ShugaBakers

I have been in the blog-o-sphere since the word blog whispered across the pages of open ID applications and API connections. One of the greatest aspects about blogs was the ability to connect with people of similar interests across the world. 

What is not so great blogs seem to have seasons in a persons soul. I have changed my name on my blog on a few occasions because of privacy concerns. Yes I was one of those lucky people that had a stalker. I know we could sit on the front porch shuga's and discuss this for hours! That being said this blog is obviously about craft and the craft business and I have decided to not publish so much personal here, but inspiration for those special moments in your life. 

Who inspires me ?

1- Drew. The Crochet Dude. Yes that smiling , tweeting, crocheting man about yarn. Drew has really put the proof in the pudding, that men and yarn go very well together. Insight humor and very approachable nature make him the fantastic go to guy he is. Have you seen his patterns ! I get giddy when I catch an episode hes shown up on  and just adore seeing whats coming out in his work next. I really wish him all the best and love, he is really a great guy.

2- Cass - Shut Up I'm Counting - Apparently her blog is no longer accessible and this makes me sad. When I first started blogging therapy for all things knitting (the great leg break incident) I found Cass. She was like the better side of me. Some crazy thing to knit in hand - beautiful tween children - always a vodka stoli waiting at the end of the day. She cussed she swore she laughed she cried. Cass was just a gal in the world not being anything other than herself and allowing us the chance to be there day in and day with her. I just always appreciated her verve and loved chatting back and forth in the blog world. The late night Wordpress commentary between us after a few drinks always was memorable. 

3- Oh that Crazy Aunt Purl - What would life be with out her pouring me a drink, wrapping a blanket she knitted around my feet and sitting down to gossip over relationships while her cat curls softly in my lap. Oh wait that was my daydream not yours, sorry you should read her blog to understand what I mean. Of course you have already.. what was I thinking. No it wasn't a question. I appreciate her candor and the fact she knitted the same dam scarf over and over before branching out to blogs the net and the rest of us.

I am off to bake some cookies and read more than I should. No there is no Merlot in the cabinets tonight. I finished that off last night :)
