Since the weather is turning cold, I thought I’d round up some cardigan and sweater patterns.  Please note that several of these are Ravelry patterns.  In order to see those patterns, you will need to make a free account there.

Ophelia’s Willow: Owlish’s notebook, adapted from Verdaia by Jodie St. Clair.

I know that not everyone lives up in the cold north.  So, I figured I’d start with a nice light weight shawl.  I really like the simple pattern on this shawl.  The pointed ends also make it almost reminiscent of a spider web to me.

Ahni: Julia Trice

Ooohhh!  Pretty spiral patterns.  That was the thought that first went through my head when I saw this one.  If/when I make this sweater, I probably won’t do so much on the cuff, especially at the bottom of the sweater itself.  Maybe for the sleeves though.  I really love the overall look of this one though.

Freija: Mari Muinonen / tikru (image from Dayana’s notebook)

Ok, I admit it, I like things that are just a bit out of the ordinary.  Like this gorgeous cable knit sweater.  Who knew that cable knitting could have such personality to it?  I love the color it is in here as well.  One day, my precious, one day…

Wild Thing!: Splendor

When I saw this pattern, how could I not add it here!  It’s just so awfully fun!  What a better way to refuse to grow up than to dress up as one of the wild things.

Magnum Reversible Vest/Wrap: Karenclements

Ok, now we’re talking cold weather gear.  Well, almost.  There aren’t any sleeves on this!  It shouldn’t bee too hard to add them though.  She also has a downright stunning pattern for a honeycomb sweater as well.  I have a feeling that once my socks and mittens are done, these two projects will be up next.  Oh, how I like to wrap myself up in blankets and call them clothes.  :)

There you are!  Five knitting projects to keep yourself warm as the weather cools down.  To see more, don’t forget to stop by my pinterest knitting board where you will find more warm wraps, a few summertime ones, and plenty of other knitting projects!  I hope to see you all again on Friday, but if not then I’ll certainly be back to regular posting schedule by Monday.  Thanks for reading!

Simply Gloria: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yum! An old professor of mine used to bring these to his final exams.  I haven’t had this particular recipe yet, but I’m sure it’s delicious! What, you haven’t had pumpkin chocolate chip cookies yet?  Well, what are you waiting for?  Start baking!

Crafty Nest: Pumpkins Carved with a Drill

These are super cute, and look so much easier to do than traditional pumpkin carving.  They might even look decent if I did them myself.  My jack-o-lanterns usually end up missing teeth or something.

Key Ingredient: Cleo’s Pumpkin Dog Biscuits

If you are going to make a treat for yourself, why not make one for your dog as well?

Chicago Tribune: Roasted Pumpkin-apple Soup

Mmmmm…. I’m not much of a soup person, but this sounds delicious!  Perfect for the turning weather!  It’s the third recipe in, so don’t worry if you see mayo biscuits first!

UnOriginal Mom: Glitter Monogramed Pumpkin

And Tanya’s Creative Space: Decorated Pumpkins

I’m sort of glad that I didn’t do this post earlier, because look at these pumpkins!  I’m not really a glitter fan, BUT I really like it here!  Another fun and easy way to decorate pumpkins.  Both of these are posts from Monday’s blog hops.  Maybe I’m cheating a bit, but I don’t care.  I just love them that much!

Ok.  That’s it for today’s Pumpkin inspiration.  To see more, head over to my pinterest pumpkin board.  Thanks for joining me!

It’s not surprising, then, that I would find myself attracted to gifts in mason jars.  I know Christmas isn’t really here yet, but I like to plan early so I have time to make any gifts that need making.  So this week’s web inspiration is a collection of mason jar gifts.  I hope you enjoy!

Flower Bulb Gifts by Homework

I know it’s fall, but here, have a bit of spring.  This bulb jar is a really cute gift idea.  Since I’ve (kind of) started gardening this year, it made me smile a bit.  It’s super simple to do as well.  I imagine that you would want to keep your lid off for this gift though.

Chalkboard Mason Jar Candles by heart. love. weddings.

The suggested use for these gorgeous candles is as a centerpiece, but I think they would be cute just about anywhere.  You could even fill the jar all the way up with wax and make it a much larger candle that burns down.  She uses a baby food jar for the little one, but a 5 oz mason jar would probably be just as cute.  It’s amazing what you can do with a bit of chalkboard paint!

