You know that moment when you're travelling in a new place and you stop to look at one of those billboard maps... and they have a big red arrow saying: "You are here"?
Well, consider this post to be that arrow.
I wanted to do a bit of looking (and linking) back to where this blog has journeyed, point out a few of the signs along the way, and even look ahead to a few more destinations here.
----------------------------------------------
If you're relatively new to this blog, I want to extend a special welcome ~ glad to have you perch at this nest! You can learn a bit more about who I am/why I blog by peeking in here. Or, if you'd rather watch/hear me ramble via video (vlog) you can hop here and here.
Or, if you've been here for quite a while ~ thanks for still coming back again, I hope it's starting to feel like home for you!
Now, if you look to the right (you'll miss everything on the left.. baha! sorry...)...um, where was I? Oh right, the right side-bar --------------------------------------------> is where you'll see some fancy new buttons to make 'finding' and 'following' this blog easier for you. I also finally caved, and added that "Google friends" gadget for those of you who want to join the nest of fine feathered friends. Lovely!
Another feature on that side bar is called Popular Posts... which is pretty self explanatory, but I bring it up only to point out this staggering fact: having written 490 posts (to date) the most popular one is still that blasted "D.I.Y: upcycle shirts into toddler harem pants"!! I'm now convinced that 1/4 of the world has viewed this post (who knew so many want to sew harem pants?!). Actually, 4, 255 people to be exact. What kills me is that this was the very first in-depth d.i.y I ever posted (since then I've done over 60 new projects).
I love creating. I love inspiring others to create. I love my Creator.
I photograph. I ponder. I pontificate.
I sew. I style (upcycled fashion). I stay-at-home-mama it.
---------------------------
I'm currently storing up the photos of upcoming d.i.y's, upcycled fashion (bloopers) and more sentiments on parenting... while we still wait for our new laptop cord to arrive.
(I can't load pictures on to this fossil I'm currently using).
But I just wanted to say I'm glad you are here, I'm honoured to be part of your journey.
I'm also curious what brought you here?
For those who have the time/desire to comment, I'd love to hear what the first post was you read here was... and/or why? (I already know many of my favourite readers/blog friends first arrived via those harem pants!) hehe.
Creatively yours,
Mel ;o)
