Why They Love It: Lisa and Sarah are a mother and daughter team from Perth, Australia. They share creative projects, original tutorials, and delicious recipes. A variety of crafts are covered -including sewing, quilting, stitchery, paper crafts, crochet, knitting and more.
Why We Love It: A Spoonful Of Sugar has some wonderful craft projects to try. The photos are beautiful to look at and I particularly love the sewing projects Lisa shares.
Why They Love It: More of a case here of why they loved it, as Diane moved on from Craft blogging back in 2015. CraftyPod started as a podcast back in 2005, and after adding a blog in ’06, was her online home for ten years. On The Craft Pod she explored creativity and her life as a maker.
Why We Love It: Although Crafty Pod is no longer being updated Diane has kept the best of the best posts. We love the quilting piecing tutorials and the Plastic Canvas Gem Ornament is amazing!
Why They Love It: Red Ted Art is all about inspiring you to have a go and be Crafty. Trying out something new and have the opportunity to be creative with your kids. Maggy and her family particularly enjoy seasonal crafts and love themed holiday projects such as Halloween, Christmas, Easter and more.
Why We Love It: The crafty ideas provided on Red Ted Art are fabulous for kids. There are easy to do kids craft that the whole family can get involved with. The holiday themed projects for Halloween and Christmas are such fun!
Why They Love It: Charlotte Lyons is an author, teacher, and artist based in southwestern Vermont. House Wren Studio is her creative home and a resource for makers and crafters around the world.
Why They Love It: Elissa’s studio in beautiful Montpelier, Vermont you will find her working with handmade papers from around the world, satin and brocade cloths, leather, and silky ribbons. She strives to create books that maintain the beauty and integrity of the materials she works with.
Why We Love It: Paper making and book binding is a craft all of its own. Elissa’s work is lovely and her Art of The Fold series is amazing!

I absolutely love House Of Earnest for the amazing inspiration. erin’s blog is perfect for inspiring, she’s the reason I got back into craft. You have to include her.
Hi Grace. Thanks so much for taking the time to tell us your fave blogger. So good Erin has inspired you to get back into craft. I will now add her blog to this list. Cheers
I have so many favourites! Pillar Box Blue and Vicky Myers creations for their great upcycles and use of denim. White House crafts for her beautiful and colourful papercrafts. AnneMarie’s Haak Blog is one of my favourite crochet sites as is the amazing Moogly and of course the brilliant Attic 24.
Is it very rude to nominate my own too?!! (Sum of their Stories)
What a list! I will for sure come back to explore! Very exciting!
My faves are most certainly Red Ted Art and Kids Craft Room for the younger generation, Skip to my Lou and Crafts on Sea for the younger and a bit older folks. But hey, I also love Mer Mag and mini eco! And I need to explore all the others! They surely are just as amazing! All winners! ^_^
Wow, what an impressive list! I am discovering new craft blogs that I have never heard of before reading this article. I am definitely bookmarking this post so I can refer to it often.
