iMake

I want to tell you about a podcast/blog that I really like and has really influenced me.  It is iMake, by Martine from Guernsey.
 
She is not just about knitting, but about a variety of crafts.  She describes her blog as "Guernsey's Creative Lifestyle Blog".  My crafting friends and I made her hand salve recipe.  We had so much fun and it was so easy.

More than just crafts, she has helped me to keep current.  She introduced me to Pinterest and has kept a conversation going about the copyright issues.  The only reason I would want to get an iphone is to use Instagram for the photos.  Photography is another one of her hobbies.  She wrote in her blog about blogging and inspired me to start a blog.  She also had on her blog a button to follow by email which makes it easy for me to follow her and I figured out how to add that to my blog.

Martine also had some delicious looking recipes, for instance the Modern Potato Peel Pie Recipe, inspired by the book.

I have been on Etsy for years, but she inspired me to start making Treasuries, which is a lot of fun.  I was always thrilled when someone included me in one of their treasuries.  She even had a little tutorial on how to embed a Treasury into your blog.
I just followed her turorial now and was able to put my latest Treasury into my Blog!  Just this minute.  I find it very exciting when I learn something new.  It's not perfect, it could be a little smaller, maybe next time.

If for no other reason, I would recommend you listen to her podcast just to listen to her voice.  Who doesn't love a Guernsey accent in a soothing tone.
