:rotfl: What a relief -I thought they were probably pseudonyms for the children's protection. Hmm.... what would I call mine- Bolshy, Dozy and Drama Queen

This isn't a bad one from USA either. More of a blog format but nice recipes.

This is one of the best websites I've ever seen. The pictures are just fab. So much of it can be achieved with inspiration (or just copying her), and second hand stuff.

Hi Moanymoany
Please remember there is a limit to how many blogs you can recommend, I've already explained this to Ceridwen on another thread. Failure to comply means I have to send in the heavymob, who will be armed with chocolate brownies.
If I start reading many more blogs I'll have to give up work & sleep, to keep up with them I find them so addictive. Thanks.

Chocolate brownies? ummm! - just off to find a few more blogs. I'll get the kettle on - hope the "heavy brigade" are goodlooking!

I agree. I reckon it would be nice to have a thread where people post pics of their thrifty finds, ie charity shop/car boot sale bargains that people have bought and done up etc like those on the homespun living blog. To give inspiration that style can be done on a budget and give inspire each other like you said moany.

I agree with everyone who loved this - I wish I lived in an environment like that! It almost made me want to get the paintbrushes out to my kitchen cupboards, but mine would end up with drips and runs down them and hers look so professionally finished. I liked the ironing table too. Beautiful house!

I've just started reading blogs and the 'crafty' ones are really inspirational! I've even bought some fabric and intend to do some sewing (just as soon as I find the foot pedal, that is :rolleyes: ).
