all the other links!
Hello....how kind of you to share nicely! As a kind of PIF, if I won I would pass it on to another overexcited stitcher after I had had my fill. I spent a large part of my day (when I should have been doing sums at work) dreaming of all the lovely things I could make and laughing (and shedding a tear) at pings and needles's blog.... Brilliant! X
ReplyDeleteI do love a give away, especially one as amazing as this one! Thanks for the opportunity and Happy Sewing!
ReplyDeleteOooh, me me me! I'd love to win this, that way I don't have to continue persuading my husband that he needs to buy me one! Feminine guile doesn't work as well when you are in the fat face and swollen ankles stage of pregnancy!!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite blogs for quilts is this one:
http://dontlooknow.typepad.com/dont_look_now/
She makes THE most gorgeous appliqué quilts and cushions that are to die for. One of these Go! Baby cutters would make one of these quilt designs so much more accessible to the likes of me!
ps. I am really enjoying discovering even more crafty blogs to waste my time reading thanks to all these comments!
Enjoy reading your blog for inspiration and another suggestion I enjoy is http://www.saucysprinkles.com/ This lady is truly enjoying her life, her family and especially her beautiful teenager and her friends. Her blog inspires me in the kitchen and the craft room.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a Baby Go will inspire me further :-) so thanks for giving us the chance to win.
Hi Flossie. I'd never heard of this machine but now that I have I'm thinking I need one!
ReplyDeleteThere's so many blogs that I love to read. Some have already been mentioned but others that I find inspirational at the mo are http://attic24.typepad.com/ for crochet goodness and http://marmaladerose.blogspot.com for beautiful pictures and stunning machine embroidery/sewing
Wow! What a great piece of kit.
ReplyDeleteI'm not telling Mr Kat about this as he would get a little excited about the end of his days as 'The Cutter' - will be keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you x
ReplyDeleteCheck out this new Australian show :"Made by Hand".
ReplyDeleteEpisode 2, Part 1 has a wonderful quilt maker:
http://www.madebyhand.net.au/index.php/styl
Thanks for the chance to win.
Andi :-)
The only great blog I've found recently is not craft related but it is adorable it's called Cute Overload and features cute baby animals and such. It's nice to have one moment of Squee per day in order to counteract the grinding misery of the British Summer ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi! What an awesome machine. Would love to use one. Thanks for
ReplyDeletesharing!!!
hkordsmeier(at)gmail(dot)com
When I first saw this coming out I decided I didn't need one. Then I started seeing all the versatile things it could do popping up all over blogland so I am changing my mind and throwing my virtual hat into the ring to try and win one!
ReplyDeleteFor an interesting website may I recommend http://www.guernseyimages.com/ which gives you some lovely images of my part of the world.

ReplyDeleteHi Flossie!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently on vacation, and I haven't seen much inspiring except my 2 beautiful grandchildre
Wow. This is a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could share something more right now. It's actually my first day in over month looking at blogs. I'm selling house and my beloved sewing room has been packed away--so I haven't wanted to be inspired. For this handy new tool--I'd work on my machine in the basement!
i'd love to win, i've been dying to play with one of these, they look like so much fun! as i'm in the home stretching of wedding planning (the big day is in 2 months), all the eye candies i've been interested in as to do with weddings and parties, but eye candies are eye candies right? in case you are interested, this is my favourite wedding blog: stylemepretty.com

ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity - they look like such useful little machines, especially for cutting circles.
ReplyDeleteI love all the inspiration to be found over at pinterest
http://pinterest.com/spoonfulofsugar/

ReplyDeleteNot much inspiration right now, I'm too busy pinning funny quotes! Chuckle
I'm a little late to Pinterest. lol
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win an indispensible tool!
ReplyDeletehttp://lilysquilts.blogspot.com is great for quilting inspiration and fun too!

