Every year I seem to miss my blog anniversary and this year was no exception. I started blogging in April 2006. I have never been much of a journal keeper but somehow I have kept up blogging and have enjoyed sharing my creativity with the blog-o-sphere.
Taking a look back.....
I have just over 300 posts
Shared more of my creative side than I ever thought I would
Had two children, Alex who will be 4 in June and Abby turned one last week.
Had a quilt at PIQF
Had a quilt in Quilter's Newsletter
Took up knitting
Published my own beading pattern
Received a Best in Show for one of my beaded quilts
Published a free knitting pattern
And, best of all, met and made some great creative blog friends.
To celebrate 4 years I will be giving away special gift...
Included will be a copy of my Bead Embroidery Stitches pdf., a vintage fabric print, hand dyed silk ribbon, hand dyed pearl cotton and a selection of beads.
To enter, leave a comment by Sunday May 9 and I will draw the winner next week.
I love your bead embroidery stitches. Lovely!!
