Thanks very much Rachael, another great addition. Thank you. Just added Ashley now. If you have any other suggestions I would love to share them with our lovely readers.
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.
Thank you for putting this together, it is truly appreciated!
Great round up! I would love it if you would include my site, https://FineCraftGuild.com with 1500 different craft projects, including those using recycled materials.
Hiya Jodie ? Got your email. You have to include MerMag. Have followed her since it was Mer Mag Blogspot. My daughter just loved the llama costume. Def worth a share too. It’s great!
Hello Anne. Great addition! Just checked out Mer Mag and added her to the list. Thanks for letting me know. If you think of any other favorites please be sure to come back and let me know.
