I've always loved children's "fashion" magazines, especially those with beautiful, interesting and sometimes quirky photography and art. (O.K. I liked Highlights for Children (Goofus and Gallant!!!) when I was a child --always read it in the dentist/doctor office-- andRanger Rick when my kids were little and of course Cricket Magazine.)
When I worked in "advertising" I loved Child magazine. I think Cookie tried to replace that. Both gone.
So here are the children's online magazines I like now...(thank you decor8blog.com)
Loving this book I just checked out of the library Crochet in Colorby Kathy Merrick. I want to make this Chain Lace Big Fat Scarf! The pattern looks pretty complicated to me, especially since I haven't crocheted anything in quite a long time. But the colors (more saturated than shown here) are so beautiful--Koigu Painter's Palette Premium in about 9 different colorways.
Loving my Sarah Ogren "Twin Cat" broach (brouch? brooch? pin!) that I bought for myself a couple of days ago....nothing I was particularly looking for or even wanted to buy...just looking at links from Cathy Cullis's blog and randomly clicking on other blogs, "cuz that's the way I am." I don't even really wear jewelry anymore here in Wisconsin--not going anywhere, not seeing anyone, and all. I just wear jeans and a tee shirt and sweater everyday (usually the same ones) and then change to my workout pants before I go to the "health" club.
I will have to wear all the squirrel pins that my husband gave me for xmas and my birthday along with this pin and perhaps my many acorn pins together at the same time. Oh, and all the other pins I have accumulated, made, inherited over the past several decades. What do I do with all of them packed into drawers and jewelry boxes and shoeboxes and dresser tops and display shelves ?
