The other one is Design Sponge which I only found recently, possibly through a Pin, and which has a range of inspiring posts each day, from business promotion to collections of cool, trendy and sometimes funky things to drool over. One such collection that I saw on Monday contained examples of trendy 'cosy blankets and throws' such as these:
Hmm, I thought, those look an awful lot like potential quilt patterns, and so many basic shapes that one could easily whip up. If one had the time *ahem*
So what sites do you follow for eye candy? Link me up!
look at all of this eye candy!
ReplyDeleteNice b & w stuff. My main non quilty blogs would be cooking.
ReplyDeleteRepeat after me - I have 38 UFOs, I have 38 UFOs.
I'm a bit one dimensional on the blog front so perhaps I need to spread my creative wings a bit more (sorry that was a bit Oprah)...love Design Sponge - very cool!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, now I really want a sunny-side up egg! And that's all I can think of, so no designy linkies from me. :}
ReplyDeleteYup, since there are only a few teddy bear blogs I follow some doggy blogs, kitty, dolly, YOU, Jock, Jack, The Clan, Sebastian, Wil, Wilbur, Honeypot Lane bears, Bellamine & Wendy - gee, there are move bear's blogs than I thought. Yippee.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I love design sponge! And thanks for the tip about design seeds - I'm off to check it out!
ReplyDeleteLol at Sheila. I think she's right! Therefore I'm not telling you any of the design related blogs/sites I follow, mwah ha haaa.
ReplyDeleteChez Larsson - Benita is another of my design/home crushes xxx
ReplyDeleteI can't keep up with my favourite bloggers as it is, I am not looking at this post.
ReplyDeleteI follow How about Orange
ReplyDeletehttp://howaboutorange.blogspot.co.uk/
There is always something fun to see,
will definitely have to check out those two too though.
Lol at Sheila's comment (although its probably less now knowing you!) Love design seeds, but otherwise it's just quilty goodness for me :o)
ReplyDeleteDesign Sponge is fun! I like Print&Pattern. I must admit I have trouble keeping up with visiting my quilting blogs so not much room to add more.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely sites! Haven't used anything like these before! Jxo
ReplyDeleteI'm not so good a finding inspiration, it either comes or it doesnt! By the time I've read and commented on blogs I dont have any more time to find new things :-(
ReplyDeleteI love bears, raggedy dolls, Love love seeing what everyone is making and of course I love kitty and doggy blogs. I would love to have more time than I do to see more and more blogs. So many beautiful things out here to see.

I saw all your blankets on Pinterest! I follow quite a few revamp your crap type blogs. Don't think I'd ever make anything, but I like the ideas
ReplyDeleteEye candy indeed! I love the beaded lemon yellow throw! I need to follow more design blogs. As of now, I just use Pinterest (not very helpful, I know) to look at pretty photos, but I should definitely check out these sites! Thanks!
ReplyDeletetoo many blogs, not enough hours in the day! I check pinterest but just follow quilty and cooking blogs right now...and Paleo blogs
ReplyDeleteI can't stop looking at the last two images of this post. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI dont follow any blogs or specific sites but I gotta say since I found Pinterest Ive found a ton of ideas for home decor that I want to do !
ReplyDeleteI saw some these on Pinterest when you pinned them a while back and had to snag the first image of blankets for a quilt idea I am working on. :) I like to peruse the design category on Pinterest when I need a little non-quilty inspiration. I also follow the blogs of a few surface designers and illustrators.
