I find the layout a bit too cluttered for my tastes, but there are some good ideas at DIY Home Sweet Home. I particularly like her tutorial for an ultra-simple firewood carrier.

If you haven’t discovered Karen’s blog, The Graphics Fairy, yet, you’re missing out on a great resource. Amongst other things, Karen collects and shares vintage images for others to use in their artwork and craft projects. Some gorgeous inspiration there!
Can’t Stop Making Things

How can I resist a craft blog with a name like Can’t Stop Making Things? (I can’t, of course!) I like their focus on practical crafts, rather than goofy things that have no relation to Real Life. That’s not to say that there’s no whimsy, because there’s plenty of that; I particularly like their Book Box tutorial.

Jordan’s Oh Happy Day blog has a wonderful DIY section, full of modest and practical ideas, and cheerful colors. Her instructions are clear and often illustrated with step-by-step photos, and I’m finding myself intrigued to try several for which I have no personal need but which just look like fun to do!http://www.literatepackrat.com/blog/

Those of you with little ones might particularly enjoy Dionne’s Passengers on a Little Spaceship blog. The post that caught my eye there was one that was all over Pinterest a week or two back, her paper star lantern tutorial. Yes, it’s origami. No, it’s not horrifically hard (seriously — she has great step-by-step photographs), and the results are extremely pretty.

Crafting, in my book, is not limited to glue and paint and fabric — it includes food as well. The other week I came across The Hidden Pantry, Diane Cosby’s blog of food and family. The post that caught my eye was “Produce Codes Explained“, but there’s plenty more there to keep me — and perhaps you, too — reading. The recipes are clearly written and beautifully photographed (note to self: really must get a new camera, and soon), and the variety is impressive.
