Something old, something new....
(in honor of the Royal Wedding)
something borrowed, something blue.
(in honor of the Royal Wedding)
something borrowed, something blue.
The old is me! My blog is 2 years old now !
And I have started my 4th year of reading blogs.
And I have started my 4th year of reading blogs.
I wish this little house was mine, but it is Mary's...
I would like to introduce you to her blog Molly Flanders if you haven't already met.
I found this blog a month or so ago and I just love visiting. I thought you might also!
Maybe she will let me "borrow" this sweet little pincushion.
Since even before I started blogging I have found the most incredible women who inspire me on a daily basis in the blogosphere.
There are several that are on my sidebar but there are far more that I follow and then there is a whole other group that I have marked as favorites on my computer: Categorized in folders A-G, H-L, M-Z, then quilt shops category, prim section, Aussie group... the lists go on and on.
I also have a love for home design and I have a googleplex of favorite blogs that pertain to that.
I mostly don't comment on those blogs... just look and listen and soak it all in!
But some of the blogs I love to read, daily, every morning, for the past few years
(and are probably ones you visit too)are:
Stina, who I would most like to be like when I grow up!
Kim who can tell a story like no other!
Nicole, who is amazingly articulate and prolific.
Jen who was both, my first bloggy friend and swap partner.
Sherri, who is incredibly talented and loves all the same things I do.
(I'm sure we have matching sewing rooms)
Thelma, who if I could, follow around like a puppy dog to watch what she does next!
Mary of Quilt Hollow is an amazingly amazing long arm quilter as well as a wonderful piecer.
I want to thank you all for sharing your creativity, so today, my 300th post and celebrating 2 years
of being a member of blogville, makes it a perfect time for a giveaway!
(this is the "something new" part)
I love this book -lots of wonderful projects in it!
and here is something "blue"...
a little camera bag to go with the book.
So now you need to know what to do:
(here's when you say "I Do")
1. Share a favorite blog link with me, as your comment.
2. For a second chance to win, become a follower
(or let me know if you already are)
The giveaway will end on Mother's Day.
I will pick a winner on Monday May 9th,
(which happens to be the hubs birthday)!
Congratulations to the Royal Couple...
and good luck to everyone who enters the giveaway!