Housewarming Gift by Southern State of Mind

Once upon a time my mother told me that I was good at giving useful gifts.  In particular, I gave good gifts for people who were changing something about their life (first apartment, college, etc.), and that my gifts often provided things they wouldn’t have thought of otherwise.  I didn’t put that very well, but the point is that I remembered that.  And now I feel the need to live up to that expectation.  This jar of little home goodies would definitely fit the bill.  The small gifts that Heather put in have just the right amount of thought and usefulness to them.  Plus, it would probably make my mom laugh that I just wrote that.  Moving on..

{Everything} In A Jar by The Gunny Sack

I think this blog post is my favorite of the bunch.  In addition to the three pictured here, Tonia offers suggestions for other themed jars.  She also has a few date’s in a jar, and I particularly like her ice skating date in a jar.  The {Everything} in a Jar is my overall favorite though because of how she managed to keep all her jars color coded.  It’s really quite stunning visually.

No-Knead Multigrain Bread (In A Jar!} by Our Best Bites

Of course, for in a jar, I must include some sort of food!  I chose this bread recipe because it’s a bit of a deviation from the myriad of sweet recipes that you find.  Of course, there isn’t anything wrong with brownies, cookies, hot chocolate, or other sweet goodies in a jar!  I just liked the idea of a savory bread.

For more gifts in jars, feel free to check out my pinterest gift ideas board where you’ll find these along with several others, including sweets in a jar.  There are also non jar gift ideas there as well to peruse!

What type of ‘in a jar’ gifts do you like receiving?  Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you again on Friday!

Tim The Enchanter: by Pixel People

I love Wee Little Stitches patterns!  I originally found them through a firefly pattern, and I bought it almost immediately.  A few month ago she started doing quotable patterns.  Isn’t this Tim the Enchanter just perfect?

Harry Potter Alphabet Sampler: by Clouds Factory

There are a few nice Harry Potter patterns that I’ve come across.  I particularly enjoy the simplicity of the deathly hollows symbol.  However, I chose this one because I like the quirkiness of the alphabet sampler here.  They’re like little chibi potter people.  She does a few others as well, so check her out if you like the style!

Mario’s Castle Home Sweet Home: by Johloh

This is, well, it’s just amazingly awesome.  I imagine you could save time by stitching it on blue aida as well.  Just the right touch of homeliness plus nostalgia.

The Pheonix: by Dracolair

Oh my gosh, is this gorgeous!  Earl and I are working on a pair of pillows right now, but when I finish mine, this just might have to be my next big cross stitch project.  This, or maybe one of her dragons.

Dr. Horrible Quote: by Armaine

No pattern here, but I felt the need to add it because, well, the status… is not qou!  This wonderful gem comes from Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible musical.

As always, you can find more inspiration on my pinterest board for embroidery.  Thanks for reading, and I hope you are as inspired as I am by these wonderful patterns!

For today, I thought I would share my top five roundup posts that I’ve come across.  These are posts that have more content than not that I actually like and don’t feel bloated with repeats of similar projects, or big just to be big.  So, in no particular order, here are five of my favorite roundup posts!

60 Awesome Geek Crafts: Craft Tuts+

There is  just so much here that makes me go squee!  Pacman, Star Wars, Star Trek, Buffy, Firefly, Mario, Dr. Who…. the list really does go on.  Some of these items are linked to sale pages, others to tutorials.  Either way, there is some really great inspiration on this page!

20 DIY Chalboard Projects: The Thinking Closet

Does it surprise you that Lauren from The Thinking Closet comes up with great round ups as well as great posts?  It shouldn’t!  There’s a reason I like her blog so much!  It seems as if chalk board paint has been all the rage recently, and Lauren’s brought together some mighty fine projects.  There are mugs, coasters, gift wrap, and so much more.  I think my favorite is the wine glass bases with chalk paint on them.  Such a great idea!  And it’s so much easier to remember your name than whatever charm you happened to pick up as you came in the door!

50 Sweet and Savory Pies: A Night Owl

Pies!  Lots and lots of pies!  Chicken, cottage, zucchini, potato!  And if you’re done with dinner, how about a nutella pie for desert?  More of an apple person?  You’ll find that here too!  There are so many recipes here I need to try, cause I sure love me some pie.  She also has a round up of Sangria.  I wonder what I’m going to do for dinner tonight?  You can bet it will be pie and sangria!

