Around the Net: Bags (entry 37)
Happy Remembrance Day to all of us Canadians
Thank you to those who have fought for us, those who are fighting and those who continue to fight for our freedoms as we are forever grateful.
Around the Net I go… and as I browse all the wonderful blogs out there in blog land, I try to keep a list of all the cool things I stumble upon with the intentions of sharing with you : )
Today is no exception. DIY Bags is a cool blog all about bags, of course and as you browse through the site you will find a collection of all types of interesting bags. Some to take grocery shopping, others to our sewing meet-ups or for guild giveaways, or even to stuff full of little trinkets and give away as gifts.
As a quilter/blogger I really felt a connection to DIY Bags. It has such a great collection of free tutorials with clear descriptive pictures and links to originating articles… “what a good idea”.
To help get your creative juices flowing, here’s a sneak peak at 4 very different styles and colours.
Until next time, have a great day! Valerie
Review (entry 36)
For this weeks review, I thought I would give you some insight to blogging and to let you know a little about an excellent book I found at Chapters (here’s a link to Amazon) called Blogging for Bliss.
It’s written by Tara Frey and it’s loaded with inspiring blogs in the arts and creativity world with an emphasis
how an online journal is a great outlet for our passions and stories and they are to be shared amongst like individuals. She discusses a number of platforms, techniques to enhance and embellish blogs and blogging for profit.
Currently I read about a 100 blogs focussing mostly around quilting, crafting and sewing… but I also enjoy other interests like Urbane Bliss a blog from Lisa Jones as she discusses her kids, politics, religion, parenting and many other daily topics.
If you have a blog that you would like me to read or comment on, please send me a link.
