Lately I have not been feeling at all crafty. I usually have a knitting project going, and have had the same pair of socks on the needles for months. Scrapbooking isn’t inspiring me at the moment and I have started a crochet pillow, but have only done a few rounds.
So, what HAVE I been doing? I have discovered the glorious world of british blogs, my favorite being www.attic24. typepad.com. Ever since the reading the book “The Shell Seekers” I have been a bit obsessed with all things British. The blogs I have discovered are full of yarn, baking, gardens, cottages and all of the cozy and domestic goodness I associate with living in England.
I can spend hours browsing these blogs, dreaming of new projects, different ways to decorate and things I would like to bake. And that’s just the problem, I do spend hours in blogland instead of actually knitting or sewing or baking or taking photos. So for now, blog reading is my hobby.
My official excuse is that I am getting inspiration for future projects.

Here I am in mid-Missouri and have been visiting blogs for a year plus and have just recently, like you, found a number of British blogs. And I am entranced with the colors, local visitas, and the coziness of it all.
Is there something in the air?
I told you last evening that I would take time today to browse your blog and already have to comment after reading your most recent post.
Now, on to the rest of your blog/archives.

Hello Debbie
It was lovely of you to stop by my blog and Im over the moon that you did! I must say, I have a similar obsession with reading blogs myself and can happily spend an age browsing through my favourites!
I will definately be coming to see yours again, off to read some more of your posts – anyone who loves the Shellseekers (one of my all time fave books) is worth hooking up with – talking of hooking…do you have any pictures of your crochet bag yet? Would love to see!
Lovely to meet you, sending love
