Six Year Blogiversary

Today marks my 6 year blogiversary! I can hardly believe I have been blogging for 6 years…

So much has happened in the past 6 years, it has been fun to journal it & sometimes look back even… In the past 6 years I learned to sew (and quilt), we moved across the country, added 2 more cats & 1 dog to our previously 1 cat household (total now = 3 cats + 1 dog, we are definitely outnumbered :), started my photography business, bought our first house… Just a few things ;)

Anyways, I have enjoyed being able to share my life, crafting, and photography in this space the last 6 years. So here is to another 6 years of blogging!

Of course, what would a blogiversary be without a giveaway right! For fun I thought I would give away a $50 Pink Chalk Fabrics gift certificate!! To enter just leave a comment on this post before Wednesday (the 1st).

To make it extra fun, if you want another two entries in the giveaway (to up your chances of winning) – subscribe to my blog in a feed reader & leave a comment to let me know you did (if you already subscribe that works too :)

For even more fun, if you want another five entries in the giveaway – write a post on your own blog about your favorite project, blog post, tutorial, or photo from my blog & leave a comment to let me know you did :)

Do all three & get 8 entries into the giveaway :) Good luck, I will announce the winner next Wednesday :)

Snow Storm

Just a few photos from the snowstorm this week… It was actually a pretty decent snowstorm by Seattle standards, along with some ice as well, and left us without power for over 16 hours. (By the time our power turned back on, it was 56 degrees F in our house – so we were quite glad when the heat kicked back in :) Anyways a few photos…While I am not a fan of the cold or snow, Kairo just absolutely loved it! It was like the world turned into one giant, frozen, teething toy just for him :) Our little snow puppy…

The deer looked beautiful against the snowy backdrop (although I don’t think they were fans)…

Hope everyone is staying warm wherever you are! (For those of you in the southern hemisphere, I am a bit jealous that you have summer right now :)

Changes

It has been kind of slow in coming, but you might have noticed a few changes popping up here & there on the blog (if you read in a feed reader – stop on over to take a look :). Since I plan on being in this space much more frequently this year (more on that later – although if you have not already noticed I have been posting a lot more since the beginning of the year), a sprucing up was definitely in order. I also have been playing around with a new watermark for my crafting photos, since I figured if people are looking at my crafting photos on pinterest or around the web, they might not connect them with my blog – so I now have a “sew click create” watermark along with my photography one. Oh & I finally am getting around to categorizing posts! My goodness after 6 years of posts it is taking some time, but I am excited to have categories so that you can just click & read about my sewing, photography, or whatever… Anyways, stop by & take a look if you read in a feed reader :)

(Totally unrelated photo, but I am wishing for spring right now – Seattle just got snowed on & around here even a few inches of snow is a huge deal… Coming from growing up in the midwest, it is kind of crazy to watch everything shut down…)
