MY SECOND BLOG ANNIVERSARY/136th POST

February 10th is my second blog anniversary! Prior to September '06 when I started to sew again, I didn't know what a blog was; can't say I had ever even heard of one. While searching the net for sewing information/resources I discovered Threads.Com and Artisan's Square and found out that if I posted a sewing question and waited just a little while someone one out there in cyberland either knew the answer or what direction to point me to find out. Then one day I clicked on a link that lead me to Carolyn and that was when the world of blogging was opened to me. I found that there were hundreds, no thousands of women and men who were not only sewing, but sewing and sharing information that could really help me out.

By February 2007 I was really getting reacquainted with the sewing scene and decided I wanted a blog of my own. So I took the plunge... and now I have 2 years of blogging history. It has been wonderful learning exp
erience, and from time to time I find myself sharing information too. I believe that you can't just take and take but that the desire to share is contagious. Sharing even the simple sewing information is appreciated out there by somebody. I've made lots of friends and contacts, and people in blogland are so nice.

So in honor of my 2nd anniversary & 136th BLOGGER POST I am having the first ever......

  2. Funny how I have 3 of the 4. We are so much alike Faye! Too funny.

    Giving is good. I decided in honor of our new President and service to our country I gave scholarships to women in distress to my sewing class. (but I think I've told you this already)Pass it on and we can make it a better place to live for all.

    Congrats on 2 years. Thanks for leaving all the comments on my blog. I love to recycle :)and I hate to spend money!

    Enjoy your moments!

  14. Hi, yes please enter me too. I visit your blog often, whenever you have a new post, usually from the blogroll on LinsayT. I've also just started back into sewing and have been inspired by the reviews on various blogs & PR to try making my own jeans. The McCalls Palmer & Pletsch pattern in your give-away seems to be the go. Thanks for sharing your sewing experiences and expertise. Happy Blogiversary!

  16. I am definitely interested in those patterns. Also, you saying that you did not know what blog was at one time made me think about an NCIS episode I recently watched: Gibbs, a character on the shoe, called it a "clog". Also, the first time I ever used a mouse, I held it up in the air.

  17. Congratulations on 2 years of blogging. It really is fun. I spend too much time reading blogs though. i need to limit myself. Since I mostly sew for children you don't need to include me in the drawing, but what a generous thing to do.
