I'd be a nervous wreck around Amanda.<br />You, I can see inviting around for afternoon tea with your two munchkins, to tear my house (even further) apart with my own darling toddler! I've felt that way ever since noticing your amazing stuff on craftster, before you started this blog.

I'm not in my pyjamas but I haven't got a blog, haven't done any crochet for 3 days, haven't done any real housework for a day or too, haven't managed to copy my photos onto the PC let alone sent copies anywhere. In fact, now I write it down I'm not sure what I have been doing. So I'm still in awe at what you do, the generous spirit you do it in and the great things you create.<br /><br />And I love the sand dollars - I never knew that is what they are called.whatsonoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18260775524509703913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-61562155212051895942010-03-10T23:34:02.742-07:002010-03-10T23:34:02.742-07:00Oh wow, that must have been a fairly old tutorial ...Oh wow, that must have been a fairly old tutorial I was referring to when I said two years... Still, four? I'm impressed! <br /><br />I learned to sew a long time ago, but didn't get a machine of my own until last December ('09). I haven't stopped since! I can't help but wonder if this kind of spark will sustain itself or if I'll crash and burn out? I guess I'll keep at it for as long as I can! <br /><br />Happy quilting (it's so fun!

We crafty bloggers are all a pretty generous lot and here to support each other. Thank you!<br /><br />Xenia, four years now (omgoodness, my baby is getting old!)<br /><br />Katie, saying my blog is lived in is my new favorite compliment! I totally get why that's a good thing. And now I've seen your craft room too, so cheers to us both, and I'll be back to check how that furniture comes along - I have a whole new sewing room to set up next week!Charity Indietuteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517919253368724623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-91235703711572517302010-03-10T21:29:27.871-07:002010-03-10T21:29:27.871-07:00Oh hun.

You do what makes you happy and invariably it will make others happy to, as evidenced by your blog. <br /><br />It's like seeing photos in the Pottery Barn catalog. They're gorgeous - but styled and not lived in. Your blog is lived in. It's what I aim for in my own blog. <br /><br />Keep up the good work! :D We love it.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828035716245619058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-4006356230099153132010-03-10T19:33:03.429-07:002010-03-10T19:33:03.429-07:00you have a thousand plus followers and I have nine...you have a thousand plus followers and I have nine, you have been quilting/sewing for a short time, I have been doing the same probably longer than you have been alive -- ahem... I'm jealous! You have an interesting voice and fun tutorials and you hit a cord when you said that a blog is not life and life is not a blog, I believe that but one of my past readers did not (my sister), keep writing and I will keep coming back to visit your blog.

Having little ones not in school (and in my case a big one who is homeschooled) makes it virtually impossible to craft. <br /><br />My xmas present quilt for my little one - is halfway cut into squares, sitting on my dresser under piles of laundry and other misc stuff waiting to be completed. <br /><br />I love the island too - we moved here 4 yrs ago and I won't leave - almost have my extended family convinced to move closer to me :PEmmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-37136653086368031312010-03-10T13:38:18.895-07:002010-03-10T13:38:18.895-07:00You are very funny!

People like you give me hope that it will someday happen. :)Alishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08184098055512959374noreply@blogger.com
