Blog Day 2011



It is always fun discovering new and interesting blogs. In honour of Blog Day this week, here are some of our current favourites from around the world.





Myrtle and Eunice (Australia) - In her own words, Tania is a "designer and craftster of the slightly obessive kind". It is always entertaining to read of Tania's latest crafting exploits - be it yarn bombing a tree, designing crazy hair, or pom poming,  you never quite know what you will find! The witty dialogue, beautiful photos, and the ability to think outside the square, makes this a delightful read.




Pink Penguin (Japan) - Ayumi has a wonderful talent of combining fun Japanese textiles in her patchwork projects to make lovely zakka items for the home. She shares lots of wonderful tutorials and snippets of her life in Japan. 




Cha de baunilha (Brazil) - Bela is one of the sweetest bloggers around! She designs and sews lots of projects for the home. Her blog is bilingual (English and Portuguese) and there are always pretty projects to admire.  





Ric Rac (Australia) - Jodie is one of the most imaginative and original crafters around, with a wicked sense of humour to boot! She designs and sews lots of adorable softies, creates wonderful entertaining stories featuring her softies, dabbles in screen printing, and can create magic with selvedges. 




Mamas Kram (Switzerland) - Doris brings creativity into all areas of her life - in her creative projects, her gift wrapping, her gardening, her home decorating. Her blog is beautifully photographed and is always a wonderful place to visit and be inspired. Doris writes in German and google translate is available in her sidebar. 



A Field Journal (USA) - Olivia is a graphic designer and designs some wonderful crafty projects for a range of craft magazines, and shares beautiful images of her work on her blog. I adore her Christmas projects. 






Hope you enjoy our recommendations. What is your favourite blog?  We would love it if you let us know in the comments so everyone can check them out and find some new favourites! We need to update our blog reader with some new inspiration.

I love these blogs, off to check out the ones which are new to me too, that Mrytle & Eunice chick Tania & hilarious Jodie from Ric Rac are favourites of mine!!
Now, i think we've both done the wrong thing - i just put my post of 6 recommended blogs too - are they meant to be new blogs, new to me or new to you?? OMG, criteria, but you've done the same thing as me, so we're in the boat/ ability to read instructions.
Love Posie
