I tend to spend my breakfast skimming The Guardian's website, taking a shameful peak at The Daily Mail online (then recoiling in horror at what they consider 'news') before taking a nose at Twitter and Flickr. After that, I like to browse a few crafty sites.
I'm always on the lookout for new sites, and it's fun when you find one that's colourful and interesting (with a minimal amount of Cath Kidston style bunting). The mix I like is craft stuff, some vintage/thrift shop finds (though it gets a wee bit boring if people just list their best buys and the cost) and a Green bias toward re-using/upcycling. I love shots of peoples homes too. Great to see that other crafters live in organised chaos with toppling-over fabric stashes and cupboards full of 'It'll come in useful one day' odds & ends. Two that're vibrant in their use of colour are www.scrumdillydilly.blogspot.co.uk (Jessica Wilson) and www.woodandwoolstool.blogspot.nl (Ingrid Jansen). Always happy to stumble across new sites, or to receive suggestions for future browsing. Any that you know of?