Oh I would love one of these, I've been thinking about "investing" for some time now but the only thing stopping me is that I might be compelled to use up some of my favourite (and now rare!) stash of fabrics and actually make something with them...
ReplyDeletehttp://projectsbyjess.blogspot.com/2011/07/yellow-maxi-dress-from-vintage-sheet.html
ReplyDeleteI really liked this project but im not sure if I have a sheet suitable. Will need to go through my vintages sheets now. Its a nice way to use them without cutting up the beautiful patterns

ReplyDeleteTa muchly
Thanks for the chance to win Florence. I am loving www.spincushion.com at the moment.
ReplyDeletefab fab fab. I would soo love to win a Go! Baby - then I would be the envy on my younger sister, who is 8 years younger and completely lovely, but having one of these would compensate for the extra wrinkles I have! Mad logic I know.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, take a look at the following link for the most divine tea towels you ever saw in your life
http://www.todryfor.com/alltowels.asp?show=all

Even if I don't win the go baby gadget, my threads will be in a happier place! Thank you for a lovely blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity!

Love living vicariously through this blog in rural America on a farm. Not sure I could actually do it myself, but love watching them.
Oh, how cool! Thanks for the chance to win! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for the shirred headband tutorial. I've got a niece coming soon and just might have to try making one for her. :)
Nice give away! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteOOOHHH! I would love to win a GO! I find myself frequenting http://alemonsqueezyhome.blogspot.com/...always has great ideas.
ReplyDeleteOh Florence, I am so glad it's not me that's got to read through all these comments! If you haven't seen it already, I'm sure you'll find some things you love on http://thesillyboodilly.blogspot.com/. But actually the best thing I've seen online this week is this New York City Ballet film on iPlayer: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b012c79g/NY_Export_Opus_Jazz/ . And that led me to the NYCB Youtube channel and a short video about ballet shoes, which I found fascinating (and it involves sewing): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkNb_HQjsMg . Enjoy! x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I've been enjoying the Film in the Fridge blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Florence,
ReplyDeleteI'd love a chance to win this awesome gadget! I am getting into quilting and welcome anything to streamline the process.
Here is a blogspot that I find to be helpful and inspirational
thehappyhousewife.com
Enjoy! And thanks for this opportunity :-)

This looks like such a fun tool! I can't think which blog is my favorite, but I'm going to have to check out some of these that the others are suggesting.
ReplyDeleteThe Pretty (little) Pouch Swap on Flickr is amazing. Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteJudith.
This looks like such fun! Here's some inspiration

I follow her blog and just fell in love with this quilt!
Hi there Flossie, I would love to be in with a chance of winning the Go Baby, I've been drooling over your blog and those of other sewing geniuses for so long but have never actually made anything as I get paralysed by the fear of miscutting all the lovely fabric and getting squiffy results. This would actually spur me into making stuff instead of just buying pretty fabric!
ReplyDeletebowierat(at)hotmail dot com
Thanks for organizing this giveaway! I'm itching to try a strip baby quilt inspired by your rainbow quilt from last week... But I'd happily play with the Go! Baby too!
ReplyDeleteWow. That machine looks amazing. I would love to have a go with it. Thanks for the chance to win it.

Both amazing!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful giveaway thank you. Places of sometimes just too much inspiration for me is of course Flickr and Pinterest.... just too much to choose just one.
hollydippold(at)yahoo(dot)com
Oooo yes please I'd love to win! I would save SO much time if I had one of those.
ReplyDeleteMy fave blog at the mo is henhousehomemade.blogspot.com it's brim full of glorious vintage fabrics made into all kinds of goodies including quilts. Also take a look at Aug. edition of BBC Homes & Antiques mag for a sneaky look at her weekend hideaway home in Somerset......I want one of those too!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway! One of my favorite blogs is http://duringquiettime.blogspot.com . Amy has some great projects going on over there!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!
ReplyDeleteMy latest favorite thing to sew is the Grab 'n' Go Diaper Clutch by Sew Fun. A photo of the latest one I made is over at http://senecastreetstudios.blogspot.com/2011/05/diaper-clutch-for-laura.html

