new blog finds

August 15th, 2008 · 6 Comments

Yesterday Pat from Zen Crafting was so sweet and gave me a brilliante weblog award! Thanks Pat! I went to her blog to see who else she picked, and in following her links found lots of fun new blogs to read. First, you have to check out maya*made. Maya turned an old linen skirt and her husband’s stained T shirt into the great outfit above, and used freezer paper stencils to make the flower pattern on the bottom of the skirt. Why spend money on new clothes when you can reinvent the old ones!

Then, I fell in love with knack. I must be in a do-it-yourself kind of mood! (oh wait, I’m always in a do-it-yourself mood!) Knack is written by shop owner Barb Blair of Knack Studios, and you’ll find tons and tons of great before and after projects featured on her blog.

You can read an interview with Barb Blair and see more projects on apartment therapy!

    Ellie, I’m so glad that you were able to find some inspiration (and a new contact!) from the award. I know this is the modern-day electronic version of a chain letter (I believe it’s called a “meme”), but it’s also a great opportunity to share some blog love.