39 DIY Gifts You’d Actually Want to Receive: BuzzFeed

This is a really nice list of hand made gifts that are a little out of the box.  I counted, and there are 25 that I, personally, would like.  The other ones just aren’t my style, like the child’s hoodie towel.  But there are some nice decorative candles, a clock, some interesting jewelry, and a few fabric projects I wouldn’t mind receiving.  Psst… friends and family… you might be getting something from this list.  Or you might not.  Only time will tell.  If you are looking for an edible gift, check out their list of best DIY food gifts, it’s also a pretty decent list.

25 Handmade Gifts under $5: The 36th Avenue

If you have a bunch of people to gift, then handmade is not a bad way to go.  While the previous list focuses on individuals, the gifts in this list are better for bulk giving, but don’t necessitate it.  The sugar cubes above are super cute, easy to do, and almost negligible in price.  You do have sugar in your pantry, right?  You might even have a silicone mold, but if you don’t you can use it again and again afterwards.  She also has some jewelry, home goods, and other nick-nacks in this round up.  I love the idea of pulling together these crafts that are all under $5.  What a great idea!

I hope you enjoyed the round ups I shared here today.  Don’t forget to check out my pinterest board for more round up inspiration!

Everywear Tails: Free

For today’s inspiration, I wanted to start with this pattern.  It is one of my favorites.  It comes from a British based site, Your Style Rocks, where they feature patterns made by their readers.  I have made it before and lined it so it was reversible.  That probably wasn’t the best decision as it made the vest super bulky.  It didn’t help that I was using upholstery fabric and wool for the two sides!  I’d like to make it again, but not quite as bulky this time.  With the right fabric, it would be perfect for those few occasions where I dress up.  While I really like the brown, I would make a slate blue for the imaginary outfit I’m currently considering.

Kimono Tabbard Shirt: £4.95

I think this loose shirt from Ralph Pink Patterns would pair well with the waistcoat above.  The straight neck -line doesn’t clash too much with the collar of the vest.  Depending on the season, I might modify the sleeves so that they were long sleeve though.  A collared shirt or non-button up could work as well, but I think I would keep it white as a light pop to the whole ensemble.  That way it wouldn’t take too much attention.  

Basic Pant: Free

Since I don’t wear skirt or dresses, a pant is a must.  Thankfully Modern Sewing Patterns has a nice basic pant that will pair with almost anything I wear!  I have made pants before, and it’s really important that you pay careful attention to your measurements.  It may take a few botched pairs if you aren’t super careful, but once you have a nice go to pattern, you’ll be set!  Then you can make them in whatever color you want!  For this outfit, a nice dark grey would work well.

Melford Messanger Bag: $8

I’m not much of a purse person, but I do travel quite a bit.  I also have to drag things too and from the lab on campus as well, particularly my Surface Pro.  And this bag fits the bill for that just great.  I love the vintage look of this bag by Charlie’s Aunt, and the plaid and brown wool give it just the right tone.  I have also made this pattern, though I altered it to have a central pocket divider in the main compartment.  The front pocket also has a zippered section and several separated pencil spots.  I plan to make it again, but just a tad deeper, with a larger flap for the top, and a second magnetic closure for a bit better security.  For this particular pretend outfit, I would make the bag either in a similar blue plaid or a green much like the one in the picture here with a grey pocket.

Newsboy Cap: Free

To ‘top’ it all off, I’d add a wool newsboy cap.  This pattern from Clevergirl.org is meant for a kid, but I could probably size it up just a bit.  I think the colors here would go just great with the slate blue, dark grey, white, and pop of green.

Using the magic of Photoshop and my awesome box and oval drawing skills, here is a look at the color scheme I would use.

There you have it.  A whole outfit put together from the patterns on my current pinterest board.  If you are interested in seeing more clothing patterns, visit my pattern board.  You can also check out my sewing projects board, which has projects other than clothes, or take another perusal through my scrap fabric board.

And now I know what my next clothing projects will be!  I promise that I’ll share the results with you when I eventually get around to them, though I can’t promise that will be any time soon.  Oh yeah, and I need to find a reason to wear this, though I guess it would make a great first day of class impression!

What clothing projects do you have on the horizon?

Anyways… I present to you some pretty awesome knitting patterns.  Some of them were introduced to me by my friend Sam, so thanks to her for that!