I read the archive when I need cheering up

Hello!
ReplyDeleteI'd say that Pinterest is my go to place for inspiration right now. Have you tried it?
Here's my boards, http://pinterest.com/knittybitties/. I have ones for quilting, sewing and needle work along with a lot of other things ;). So fun to pin things!
What a great giveaway! Have you noticed how many quilts lately have included embroidered blocks? Inspiring!
ReplyDeleteHi Florence! Thank you so much for the chance to win a Go! Baby.
ReplyDeleteI read lots of different blogs (incl. yours) so it's difficult to mention only one here but I do love Christina's jewellery on
http://www.alittlebirdtoldme-craft.com
I've just been bitten by the quilting bug after seeing your blog and others like it whose creativity and drive and talent have produced some amazing results. And i'd love to join the ranks of the quilting-obsessed. Thanks for another chance to win a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleterozgonyi(at)mts(dot)net
Hi! I love your blog and would love a chance to win this one. I see so many inspiring things on my 'blog travels' that it's hard to pick just one! But here's the most recent that I thought was pretty awesome:
ReplyDeletehttp://weburbanist.com/2011/07/05/knock-on-wood-then-drive-it-28-crazy-wooden-creations/
I love wood burning but I'm nowhere near this talented with wood. Someday I hope to build my own shelf and table but that's as far as it goes!
sewlori27@yahoo.com
Oh, this is one awesome invention, who wouldn't love to play with it?
ReplyDeleteAs for inspiration, at the moment I'm totally smitten with the sewing patterns from Citronille. I think you would like them too.
http://www.citronille.fr/
The devoted fans publish their handiwork, great for evaluating if a pattern/fabric works for you.

Enjoy! Have a great summer,

Wow Great prize, I will spread the word. I love the Cloud 9 blog, such gorgeous fabrics and some great projects.
ReplyDeleteI'm a quilter and I'd LOVE to have one of these machines! (Thanks for the chance.)
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, since your blog on SHIRRING, I've become addicted to making these:
http://sewlikemymom.com/the-shirt-skirt/
Far from haute couture, but SO comfortable (and so quick)!
newsgroupie--comcast--net
I'm really lovi ng this at the mo... http://www.sarahwaterhouse.co.uk/ I'm sure these would look great in a quilt... :o)
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. I find it very inspirational. I just started quilting late last year. I have sewn for years but now have the quilting bug.
ReplyDeleteCan't think of a blog (other than mine) so here us my lads favorite joke. What is a super heros favorite part of a joke? The punch line.
ReplyDeleteI came here to find a tutorial for a zippered pouch and find a fab competition at the same time - wonderful! thank you very much (for both things). Nina
ReplyDeleteWow - great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite blog is http://quiltville.blogspot.com/ Not only does Bonnie never seem to stand still for more than a minute, her quilts are fabulous!
Thanks for a brilliant giveaway Ms Teacakes! Would love to win this, what a timesaver. My most inspiring blog at the moment is http://celebratelifewithus.blogspot.com , I check back everyday to follow the story of an American couple living in Korea who have just adopted a 3 year old girl from Ukraine. Such a touching story and so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteWow this would be so much fun! I saw this Periodic table for sewing and thought it was too good to keep to myself http://scientificseamstress.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-sewing-lab-free-geektastic-printable.html
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
I would love a Go! Baby
ReplyDeleteHaving just gone off to see the Go Baby I can only say "Blimey, thats expensive!". I'd have to make a lot of quilts to make it worthwhile. Mind you, that would be a good excuse...
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of buying another ruler today, but a nice new cutter like this would be much more fun, wouldn't it? (and who doesn't like to play with shiny gadgets!!) - thanks for the chance to win one (fingers crossed!!) - here are a couple of blog suggestions if you haven't already come across them: Rita at Red Pepper Quilts (http://www.redpepperquilts.com/) who makes quilts so fast she must have a room full of Acuquilt cutters working 24/7 (only jealous :o) and Home Shopping Spy (the blog of Ideal Home mag) - http://homeshoppingspy.wordpress.com/. I love the way that Ellie (the editor) writes and she posts some great pics - oh, and her love of E's (the letter E, that is) is quite funny! Thanks again (fingers still crossed) xx
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to win one of these, my wrist would appreciate the lack of rotary cutting....

