Sew grateful for new reading and bloggers!

So the gorgeous and talented Debi is hosting Sew Grateful week!  I think it's a seriously lovely idea, and it seems I'm not the only one - my google reader has exploded with giveaways, tutorials and some very thoughtful and genuine reflections.  I can't wait to see everyone's completed projects later in the week!

One thing I'm particularly loving about this week is the link round-ups people have done, and the shout-outs to their favourite blog buddies.  For someone like me, who has only been blogging for a fraction of a second, it's given me a stellar opportunity to discover new content - great posts that I might have missed the first time, tutorials on things I didn't even realise I wasn't doing, and amazing sewers and crafters whose blogs I hadn't discovered yet!  Oh, the link-hopping!  I can't tear myself away from y'all!  My laptop has become grafted to my lap!

So I thought I would post about the things I'm grateful for... that I've discovered through other people's sew grateful posts.  Wow, it's like a sew grateful vortex!

- Beata of Tatulinka's Tales posted an awesome list of things I can't wait to explore further!  I had never come across A Frock by Friday, and I had totally forgotten I wanted to try Casey's Sundress Tutorial this summer!  Thanks, Beata!

- I love Sunni's Stitching Spotlight posts a whole heap - talk about pretty overload! This one is what alerted me to Sew Grateful week in the first place!  Hooray!  I also discovered these tips for outdoor photography which will be coming in handy very soon!

- I've just discovered the adorable Marie through her Sew Grateful Week giveaway!  She linked back to one of her own posts from last month that lists FIVE awesome online tutorials.  Like I needed more projects - aww who am I kidding, I always WANT more projects!!

So there - pretty much anything I read on any blog about sewing I am grateful for, because I always learn something.  It's dizzying - in fact, I have literally exhausted myself with this, so to bed with me!  Oh, and here's the button back to Debi's:
