friday feature: creative blogs of note

with all the free time i've had lately, i decided to work on little "projects" here and there around the house.  some involved remixing my wardrobe to find new outfits i never knew i could make.  others involved painting an emily bronte quote on canvas.  and still others involved redecorating our office, revamping our bedding, creating a make-shift headboard, and beginning the process of rearranging our living room.  i haven't even begun tackling the back yard yet.

N. is obviously not very thrilled since, though i can arrange furniture by drawing it on a sheet of paper, he's the muscle behind this operation.

however, in preparation for all these projects, i've been scouring the blogosphere for ideas on organization, design, thrifting, sewing, art, etc.  and in this friday feature, i wanted to just share some of the best of the best blogs i've found.  if you're ever in a crafty, diy mood, i suggest taking a look at some of these blogs for inspiration and, in some cases, lovely freebies or goodies for purchase through etsy.  jamie meares of i suwanee even offers her affordable and awesome looking interior design services, which i totally plan on taking advantage of once i have the ability to save funds.

are there any blogs you're obsessed with?  i'm always looking for good reads!