Hello Florence
ReplyDeleteI have been sneaking peeks at your blog for more than a year - it is a lovely pick-me-up - and encourages me to fit in my sewing and making as well as work! I'd love to win the Go Baby but even if I was to be so lucky I don't think it would be possible to receive it in Australia? Anyway I'm commenting just in case. I don't have any craft link at the moment, but http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/ is a great place to visit if you want a moment of commiseration (and laughs) when something hasn't turned out quite as you'd hoped.

Hello Florence
ReplyDeleteI have been sneaking peeks at your blog for a while now - it is a lovely pick-me-up and encourages me to make the time to fit in sewing and making with work and family! I would love to win the GoBaby but even if I was so lucky doubt that it could be received in Australia? Anyway I'm commenting just in case. I don't have anything new in the craft links at the moment, but I turn to http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/ for a spot of light relief when something I'm fiddling with doesn't quite turn out as planned.

I have wanted one of these since I first heard about them. My favorite blog is always quiltville.com
ReplyDeleteGreat giveway. My main source of inspiration is Pinterest, lots of lovely crafty inspiring projects
ReplyDeleteWould love to own one of these machines - would make cutting out so much easier and quicker. I love Summerfete's blog too and Dottie Angel's blog.
ReplyDeleteHello Florence, Glad to hear you love your Go! I was glad to see one come out that is more reasonably priced, but the price of the dies has kept me away. Would LOVE to win one from you.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite link is one that I just found today from Jennifer at Ellison Lane quilts. The inspiring quilts that she has pinned are the same as my inspirations. Here's the link: http://pinterest.com/ellisonlane/inspiring-quilts/
And I'd never tried pinterest either, what a bonus!
Fingers and toes crossed,
Pam

Wow - this looks super cool :) I'd love to enter, please :)
ReplyDeletemrspao (at)gmail(dot)com
I think it might be a bit late by now but I am going to say it anyway...please, please pick me. I've somehow missed this machine but now I know about it I would really like to play with it.
ReplyDeleteHave you visited http://redpepperquilts.com and seen Rita's colourful modern quilts? I am in love with all of them.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI have been drooling over and checking out this machine and different price packages on the web for quiet sometime. If I don't win it here, I will defnitely own this machine someday in coming years when I get time to return to my corporate job when my son goes to first grade.
Till that time I will continue to drool over "Go baby" and have a happy dream about this machine Bernina 830LE (http://www.berninausa.com/content-n993-sUS.html) which cost a whopping 13,000 USD.
Thanks for the giveaway Flossie.
I would love to win this!
ReplyDeletekitraz13 at hotmail dot com
I just saw this machine at my local quilt shop. Just think, less time cutting more time to quilt :)
ReplyDeleteHi, I'd love to win one of these amazing little machines so thanks for the chance to win. One of my favourite new blogs is about yarnbombing -
ReplyDeletewww.squidoo.com/yarnbombing
It's described as artful anarchy but I love the amazing looking things that are created.
Hello Florence,
ReplyDeletethank you for that great giveaway!
At the moment I kind of feel in summer/sea/holiday mood and like to browse through Sarah's blog "A beach cottage" (http://www.abeachcottage.com/) for inspiration.
Maybe you like it, too.
Claudia
Wow what an amazing giveaway, I've just come back from trading at a camper van festival just on the staffordshire, shropshire border so if I'm not to late, I'd love to enter into the draw.
ReplyDeleteAlso I really enjoy reading Our Handmade Journey's blog, they've got a real way with words & paint an enchanting picture of their lives! http://www.ourhandmadejourney.blogspot.com/

Hey there,
ReplyDeleteI've recently discovered your blog and love your style - have been trawling my way through your archives!
I'm not sure if you've heard of it but one of my favourite crafting websites is www.cutoutandkeep.net - I can spend hours on there! x
Hi! I'm sure you all know it but it's the first craft blog I read and it inspired me to start sewing again. What is it? U-handblog by Lisa Lam of course.
ReplyDeletehttp://u-handbag.typepad.com/uhandblog/
Florence, I'm quiet amazed that your inbox hasn't fallen over, you have so many responses!
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't looked at http://theblackapple.typepad.com/ you really should take a look. A lovely mix of every day, sewing and the most wonderful illustrations. Enjoy!
Best wishes
