Seven Years

After all these years, I almost forgot my blogiversary...Seven years (last month!) and 756 posts, later (there were even more - I think a few were deleted, along the way...) - I'm still happy to be poking along the path here. Even if it is at practically a snail mail *pace. Thanks for coming along on the ride. It most definitely wouldn't have been the same without you! I appreciate each and every comment here (except from Mr. &/or Ms. Spam, of course. Speaking of which - Please DON'T click on that underlined link to the word 'mail' up above. It's not a link that I posted for you and I can't seem to change or delete it.  How does that even work for them? Is there anyone in the history of the internet *that has actually ever clicked on those links and bought something? (Please don't click on THAT underlined linked word, either! That just got added when I came back to edit this - grrr...). I suppose there must have been someone, sometime that's clicked on such things - but enough to make that your marketing plan? And what is up with just inserting that, Typepad? ((Typepad has assured me they're not arbitrarily inserting links and they're very kindly looking into the situation for me)) The whole spam link business is a mystery to me...).

Speaking of business, not much art has gotten posted here, of late - though I did post some art cards on my even older blog, over here (which IS a link, I inserted for you...I still post things there, from time to time, if only to make sure I still can). Have some virtual cupcakes and tea, while you're there... 

While not as much artwork has been done this year, at least some crafts have been. Here are some of the felt forest friend ornaments I've been working on for a holiday craft show.

Down below is the crocheted blanket I hooked this fall. Photographed before I blocked it - and now it's been sent on its way, so pretend with me - let's try to imagine that it's squared off properly. Still piecing together a baby quilt. Hmm, just realized I haven't taken any photos of it in progress, so I'll have to share that, later...

So much going on...Holidays...Christmas time. Craft show time. New grandbaby-on-her-way-time. I can hardly believe how time is flying! It'll be time to fly up to the Pacific Northwest to greet her, before I know it. Posting may be scarcer than ever, this month. Will try to come back here with something in time for Christmas and we'll do a blogiversary giveaway, then...

Meanwhile, stay happy and healthy, warm and safe. Happy holidays, everyone!

Well done for keeping your blogging going and for making all these thing - my absolute favourite is that owl - but don't tell the others it wouldn't be fair to have them fall out over something so trivial...

Congratulations on seven years of blogging! And how is it that I didn't know you had another blog? Where have I been?!!

I like the ornaments you've been making. Happy Holidays to you, too!

Caroline, I wouldn't dream of mentioning it to them ; )
Janet, I only used it for a few months when I first began blogging, but every once in awhile, I pop over there to dust the place off...
Thanks for the blogiversary wishes, Caroline & Janet!

p.s. Apparently I was the only one seeing those links. It appears I have some spyware to clean up when I get back...Sorry to bother you, Typepad!