Amigurumi Airship

Squee!  This is so cute.  Needle Noodles has a whole bunch of cute patterns like this.  Some of her patterns are knitting patterns and some are crochet patterns.  Most of her patterns are right around $4, but you can also buy some of them in groups.  She also offers a number of them for free, including a really cute yeti.  I may have to try to learn to crochet again so I can make an airship and a balloon and even some vikings in a ship!

Baby’s First DNA

Ok, so this is really really cute.  I know some people who have young children, so maybe if I ever have the time to make something just because I’ll make them one.  Plus, most all of the people I know would really get excited about the whole science toy for kids thing.  I wonder if I could modify it slightly and make the whole A-T C-G more integral to the pattern.  Hmmm….

DNA Scarf 

Maybe your science nerd friend is like me and doesn’t have any kids, but you still want to knit up some DNA for them.  If so, try this pretty awesome DNA scarf.  Sam, my friend, has knitted two!  They are so popular that several of our friends have requested she make them one.  Go Sam!  Go DNA! Go Knitting!  And since September is upon us, it might not be much longer until a scarf is needed here in MN.  At least it’s still nice and warm right now!

Dr. Who Afghan

Absolutely Gorgeous.  Words cannot express how awed I am by this afghan.  I haven’t made an afghan yet, but I can’t even imagine how much hard work went into both making the pattern and knitting the afghan.  Maybe on day I’ll be good enough to even attempt this, but I’m not there yet.  That’s ok, it’s something to aspire to!

Composition Book E-reader cover 

This felted I-pad cover is just perfect for back to school.  And it has so many nostalgic memories for many of us.  Do they still use composition books in school?  I hope so.  A friend of mine has school aged children who are loaned I-pads from the school.  I hope they still do things like take hand written notes.  Using multiple senses is always good for solidifying what you learn! (So says the college TA).

I hope you’ve enjoyed these projects!  If you’re interested in seeing more, head over to my pinterest knitting board!  As always, I’ll continue to add to that board as I find more things that inspire me.

P.S.  I’ve decided that I like the format of having 5 projects featured here and then linking back to my pinterest board at the end of the post.  This way the post isn’t too long, but you can still go see more.  5 seems like a good number.  Plus, it leaves me room to go back and feature new things another week.  What, you thought this would be the last knitting inspiration?  Plenty more to come, but don’t worry, there will be other stuff in between.  I don’t want this blog to only be about knitting!

I’ll see you Monday with a sewing tutorial!

Ok, now onto the fabric inspiration.  There are a ton of generic fabric scrap ideas out there, so I’m going to focus my blog choices to things that have a bit of a geeky flare to them today.  If you want to see some of the more mundane ideas, head on over to my pinterest board for inspiration there.

Steampunk Softees

These are pretty awesome if you ask me.  This is one of two steampunk softees that I’ve made myself.  She is made with left over suede from a pillow (the hair) and some suiting that Earl used to make one of his suits (the body).  This is cheating a little bit since all the patterns are available in  Sarah Skeate and Nicola Tedman’s book: Steampunk Softies: Scientifically-Minded Dolls from a Past That Never Was.  I figure it’s ok though, since Make: featured the bookand they posted a free pattern to make Marvaletta O’Houlihan, who just happens to be the softee I made above.  They require a bit of hand stitching and a few findings, but I think they are pretty awesome way to use up those little fabric scraps that are always left over at the end of a project.  And they make awesome stocking stuffers or birthday presents for the right person.

Make a Quilt Block

Quilt block are really multi-functional. You can use them to make a quilt if you really want, or you can just make a single block and frame it as a photo.  Or you can add some heat-resistant batting to it and use it for a pot holder.  Or you could frame it with terry cloth and turn it into a towel for your bathroom. Or you could integrate it into a simple bag.  Ok, I’ll stop now.  But my point is you can do lots of stuff with quilt squares.  And there are a ton of really cool and nerdy patterns out there.  This beautiful weeping angel came from Whims and Fancies.  I also suggest going to Fandom in Stitches and checking out some of their free patterns.  They have patterns for Lord of the Rings, Dr. Who, Harry Potter, and even The Muppets.

Make a Tribble!

Tor.com : A tribble!

This one only works if you have furry fabric from something, but still, tribble.  You could also cut up an old stuffed animal that you don’t want anymore.  I’m not sure why, but the idea of cutting up a stuffed animal to make a tribble seems somewhat cannibalistic.  Torie at Tor.com has an awesome step by step tutorial on how to go about making the pattern, cutting your fabric, and sewing it all together.  All in all it’s pretty easy and I suggest you go check it out and make a tribble (or several hundred, they do breed worse than rabbits you know).

