I think I found my new favorite resource. If you are getting into knitting and sewing like me, you might enjoy this blog too.

Beautiful Type!

I've always been fascinated with unique typography, but my jaw just drops at bend-the-rules, out-of-the-box, thinking-harder-than-I-need-to typography.

I've experienced that reverence with Marian Bantjes' work, but have now become a fan of Yulia Brodskaya too.

I thankfully have spotted her work on Death By Kerning's blog and hope to keep up with it on her site.

Check her out!

Etsy

I am just now discovering Etsy. I'm not sure if any of you have ever heard of this site, but it seems marvelous. It's a place where you can sell your handmade goods or buy someone elses! I seemed to stumble on this site frequently when I found illustrators I liked on Flickr.

They have several categories to peruse including jewelry, art, furniture, crafts, quilts, books, candles and pottery.

What a great place to find inspiration even if you aren't interested in buying.
