The Red Wren

I forgot to post yesterday! How did that happen? Well firstly there was the excitement of getting the new hot water service installed. It was lovely to have hot water after several days with none. And secondly I attended a beer tasting day, although I observed rather than participated.

Blogtoberfest – Post 22

I’m struggling for post ideas today! Blogtoberfest has been challenging but most days I scrounged something up. Tonight nothing, so I’m going to recommend some friends blogs:

Penelope Waits – What’s not to love about Essie’s blog? She posts inspiration, her gorgeous quilts, favourite things.. have a look!!

Popsicles and Polka Dots – Kylie has a gorgeous little girl and makes lots of pretty accessories for her – check them out!

The internet is such a wealth of creativity. I follow a lot of the more well known blogs, but there’s so many more gems out there waiting to be discovered. So tell me – what are some of your favourite less well know blogs?

Blogtoberfest – Post 19

In a moment of madness I signed up for Blogtoberfest, a clever idea by TinnieGirl. Why was it a moment of madnes? Because I have to post every single day of October on this blog! Aside from yesterday, because I signed up a day late.

My first thought was to sign both of my blogs up- ‘wouldn’t that be a challenge!’ -thought I. Then I realised I’ll struggle enough for content on Hollyhock Hollow and it encompasses such broad topics as ‘garden’, ‘food’, ‘inspiration’ and ‘organisation’, how on earth would I post every day on my craft blog which is only for things I’ve made? (read- not much!)

So let’s see how I go shall we? I admit that some of my posts may lack in words.. ‘here look another pretty picture’, others may shamelessly promote my other blog… ‘go see what I made’.. but dubious in quality or not, there will be 30 of them! I promise! There will even be a giveaway! My first ever giveaway.
