Wednesday’s Weekly Reader: Craft Week 1

On 04, Mar 2010 | No Comments | In Design Life, Inspiration | By Lorraine

So blogging has been on the back-burner the past week due to long hours at work combined with an apartment hunt. In any case, this month’s Weekly Readers are going to focus on craft inspiration since March is actually National Craft Month. I don’t know about you, but I get a lot of inspiration from the Handmade and DIY communities. First up? Carina of Carina’s Craftblog, which I started reading after a link by Celestina (also an excellent crafter in her own right!).

Carina has a great sense of color: something that I find to be the most inspiring about her work since my natural tendency is to gravitate towards muted colors. Below are some of my favorites that she has posted about over the past year. She also posts free patterns and tutorials in addition to blogging about her work.

  1. I didn’t know you had a blog, but now I do, and I lurv Carina’s work. I’m adding you to my list, and also I still have your bracelet! I guess I could go ahead and do something with it already right?

      I’m so glad you found me, Emmy! And I’m glad you like Carina’s work too: her blog is rather addictive. I’m sending you an email to discuss the bracelet: I’d forgotten you still had it!
