to say Thank you to Green Eye Crafts and Sewing, for Cat People for thinking about my blog and nominating me for this “Blogger Recognition Award”. (After posting, I noticed that Confident Beginner also nominated me. Thank you!)
Like many bloggers, I started “Nice dress! Thanks, I made it!!” because I was totally/completely/utterly lacking sewing buddies! So I started stalking/following all of you, quietly at first. But I just couldn’t keep quite anymore so I threw in a comment here and there. Then there was no stopping me. I was having so much fun!
I started my blog in 2013 and from then on I reached out for more – FaceBook, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram. Is there anything I am missing? It certainly has turned into an addiction that I cannot stop!
So if you are lacking in sewing buddies like I was, start by stalking/following other bloggers, like I did. Sign up on a social media site, one or all – it all depends on you! Comment on a few posts and you will have all the sewing buddies you will ever need. The sewing community is a friendly place to share and learn! Don’t worry if it doesn’t come to you right away, like sewing, blogging takes patience and practice … try this, try that … always keep learning!
I’d like to give this award to some special blogging buddies who rose to the Challenge in December – that is the DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER CHALLENGE – and thank them. I know I’m not listing all the blog titles/links here, some just might have the sites where they entered the Challenge:
@heheheplusshe
@amshina
I’m also going to add in these bloggers, because they have something unique to offer too:
If those I’ve named choose to participate, the rules for receiving this award are as follows:
- Thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
- Write a post to show your award.
- Give a brief story of how your blog started.
- Give two pieces of advice to new bloggers.
- Select 15 other bloggers you want to give this award to.
and Happy Blogging!

Congrats, Linda, you deserve it…and thank you too, for nominating me in return. I’m tickled, and needed the kindness…my Grandmother suddenly and shockingly died yesterday. Thus, it might take me a few days to put a blog post together, but I will gladly accept. Finding room to think is hard at the moment 🙂 I liked reading your post, sewing is indeed such a happy “addiction”! I’m glad to have you as a blogging/social sewing buddy!
I’m so sorry your Grandmother passed. Take your time, and don’t feel obligated to join in at all! I’m happy to have you as a buddy too! Take care! 💕
Thank you, Linda. Times are hard now but I need to keep going and do the things I always do…take care, too.
Congratulations Linda! Sewing blogging buddies are just the best, whatever did we do without them! I still can’t believe I’ve not got so many real life friends who sew because of of blogging, and that I’ve even met Jen from your side of the pond. Truly amazing!!
Thankyou for the nomination, I’ve quite a bit on at the minute but if I can get my brain into gear I will try and join in 😍
Thank you! I had to include my DESIGNIN’ DECEMBER buddies – but I don’t want ANYONE to feel pressured to join in. It’s a choice!
