Blog Inspiration

I was so pleased to discover as I was blog-surfing through my favorites the other day, that I received an award over at Firefly Nights!  To me, doing my best to make this blog something interesting to read, and maybe even inspiring creatively, is what its all about for me.   She wrote the sweetest note about me and the blog over at her blog, and I am just blushing thinking about it.  Thank you so much.   If you haven't seen her blog yet, you definitely should!  Stop on by and check it out when you get a chance.  So much inspiration to be had over there!

Here are the rules for the award:

1. Put the logo on your blog;
2. Add a link to the person who awarded you;
3. Nominate at least seven other blogs;
4. Add links to those blogs on your blog; and
5. Leave a message for your nominee on their blog.

Angry Chicken is one of my favorite bloggers, and has been for years.   Her creations and photographs are consistently inspiring and I never seem to leave her blog without an inkling for a new project or idea.

Robyn over at Craft With Me is inspiring to me also in that she is a good mom to three little ones, crafting and creating and always learning something new.  I think that's something that anyone with young children especially would find inspiring!  (its also her birthday this week so stop on by and say hi to her if you get a chance!)

Rachel over at Simply Abundant is one of my oldest friends, though she is more like a sister to me in so many ways.  She inspires me constantly with her creativity, class, and strength.  (its her birthday this week too so be sure to go if you have a chance to, stop on over and share some birthday love!)

Turkey Feathers is another blog that just leaves me constantly inspired, and has for years.   One of my favorite projects of hers is the blanket statement, where she refashioned an entire wool blanket into useful projects that she and her loved ones now enjoy.   With her blessing, I am going to be working on a similar project here, totally inspired by her, on refashioning a wool blanket I thrifted recently.  You absolutely have to go check out her projects, and more importantly, her blog.  I know you'll be just as inspired as I am.

Notes from a Cottage Industry is another that leaves me constantly in want of more.  The incredible sense of decor and creativity over there will capture you immediately.  I always leave there feeling like I've just been home.

Similarly, The Cottage Gals are filled with cottagey goodness.   Every time I visit that blog I leave feeling inspired to go "treasure hunting" at the thrift store or garage sales, in hopes to find 1/10th of the amazing goodness they seem to find, restore, and alter for their shop.

I wish I could sit here and list every single blog that inspires me.  There are SO SO many.  I would like to nominate every single blog on my blogroll, and then add in those in my bookmarks that have yet to be added to the blog. (soon!)  Know that every time I visit each of you I leave inspired... you all amaze me, and fuel my creativity in so many ways.

*thank you*
