My favorite blogs

Over at Sew Mama Sew they are asking us bloggers and sewers to reflect upon the last year and asked us to pick a question from this post

Since I’m more of an ad hoc seamstress I thought I would answer an easy question (I know, lazy cheater) -

What were some of your favorite blogs?

Katy Elliott

From her blog “A journal about new england life, decorating inspiration, andrenovating a 260-year-old house in Marblehead, Massachusetts”. Beautiful photos, very New England, and a good, sometimes a bit scary look at what goes into remodeling a vintage home.

Mimi Kirchner

Love her blog, her dolls, her craftsmanship and approachable attitude.

Sew Mama Sew

Amazing fabric selection, great patterns and excellent resource for sewers of ALL levels.  Addicting, I must warn  you.

The Long Thread

Clean design that is cheerful and reachable, and has great tutorials.  Ellen’s blog is one of my fave’s.

Bleubirdvintage

I honestly don’t know what exactly it is about this blog that I like specifically, but I’m going to say it’s the hipster vibe that draws me in.  And the family aspect, there is a great sense of family here that isn’t traditional, but warm.

Purl Soho

Um….you may not want to go here if you are trying to save money bc everything is AMAZING.  Srsly.  Hide your wallet.

It’s a new dress every day – made from an old dress.  Magic tricks with a sewing machine, presto!

Okay, I’m married to a southern guy and my BFF is southern so I love this. A Yankee living the Southern life, touches of sarcasm and appreciation laced with humor.

Kooks Ginger Boy

So simple, so beautiful, the photography is amazing and the imagery is unmatched, I look forward to her posts most of all!  And there are snails, wearing sweaters, I’m not kidding.

Yankee Crafty Bitch

Do I need to elaborate?  Okay fine.  Awesome Yankee Bitches who cook, sew, and share.

Camp is cool and Weezi is the queen!  She’s based out of Canada and has an adorable online store where you can buy ELVIS shower caps.  Nuf’ said!

Gobble Gobble! Thanksgiving Recipe Blog Hop

 

***Update*** I made a date change in the details, thanks YCB!

Hey folks!

I love Thanksgiving, and I have a few dishes I really love to make.  One of the great things about making a great meal is that you get to share it with others and see their reactions when they taste something new.  What I would like to do is share that with some of my fellow bloggers and I hope you join in the fun!

So I’m hosting my first ever blog hop, a Thanksgiving Recipe Blog Hop!  The idea is to share your favorite Thanksgiving recipe – it can be anything you want, there are no guidelines on that.

How will it work?

First, comment here so that I know you are participating, and please feel free to tweet and share so we can get a bunch of great recipe’s to share.  I’ll contact you with a reminder before the big day.

Blog about your favorite Thanksgiving recipe, and link back here to my blog, so that others can take a gander (get it, gander??) at other great recipe’s (and blogs!)!

What will I do?

I will host the blog roundup here – just email me at liznoonan@gmail.com your link or tweet it to me by midnight, Thursday November 18th so it can be up on Friday for folks shopping ahead for the feast.  Then I will post all links and pics (if you have them) here on Friday November 19th by noon EST.

Sound good to you?  Excellent!  Let’s do it!
