Go ahead, make my day......

I'm a bit late jumping on the current meme to make the blogland rounds, but since some sweet, kind, lovely people awarded the "You Make My Day" thing to me, it only seems right that I return the favor. There are so many blogs/bloggers I could list, but I've limited it to my top ten sources for inspiration, giggles, and daily smiles. So, in no particular order, here are some wonderful blogs that make my day.

Too Many Scarves-One of my dearest friends and the reason I even attempted crafting/knitting in the first place. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if Stacey were a man, I think we'd be married. Her blog, as well as her phone calls and awesome mid-day voicemails, often help me get through really tough days. She knows I love her.

Superstarraville-Christie is a fantastic knitter AND crocheter (is that the right word? Is it a word? Whatever.) who chooses to make wonderful garments that I rarely see other people knitting/crocheting. She's also super friendly and super sweet. That's part of why she's a super-starra.

AfricanKelli-I'm confessing that I religiously read Kelli's blog, and she has no idea who I am, since I am a total lurker.  Her delicious recipes, lovely crafting, and amazing social consciousness inspire me to be a better person. Really.

Posie Gets Cozy-Another blog where I faithfully lurk. I think Alicia has magical powers, everything she touches is gorgeous. Also? Clover is the CUTEST PUPPY IN THE UNIVERSE. If you're feeling down, just head over to her blog and look at a picture of Ms. Clover. I dare you not to instantly feel 100 times better.

The Yo Yo Knits-One time I messaged Alyson on Ravelry and told her that I was kinda sorta stalking her, but "not in a creepy way." I love her blog because her yarn is beautiful and fun, she has great etsy shopping recommendations, and she is absofrakkinlutely hilarious.

Bake and Shake-Another site where I lurk, lurk, lurk. Yummy recipes and a writing style that makes me laugh so hard I often scare my office mates while reading. (Um, what? You know you read blogs at work too. Don't judge me.)

Carrieoke's Knitting Blog-Carrie and sometimes think I am the long-lost triplet in her family. I adore Carrie, and she is one of the main reasons I started blogging. YAY CARRIE SCHMOO!

Handcrafted Happiness-Ashley is one of the sweetest people I've ever "met." I hope to meet her in person one day, because I know we'd have a great time hanging out and going yarn shopping!

Yarn Zombie-Hi, Jacki! I totally lurk on you blog too! Jacki is one creative lady. Also? She's FUNNY. I love her blog tagline. Mmmm, skeins....

I'm going to cheat and give you a list for number ten. Flint Knits, Dogged, The Knitting Philistine, January One, Pikku Kettu, Lolly Knitting Around, Kelp! Knits, Kathryn Ivy, and Grumperina are some of my all-time favorite bl0gs and I am always inspired and amazed by what these talented folks create. Gorgeous photography and truly wonderful crafting make every post from each of these bloggers a gift.

There are so many more wonderful blogs out there I could go on for days, but I won't. Thanks so much to those of you who say I make your day, and thanks for being a part of this wonderful community that makes me feel so welcome. I'm just full of love today, y'all.

Also? We're so going.
