Time for the Grow Your Blog Party!

January 18, 2013 By Cathy Habermann 54 Comments

I took my 3 wonderful followers and joined the party! Actually, I read about this on my Superstar Serial Starter & Divined Disciplined Diva Facebook group (yes, it’s a real group…I love all 1,120 members!) Since I am now a “blogger” and know just enough to be dangerous…I thought I would give it a try.

No stitchy posts this weekend- I get to be Mom all No stitchy posts this weekend- I get to be Mom all weekend. Billy just got home from an amazing trip out west where he got to white water raft, ride a gondola, hike in a national park (where they saw all kinds of wildlife), swim, go to a real rodeo, go on an alpine rail, make new friends and so much more. 

I missed him so much (even though he doesn’t live with us every day…yep, the mom in me knew he was far away 😊) - we are so thankful to the Let’s Go West team for planning & documenting this trip. He’s staying on with us a few more days …I was even excited to do his laundry!?!?🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Did you know that when I released Well Hello There - we called those adorable buttons that grace each stitch every month 'button-moji's'?? 

Button-moji packs are still available from my dear friends @justanotherbuttoncompany - I don't know that button-moji ever caught on as a word but they sure look cute

A little 'down-time' between HOD models, I started A little 'down-time' between HOD models, I started Harvest Lilies from my good friend Tracy @inkcircles.xs - I switched up the linen for 32ct Rosewood @fabrics.by.steph & called for threads with Sulky 12wt. I do have a yellow pulled for the negative space that looks kinda quilty. I'm thinking about leaving it like it is...what do you think?
