Happy World Blog Day

I read about World Blog Day in a few different places and thought it was a good idea.  Here are the guidelines if you want to post on your own blog (and if you do, please leave a comment so I can take a look at the sites you list).

BlogDay posting instructions:
1. Find 5 new Blogs that you find interesting
2. Notify the 5 bloggers that you are recommending on them on BlogDay 2005
3. Write a short description of the Blogs and place a a link to the recommended Blogs
4. Post the BlogDay Post (on August 31st) and
5. Add the BlogDay tag using this link: http://technorati.com/tag/BlogDay2006 and a link to BlogDay web site at http://www.blogday.org

So.  Here are my five new blogs:

1.  43 Folders.  I just found this today through the latest Whip Up post.  I’ve downloaded and listened to the podcast, which I like quite a bit.  The site is dedicated to personal organization and productivity, one of those things that come and go in my life (I want it to come back, by the way). 

2.  Indie Shopper.  Also found through Whip Up (apparently my resource for everything!), this site is great if you’re interested in buying goods from Indie companies.  My ex started an indie recording studio/label over ten years ago, and since then, I’ve tried to support indie businesses over big corporate giants, and this site gives me more resources.  Plus there is that adorable embroidery bag tutorial that I MUST make!

3.  Turkey Feathers.  I’m smitten with a thrift/sewing/vintage-y kind of feel in blogs of late, and this is one I’ve been enjoying.  Everything just looks so pretty on her blog.

4.  Bella Dia.  From the adorable illustrated banner (hmmm…I like those illustrations!) to the lovely photos of her studio, and again with the thrift/vintage, etc. feel, this site has some good tutorials, too.  Um.  That was a really poorly written sentence.  Sorry.  The sentences on Bella Dia are not poorly written.

5.  Needle Book.  Another discovery just today, found from clicking on Bella Dia’s blogroll.  ‘Cause that’s how I like to spend my time once in a while.  Clicking the blogrolls of others.  So Needle Book makes lovely illustrations (including her wedding invitations…go look!), and she also makes really pretty sewn, knit, and crocheted items. 

I’ve got other things to post about later, but do leave me a comment if you participate in World Blog Day, ok?
