Welcome!
Welcome!
*
This is a wonderful opportunity to meet & greet bloggers from around the world!
Thank you Vicky for organizing this fun event.
*
"Greetings, my name is Carolyn and I'm so glad to meet you."
*
Blogging. Why do I do it? Why do you?
I find it's my lifeline to the outside world!
I live in a village on the Saskatchewan prairies of 175 people.
I am Mom to 2 , a step~mom to 1, Grams to 2, foster mom to 1, soulmate to 1 and
Mama to this sweetie, too!
*
I have met so many fabulous people online from all over the planet that
share my passion for quilting, as well as
cross stitch,
blackwork (this is new to me)
*
*
and
a revived interest in sewing clothes.
I've also taken a turn at both bear and doll making.
As well, I create jewellery.
*
I blog to connect. I blog to share. I blog to socialize. I blog to learn.
OH! Yes!
"There's another reason I blog..."to have GIVEAWAYS!"
*
Since I am delving back into jewellery making,
I thought this would be appropriate!
*
Drop earrings with unusual stones, Poseidon's Tribute is a gorgeous stone cut in a
cathedral shape and in shades of gold and blues.
Coupled with lovely crystal matte beads these earrings are so pretty.
The wire the beads and stones are threaded on and the
secure lever back ear wires are gold plate and gold tone respectively.

those are lovely stitches and this farm is my passion and that includes everything about it - spinning, churning, baking, cooking, sewing, knitting, quilting and the animals. visiting via Vicki's GYBParty and enjoying your blog post.
ReplyDeleteMy passion is my kids with quilting next in line. I am looking forward to seeing your creations in jewelry. It is nice to return to an old familiar passion. I, of course, follow you! ;). The earrings are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHello, Carolyn. My passion is my family followed by quilting and gardening. Thanks for the chance. I enjoyed your post. Good to me you via GYB.
ReplyDeleteHello Carolyn, nice to meet you - I can't imagine living in such a remote place...as another commenter said, I guess it's fun sometimes, but not so fun at other times! I guess my passion is for Life, but of course I love my dear Mr FD, our four cats and the crafting I do. I am also what is called, here in France, "a gourmande" - someone who loves their food! - as my Fat Dormouse blog shows!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll pop over and enter my Giveawaus on my two blogs
dormouse.wibsite.com
fatdormouse.blogspot.com
You have made many beautiful things. My passion is quilting but I am also getting back to some cross stitch.
ReplyDeleteI follow you through google friends.
ReplyDeleteCross stitch, bear and doll making, and jewellery definitely my cup of tea. I am very curious about how the joints for bears work. I was looking at one of online shops for bear making and the materials sounded extremely complex. Will look about for your creations.
ReplyDeleteAbout me ... well you have already discovered my small blog. My passions ... probably too many to list. I love books, painting, jewellery, doll making, cross stitch (hence the blog) ... I even dream that some day people will cross stitch my things (gosh awfully personal). I have a small crafty/family based business and in the world of real life want to be an accountant. I want to help people make their dreams and small businesses come true ... that sounded awfully soppy. I should probably stop ... after all one should not mention the stamp collecting, and the postcards, and ehm potentially even soap making.
Happy partying!
