How did you start writing your blog?
And when you got your first comment how did you feel? I found a new blog friend this week and commented on her post, then another and then another. I like reading back posts when I find a new person. It makes them more of a full personality to me. But it got me thinking; how did I start writing my blog? And when did I get my first comment (and who off?) My first post was called Angel Jem; From Mess to Less. Ho hum, that aim has never quite happened, has it? And my first commenter was the lovely Cherry Menlove. I'd been a blog-hopper for ages, had been leaving comments on others blogs and then decided I should probably dip my toe in and go for it. Cherry Menlove was one of my favourite reads, and I was delighted that she stopped by and commented! Back then (2007) there didn't seem to be that many blogs out there. Everybody knew Posy and Yarncraft and Cherry Menlove and Dottie Angel , and people popped up for a few years and then disappeared. Some blogged to promote...
Ooh I'm getting excited already!!! You did make me laugh with what you said about Keira-I can't stand her!! I find her pout really irritating!!
ReplyDeleteI'm already planning xmas decorations - it's silly really, but I just love the run up to christmas. I love shops glittering with lights at 4pm, when it's icy-cold and dark. Heaven.
ReplyDeleteNow that the weather is turning cooler where I am and the new academic term has started I really do feel it's getting closer to Christmas and I am sooo excited!!
ReplyDeleteHope your cold is getting better!
I really enjoyed catching up on your blog.I hope you are feeling better,I think that the wavy blanket is gorgeous and you could give Cath Kidston a run for her money easily.
ReplyDeleteI did read on one blog that the CK crochet blanket was of poor quality by CK standards and badly made too !!!!!
I always eat gingerbreadmen in twos,so sad to die alone !!!
The book stats are amazing I read lots of books and have since I was four so I must have read well over their estimate of 500 or so.
As for Christmas,I started shopping months ago,I just love it.

ReplyDeleteAnd so many beautiful posts on blogs around Xmas !
Sorry but that is just plain scary - I'd better be getting busy then!
ReplyDeleteSo - I am more than a bit slow - this really is an actual countdown to Christmas. Thanks so much. I have 'plans' to have a crafty stall at the school Christmas fair,open an Etsy shop, make a fabric rheindeer advent calendar, make as many of my presents as poss, make a Christmas cake and some decorations. No sleep 'til January then - cheers luv xxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteOh I love this Christmas countdown, but it is a little worrying when I think of all the stock that I need to make in the next couple of weeks!
