A friend of mine mentioned the other day that you could see how many people are reading your blog under the "stats" tab on the blogger dashboard. So I looked. Sometimes there are over 60 page views in one day! There are people reading the blog from as far away as Russia, Sri Lanka, Brazil, Latvia, Greece and Japan....who knew? There are times when I can't even get my hubby to listen to what I have to say....and he loves me! I couldn't imagine how they found my blog, but being the very curious person that I am, I decided to ask that question. On top of that, I was trying to figure out how to get these anonymous readers to post something. So I'm doing my first ever GiveAway! I made this really cute Sewer's Organizer yesterday. (The giveaway is for the organizer only, not the contents in the photo) The pattern is available on a free download from
Butterick. One lucky reader will win this organizer! You can enter by posting your first name, where you are from, and how you found my blog. Anyone can enter and you only need to post once. A winner will be chosen at random next Friday the 12th of November.
My name is Regena

ReplyDeleteI'm Jill. I found your blog through a few apron swaps we had in common and have enjoyed reading your posts. I live in the Northeast.
ReplyDeleteI'm Madelyn from NJ. I found you through the Flirty Apron and Hot Mama Apron Swaps. You post about the neatest projects.
ReplyDeleteI'm Loretta and I am not sure how I happened to stumble across your blog....but I'm glad I did. I now have you saved in my Favorites and I check back frequently. I'm from Georgia (US).
ReplyDeleteHi Loretta! Nice to meet you :)
ReplyDeleteMy name is Marcia L. Jackson. I live in Anaheim, California. I found out about your blog from all of your Facebook postings sharing the creative projects that you make.
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm April and I live in AZ - but I'm originally from Modesto, CA. I really don't remember how I found you (I think it was a google search for National Tie One On Day.) but I love reading about all your projects - it makes me envy the time you have to spend on them!! (I can sit down to do a potholder, figuring I'll have it done in no time, but I get busy and the next thing I know it's HOURS later and I'm still at it!) I do love sewing, though. Used to make a lot of clothes, but I find crafty sewing to be much more fun. My mother did dressmaking & alterations as a business out of the home, and she started teaching me when I was very young, so it's in my blood. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you're participating in Tie One On Day - I want to but there is no way I will be able to make an apron between now and then. My goal is to have one for next year! I love aprons (and cooking).
Hi April! Nice to meet you! My mom was a professional seamstress so I grew up covered in thread too! Got my first real machine when I was 8. I agree that crafty sewing is more fun because you don't have to worry about whether it's going to fit or not :)
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up on your giveaway. I love that organizer, how cute! I'd love to win it...and I know what you mean about seeing the stats of blog visitors...sometimes I see a location and think, "Whaat??? How in the world did they find my blog?"
