Just Let Me Quilt

In just two days we'll start seeing some amazing embroidery work...I can't wait! My day is on March 26th (whew, for once I'm not on the first or second day--thanks, Jane!)

The cheerleader for this hop is Jane from Jane's Fabrics and Quilts. You know she'll make this a hop to remember, as will all those who are participating.

Since the schedule seems to change right up to the last minute before a hop, this link will get you the latest and greatest schedule for who will be hopping with us:

STITCH ME UP SCHEDULE

PLUS....

Did you see the ironing board giveaway over at Sew We Quilt?

If you didn't, you better go there now to enter her giveaway of

that amazing ironing board--it's no ordinary ironing board, just so you know!

Or don't and that will give me a bigger and better chance to win. LOL!

Just A Pinch Of Leprechauns

~Happy St. Patrick's Day~

I have a little Irish in me thanks

to my Armstrong ancestors who came to America and settled

in New York, so just call me Tater McWoozy!

Follow You....How?

With the news of Google Reader no longer being available after July 1st, bloggers of the world have been scrambling to find ways to read their favorite blogs. Thankfully, all the blogs I'm following will still show-up on my Blogger Dashboard (which has no connection to those readers) and will let me scroll through them with little snippets of information which is good for those days when I have limited time.

To read/see entire blog posts on a page, alternatives for Google Reader are Feedly or Bloglovin...I'm using both right now to see which one is easiest for me. So far, they both are pretty cool and easy to use. They've made the transition so easy with quick steps to move all the gazillion blogs we follow over to their blog reading sites.

Some blogs I KNOW I've been following aren't showing up in those readers, so I've had to click the "Follow" button to ensure that I can continue to ~~stalk~~ follow my favorite blogs at all hours of the night/day from the privacy of my own home.

If you want to follow me on Bloglovin, that little button on the top should make it easy for you or you can click one of the buttons over on the right of my blog for other ways to follow. Confused? Don't care? Yep, I think we're all stepping into a social media overload! Facebook, Blogger, Feedly, Bloglovin, Google+.....WOW!

The Nancy Drew Party's Over..

But....it's time for a new blog hop party!

Jane's the cheerleader for this one so you know it will be a fabulous hop

and of course Madame Samm will have cool giveaways from wonderful sponsors!

I had so much fun with the Nancy Drew Here's A Clue blog hop

(mystery link-up glitches and all)

and was so excited to see all the projects that

were shown from around the world.

You just leave me in awe with your talent and creativity.

There was so much amazing stuff, wasn't there!

Thanks to all of you who played along with the clues!

Mystery Solved! There's A Winner!

I printed out ALL those names from all eight clue posts (there were lots of them
and it took me longer to cut them up then I thought it would),

put them in a big, big bowl,

stirred them around, and around, and around...

(whew...got a little dizzy doing that),

and reached in to grab this one little piece of paper:

Congratulations to

Jeanie!

(An email has been sent to her.)

What did she win? Well...thanks to Jane and her
cute little Etsy store, I picked out this Domestic Diva fabric package
which Jane will be sending off to her. I love that fabric and thought
maybe I should keep it instead of giving it to Jeanie,
but...she won it fair and square, so I won't keep it.
