It was so difficult to pick just 5 blogs because I have so many that I do visit and find so inspiring. My awards go to:
- Six and a Half Stitches - Allison's work and photography are amazing. I also really enjoy her writing.
- Bookhou - Arounna's work caught my eye the very first time I saw it.
- Uniform Studio - Martha's work with fabric is just amazing.
- Hoping for Happy Accidents - A very peaceful and inspiring blog to visit.
- Skinny laMinx - Heather's paper cutting and printed designs are so striking!
And I could go on and on... Liquid Paper, Emma's blog, Assemblage, Print and Pattern, Posy Gets Cozy, Angry Chicken, Kirin Notebook, Shim and Sons, Five and a Half ... Lack of talent is definitely not a problem in the blogging world.
Speaking of making my day - Yesterday, I was feeling rather irate because once again I found someone copying my work rather blatantly - and no, it's not flattering. I can understand being inspired by someone but I can never understand literally copying some else's work. It's not the first time it happens to me and I'm fully aware that it will certainly not be the last. As I was pondering all this, my little C came up to me to wish me a happy Valentine's day by offering me a page full of her pencil drawn hearts and an enormous hug (which unfortunately doesn't come too often - she's not as spontaneous with her affection as her brother). I melted to bits. She made me forget what I was thinking about and reminded me, once again, of what really matters to me. She completely made MY day.

I always find it hard to send off things people have bought - I think when it becomes something which is just churned out or made for the sake of selling, I'll quit. Until then everyone gets a piece of me. Thankyou so much for the link as well, I always find calm and peace in your blog and your work.
