3 of a Kind Thursday… Blogs I Love!

This Thursday I thought I would share with you 3 blogs which I love… they are the 3 blogs I can’t wait to get home to read. I don’t even need them saved on my favourites as I know their addresses off by heart. They inspire me, and delight me and add a bit of sunshine to my day… Take a look at these 3 gorgeous blogs and let them enlighten your day;

number one…

Margaurita Photography is an insight into Natasha’s life as a photographer and all things she encounters and loves along the way. She talks with honesty, passion and a little comedy… and her Wednesday sharing posts open a window to even more beautiful blogs. But the thing which I really look forward to is her photos. Her unique view of the world which makes every encounter look beautiful… look at margauritaphotographyblog.com

number two…

Carrie lives and studies in London and in her own words… “blogs daily about vintage inspired fashion and whimsical encounters” which sums up her blog perfectly. I love her style and the way she puts outfits together. My favourite highlight is ‘what I wore’ and I get so much inspiration from her looks and travels. Let Carrie inspire you at wishwishwish.net

number three…

I discovered A Beautiful Mess on one of my green tea Sunday lazy-noons, I was searching for tips on how to use my new camera. The style of her blog oozes personality and she helps with her how-to’s to inspire others. I love creative people who are not afraid to share their experiences and techniques and Elsie is one of those people. The blog is a collective of Sisters and friends bringing their passions together. Get tips on making projects, taking photos, blogging and decor… visit abeautifulmess.typepad.com on a green tea Sunday lazy-noon of your own.

Martha Stewart Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts

I borrowed a copy of this book from my friend and instantly fell in love with the images. The fabrics Martha uses are perfect and it inspires me to start making straight away

Making from the book you need a bit of sewing know how. Whilst the directions are clear, I need more visual aids. But it really inspires and kick starts that creative hamster running around in my brain and gives him a little bit of direction.

I love the tips in the how to section, it enables you to add those finishing touches.

Here are some projects which jumped off the page for me. Some I know I will be making… Some I just like to look at.

So why not let Martha inspire you to make more?…

her website is a fantastic hub of ideas… home, craft, garden, food… she’s a woman after my own heart.

Mummy

I am sure that people all over the UK are today thankful for their Mummy, but I have a special thanks for my Mummy as she is the best one anyone could have.

Not only is my Mum a Mother to me, and a supportive friend but she is also my colleague. Together we have turned a passion into a business and I enjoy every aspect of working with my Mum. Where her strengths lie, I absorb and learn from her and when my weaknesses show, she motivates me on to hopefully, one day, I will become like the amazing woman she is. (or as close a possible)