Make a Dalek pincushion

This wicked cute Dalek pincushion was part of a craft swap at craftster.org.  No pattern, but I think the idea is really great and I imagine if you were sewing inclined you could probably improvise.  The best part is that you could make your Dalek with whatever color leftover fabric you have!

How about a Brain Pincusion?

This tutorial at Tiny Little Life makes use of a piece of scrap fabric, some piping cord, and the Hilbert curve to make a brain pin cushion.  It looks so cool.  I also love that she used math to make brains.  It’s just so… apropos.

Make a minion 

Everyone needs minions, right?  If you have the right colors, you could make this minion phone cozy to keep with you all the time! She uses felt, but you could use some regular cotton and line it with batting if you wanted as well.  The tutorial goes step-by-step through the process and if you are using felt it’s really pretty easy.  Check out her archives as well, she’s got some pretty cool stuff there.  Her Angry Bird Ornaments also fit the bill for a scrap fabric project.

I hope you got some inspiration from these posts!  Fabric scraps can be used for some pretty awesome small projects.  If you want to see some more fabric scrap ideas don’t forget to check out my pinterest board for scrap fabric ideas.  What do you do with your scrap fabric?  Let me know in the comments below, and thanks for tuning in!

In the meantime, here are some inspiring projects to show the variety of creative things you can make!

Handmade by Paula: Mini Greeting Cards

Aren’t these cards just adorable?  Changing the color and the greeting is such a simple way to add variety to a note card pack. I also really like the matching envelopes.  So pretty!

Mouse Pad Makeover

This mouse pad is so effective and easy to do.  She just used the silhouette to cut the fabric to size and then adhered it to the old mouse pad.  Awesome!

Silhouette Decorative Wall Border

This wall border made from vinyl would look really cute in a child’s room.  I would imaging you would want to keep the flower flat though, as kids tend to grab at things and I bet these flowers are just the right height for pulling!

Cupcake Project: Cupcake Wrappers

There are so many really awesome paper wrappers for cupcakes, and all sorts of holiday ones as well.  I can’t wait until I can find an excuse to make some cupcakes and pretty them up!

Ok, so this is something I really want to do.  The Silhouette can work with any installed font on your computer.  Yes, you read that right, any.  The idea of labeling jars like this is such a simple thing to do and really looks good.  Plus, it would make it easier to tell the difference between bread flour and regular flour.  Awesome!

The Silhouette also cuts fabric.  There are kits to dye fabric, cut stencils, set rhinestones, land etch glass.  If you want to see some more inspirational silhouette projects, check out my pinterest board here!  I’ll keep adding things as I come across them, as you do with pinterest.

Look forward to my own silhouette projects soon!

Ok, now onto web inspiration.  Today I thought I would share with you some of my favorite blogs.  These are the people I mentioned in my first post that write so well I feel like they are my friends.  But if I showed up at their house, they would probably think I was some weird stalker chick, which wouldn’t be good.  It”s their blogs that have inspired me to start my own.  These are not all craft blogs, however I hope that you will visit each and every one of them and get some inspiration from one of their many posts.  I know I have a long way to go with this blog, but I’m glad I’ve started it.  In alphabetical order, I present to you my favorite bloggers.  Each title links to their home page and I have chosen a post for each blog to send you to as an example of their work.  Enjoy!

Epbot

Epbot was probably my first introduction to a blog that makes you feel like you know her.  Jen is also the creator of Cake Wrecks.  On Epbot she writes about the things she loves, which includes (but is not limited to): steam punk, cosplay, book reviews, video games, crafting, and pretty much anything geeky.  She is currently on sabbatical, but promises to return soon.  As a link, I am sending you to her most recent tutorial, Down the Rabbit Hole, where she shows how she made this gorgeous steam punk leather rabbit mask.  Go Jen!

Evil Mad Scientist

Evil Mad Scientist is a blog about electronics.  It’s pretty cool.  They don’t post as often as many of the other bloggers I follow, but they also run their own electronics store and do lots of other cool things.  And when they do, it’s always an interesting post.  Among other things, they create their own machines like the eggbot, a machine that engraves or paints on eggs.  Pretty cool!  Recently they finished up a kickstarter for their watercolor bot which, as you might imagine, paints with watercolors.  They are all about diy electronics.  They also post about vintage electronic parts they come across.  Occasionally they will post really informative information, like how to understand what resistance is.  I highly reccomend them for anyone who is interested in those crazy people who solder their own circuit boards and stuff like that (*cough cough me cough*).  Below, please enjoy a link to their post about vintage chemistry manuals!

