Funny….I see some themes. Fruits and veggies and lots of pretty fabric. Not that surprising, huh? If you click on the mosaic, it should take you to flickr where you can see the credit for all these lovely photos.
I’ve been working on the blog a bit – see the new banner and flickr badge? I need to update my links in a BIG way. I am wondering if any of you use blogrolling or have used it. Any insight there? I want my links to be organized (alphabetical order, specifically) and I can’t figure out how to do that in Typepad without reworking the whole link list. Last time I did it, it took something like two hours. See why I have been remiss in updating? Any advice you want to pass on would be welcome!
In the meantime, here are some blogs that I have been enjoying recently:
Mia Stella – Marcia, my real life, in the flesh, craft swap friend is an extremely talented photographer and all around crafty gal.
good-ness – Leslie lives in Japan and has a wonderful aesthetic. I especially love her photos and am extremely jealous of her proximity to not one, but a few good fabric stores.
Blue Yonder – Stefani is a loving, caring mama to three boys. She has a quick wit and paints beautiful pictures with her words. I wish I knew her in real life.
Plush-a-holic – Dawn is sooooo talented and makes the most beautiful stuffed creatures. See those conjoined rabbits in the top row, third photo. Yep, those are hers and I think they are just brilliant.
wiksten-made – Jenny designs clothes. Really cute, fashionable clothes. I wish I had that talent. I also wish I lived closer to her so I could take pattern grading lessons. Really. I would pay money to have someone teach me how to do that.
OK – that’s it for now. Hopefully, I will get my links figured out soon. Happy Thursday!

Thanks so much for mentioning me and saying such wonderful stuff about me and my work. You are too kind. Also thanks for all the really great blog links. Love all the improvements you have made. xoxoxo
love the colors in those photos…i just want to eat them up!
and i am off to explore the links…such a nice break from editing today…
I like your new banner, and thanks for sharing some new links (like I need more blogs to read!). There is a typepad setting to alphabetize your links easy peasy. Email me if you want specifics.
I love the new banner. And I’m still planning on getting some of those labels.
thanks for sharing, erin – i’ve already found at least one new blog to subscribe to! š
YAY for four new blogs to enjoy! Thanks so much for posting these!
Erin: Hope it is cool and breezy in CO today..because it hit 98 today in KY!
Thanks for the mention!
I was just playing around with that flickr picture tool last night. I need to work on some more as it would not work for me!
I added a workout list…not that anyone cares but it is a reminder to get out there and swim and bike!
Plus if you lived close to Jenny- you’d live REALLY close to me!
The blog looks good!
Thanks for the new links:)
I’ve put all my links on a separate page because I was just getting too many of them and they looked messy. But I have noticed that there are fewer clicks on them since I did that. I use bloglines for reading.
looks good! š
Blue Yonder is the best… Stefani is super wholesome š We’re doing a swap this summer (we’re both breaking our swap-virginity) and i’m pretty excited to see what she puts together š
I use bloglines. I like it, but feel a little stress when i see how much there is to read. But it’s easy to use… and then i just put my very favs on my blog.
I like your flickr mosaic. thanks for the new links…so much fun.
yes, it is great to find new blogs………….thanks!
i now understand why my blog had many hits today. thanks for the kudos! i also am enjoying wiksten-made. loads of creative people out there. (including you!) am loving it.
you’re blog is looking lovely – i need to spiff mine up, too.
and great new links – i’ll be adding some new ones to my bloglines.
gotta hit some of those links! thanks! and i love the new banner!
love the photos. i organize the blogs i read through bloglines…but i dont post them on my site for the same reason you state here – it’s been a nightmare in the past trying to keep them all neat + tidy. although i know that you can export your bloglines list right onto your blog and just keep them organized in bloglines – which is an easy + quick task.
i use typelists to show bloglinks on my page— it gives you the option to organize them alphabetically
i use bloglines to actually read them though
A link in another blog brought me to Dawn’s blog this week, too, and I’m loving it! I use bloglines to keep track of what I haven’t read yet, but of course have no idea how to use it to help you organize your links. Oh, the chore of blog-keeping! I do love your new look.
