I think I missed about 3 posts, but then Blogtoberfest crash-landed into the first few weeks of a very busy term, so I think I managed quite well. Yada Yada Yada
I have had such an amazing time that I thought I’d pick 10 (random and in no particular order!) blogs that I first visited this month to share:
(if I missed you out this time round, please don't fret - I'm going to do this regularly)
(Don’t forget you can enter my final Blogtoberfest giveaway here until 7th Nov!)
Chantal Vincent Art |  http://chantalvincentart.blogspot.com/I love Chantal's funky prints and her avatar! I collect ceramic cicadas and have one by my front door, so I feel we bonded without even knowing! |  |
 http://www.chunkychooky.blogspot.com/Cath has a great blog, balancing life, craft, kids and humour – we secretly bonded over one of her favourite books – The Art of Looking Sideways – one of mine too! I loved the meme she did as we all started to run out of steam! |  | |
 |  http://thelostcrafter.blogspot.com/Sarah has some really gorgeous vintage style there – both thrifted and handmade – fab – especially the vintage knitting – we also share a love of beetroot, so I’m very squeaky about the beetroot hummus recipe |  |
 http://www.blogforbettersewing.com/Sarah’s blog led me to Gertie’s – her first inspiration was to sew all 14 vintage styles from Vogue’s New Book for Better sewing – but there’s much much more – including some really fine tutorials |  | |
 http://owlet-designs.blogspot.com/What a lovely blog! Great craftyness, super kids clothes, and a real feeling for family life. Hard to pick a favourite post but I’m plumping for the rhubarb and lemon cake for the combination of lovely photography and stonkingly good recipe! |  | |
 http://www.oneflewover-oneflewover.com/What this lady can do with solid colours and beautiful quilting just amazes me – every piece is so tranquil and I want them all! But her use of pattern is fantastic too – just look at Gerald! |  | |
 |  http://bellgirl.com.au/Annabel grows veg, sews, has kids and does all with a real zest for life. I love her blog and we bonded over sewing nerdy platonic solids! Check out her dodecahedron bowling ball with these cute owls! |  |
 http://larageach.blogspot.com/Larissa celebrates nature and sewing with such intelligence and wit – I was lucky enough to win her giveaway for one of her spirit dolls too! |  | |
I speak Melsh |  http://ispeakmelsh.blogspot.com/I love Mel’s blog for her photography, her crafting and her sense of humour – take a look at the interview and the interview! |  |
It’s All About the Fabric |  http://itsallaboutthefabric.blogspot.com/Emma’s blog is choc full of fantastic fabric addict drooling, great crafting and a fab vibe. She had such a fun giveaway (even though I didn’t win!) but the guessing was hysterical! |  |
Not all these bloggers were necessarily part of Blogtoberfest, but if not, they left comments on those that were. I visited about 200 Blogtoberfest blogs this month but maybe just as many again from comments …
I love the serendipity of comments sections – do you? How do you find new people to visit? Do you feel that your Reader is out of control?! – tell all!
and in case you had amnesia while scrolling … you can enter my final Pay it Forward Blogtoberfest giveaway here!