The Flog

The Flog is/was a video blog that Felicia Day did where she talked about pretty much whatever she wanted and tried to do pretty much anything she wanted as well.  Right now they say they are on haitus, but I hope she brings it back.  Felicia is an extremely creative and talented person who works in acting and directing, is internet famous (whatever that means) for being a seriously geeky girl, and is all around awesome.  Her current big project is running and creating content for the Geek and Sundry channel on youtube.  In her flog she learned to blacksmith, did prop creation, cooked/baked food such as Dragon Bread, learned how to do yo-yo tricks, and so forth.  Currently she blogs an occasional show called “Co-optitude” where her and her brother Ryon play video games from when they were kids and they didn’t have a console.   If you have the time, I suggest you watch one of my favorite flogs: Felicia Day and Colin Fergusson (From Eureka!) crochet.

Shoes and Craft

Shoes and Craft is written by Marcell Mrsan.  He is a master shoemaker.  He talks about his experiences teaching and making shoes as well as puts up some instructions for shoe making.  Occasionally he teaches shoe making in person, and I would dearly love to attend one of those.  It would be awesome to actually make my own shoes at some point of time.  One of the things that I really love about this blog is that it gives an insight into how a master craftsman works.  I could go on more about that, but let it suffice to say that I find people making things in general to be fascinating.  Below, please find a link to his flip flop tutorial.

The Thinking Closet

Ok, so truth be told, The Thinking Closet is the blog that closed the deal on my own ambitions.  The work she does is just lovely,  and the fact that she’s only been blogging for about a year convinced me that I could do it too.  I have thought about this before, but was worried that no one would be interested in what I had to say because there was so much chatter already out there.  But, after reading her blog, I realized that that’s not what it’s about.  Writing something and putting it out there is the first step.  As long as I provide good content and provide an interesting environment for others to participate in, it’s ok!  Anyways, this blog is mainly a craft blog.  She does some really cool sewing projects for infants, though I have none of those, and has a huge love for the sillhouette cameo.  Yeah, one day I will have one of those.  Now is just not that day.  She was married before the days of pinterest (as was I) and is currently sharing some of the things she did for her wedding.  Don’t worry, you’ll get a glimpse into my wedding soon enough (paper flowers anyone?).  The Thinking Closet also found it’s way onto my blog last week with her fabric filing.  For her blog, I thought  I would send you to her most recent tutorial: Animal Placecard Holders.   I know a few people who would get quite a kick out of this (and one that would love a giraffe version).!

Young House Love

Young House Love is DIY house blog.  They pretty much blog about everything they do around their house, and it is super inspirational.  Their design aesthetic is awesome and the personal touches and family feeling that you get from their writing make me looking forward to each and every post.  As for house work, they have taken on everything from replacing a part of the deck, striping the deck, paint, custom built-in bookshelves, you name it.  They also talk about things like their design decisions and what it is they look for when deciding what to buy for different projects.  Below, you can read about their most recent bathroom change, replacing the faucet, and see how far they’ve come with their “temporary” bathroom remodel (paint, light fixture, mirror, pictures, and faucet).

WIL WHEATON dot NET

Wil Wheaton is last only because he starts with “w”.  He’s a pretty big deal in many of the circles I travel, but he’s also very inspirational to me.  He is also the host of Tabletop over on Geek and Sundry, a show that gives you the basics of how to play a game through actual game play.  His blog is another one of those that follows his own interests.  Most often he talks about what is going on in his life, gaming, conventions, or the like.  I like to read what he writes, and he continues to write it, so read it I shall.  One of the things that I love about him is his interactions with the fans.  Another thing is his love for learning I will send you to this post of his about why Discovery Chanel doing a ‘documentary’ about the current existence of the megeladon (a now extinct species) is such a horrible thing.  If he didn’t already have my respect, this would definitely have gotten it.

There you have it.  Some of my favorite blogs and my inspiration to make this blog the best place it can be.  What are some of your favorite blogs?  Are there some that I’m missing and should be following?  I’d love to hear your suggestions!  Also, don’t forget to join me on Monday for my next tutorial!
