The indie do it yourself world is flourishing online.  More and more people are saying no to prepackaged premade clothes & crafts and want to do something unique.  This do it yourself attitude towards art, clothing, and even food is what makes this <---****HYPERLINK****--->"http://www.loveyoudeer.com">Brooklynite DIY blog so special.



I love this blog! I want to help it get noticed!  So if you are indeed interested in arts & crafts, diy clothing, sewing, embroidery, or Mexican food - you really should check out this blog.  She puts a lot of time and thought into her postings and she tries to update it frequently.

Her blog is written in a very earnest and personal manner.  It is not airhead fluff or conceited pretentious indie tripe.  Somewhere there's a nice place where things just are and that's where this blog lands.

Lorrie grew up in West Virginia and moved to New York September 2006.  She lives with her boyfriend Josh who happens to be a founding member in the <---****HYPERLINK****--->"http://www.scumbo.com">Brooklyn rock band Scumbo.  They both live under the watchful eye of their cat Simon whom Lorrie has made some very funny posts about.  Most of Lorrie's posts contain great original pictures.  She also specializes in artist interviews. 

Like many people she wouldn't mind making an extra dollar or two from her website so she actually has included some product review sites at the bottom that I'd feel bad if I didn't mention in this article!  There is the <---****HYPERLINK****--->"http://www.loveyoudeer.com/best-web-hosting-company.html">web hosting review page which compares web hosts such as Start Logic, AN Hosting, and Host Gator.  There's also the SEO friendly "Web Host 4 SEO" which is perfect if you are interested in a web host for serious search engine reasons!  Now I know she probably didn't write these product reviews herself - she seems to be supported by someone who is taking care of the "technical" aspects of her site - I do know she's getting money from these sales and it seems to be very good advice regarding web hosts - so I suggest it highly!  Personally I use AN Hosting and Host Gator myself and they both rock!  (I'd avoid Start Logic if I was you.)

She also has a page about <---****HYPERLINK****--->"http://www.loveyoudeer.com/fabric-store.html">buying fabric online. Now, this is not something I know a lot about!  But I think she did help with this one!  I know that she does indeed use the fashion fabric club for all of her fabric purchases and she loves them!  She says their website is very ugly (I agree) but their products and prices are fantastic.

<---****HYPERLINK****--->"http://www.loveyoudeer.com/digital-slr-camera-review.html">Digital SLR Camera Review - wow!  These cameras are expensive.  But apparently these are what the pros use and if you want to do serious artistic photography with a digital camera this is the quality you will need.  The top of the line Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II 16.7 MP Digital SLR is nearly $20,000 when purchasing both the body and the lens!  Let me tell you, it better take some very nice pictures.

<---****HYPERLINK****--->"http://www.loveyoudeer.com/cheap-printer-ink-cartridges.html">Cheap Printer Ink Cartridges now these are something I know about.  I use the same company she recommends and they are awesome.  4ink jets.  4inkjets is a great company and 4 ink jets has a huge selection with great prices.  Highly recommended!

Please don't let these product review pages put you off her blog!  She never mentions these pages in her blog entries they are just a way of trying to make some money so she can have more time to do the things she loves like creating her own clothes and writing interesting blog entries on her blog!
