We are looking for a few good Homestyle Blogs #thefuture #craft

August 16, 2012 · by: Cathie Filian

We are about to embark on a wild journey and the first step is research.  I wanted to reach out to YOU and ask YOU…..what are YOUR favorite Homestyle Blogs. 

What is a Homestyle Blog?  For this category we are looking for blogs, websites or makers who focus on DIY for the family.  Could be a little cooking, a little craft, a little DIY decorating and a little family.  A good example would be Making It Lovely.

We are compiling many many lists for an upcoming project – so if your favorite blogs/websites don’t fit into this category….never fear, we will be curating lists for all the different categories over the next few months.

Please leave a comment telling me your favorite Homestyle Blogs.  We really appreciate your help and your crafty friends will thank you for including them on the list.

If you write a Homestyle Blog….please let us know too!  We want to hear from you!!!

Thanks and Happy Making!

Behind the scenes of how I make my collage papers Behind the scenes of how I make my collage papers using watercolors. I grabbed these paints from Dollar tree and they worked perfect for this project. The first step is printing out inspiring words or words that would work with my project on a laser printer. And then I paint over them with watercolor, creating many different colors of my words for collage. I cut them into smaller pieces and use as needed for different craft projects. These papers I made for a workshop I did with a bunch of executives where they made handmade wish inspiration jars.
