I missed my 1 year anniversary. I missed my 100th post. But today, my dear peeps, this is my 200th post. So before I tell you about the 200th Post-O-Rama Giveaway, I thought I’d share some blogging love.
I started my blog mid 2002, on zannestar.com, which I lost to some boob mid 2006. I started so I could somehow keep in touch with friends and family. I felt like I had lost touch, and being so spread out, we don’t see each other often and I felt like this was a great way to let those I care about know more about me and what I was doing. I had hoped it would strike up dialogue, and it has. You don’t see most of it. I get wonderful emails all the time. Keeping in touch is good for the soul.
I started with posting about my knitting adventures. I was stuck in a job with a horrible human being for a boss and needed a new creative outlet. I bough a knitting book, a pair of needles and the yummiest pink wool yarn. I posted about my progress, linking to others. Anyway – that part is all gone now.
Now, I post about my inspiration. Things I think about and do. Sort of like my creative brain dump journal. I can tell you about my favorite things, and save them (so I can find them later), I can share stories and pictures, gathering information and organizing it (everything has it’s place).
I love the blogging community. It’s saved me from complete and total isolation after leaving NYC for the remote hills of Western Mass. It’s helped me connect and relate to other new moms, now more experienced moms, share my creations and inspirations with other makers of things. It’s greatly improved my letter (and email) writing skills. It’s kept me inspired and has been a part of my creativity for the last few years. What an amazing group of people to belong to. I admire and respect you all!
ok, enough gush gush. On to the details:
I ‘ve labored over this for months. The giveaway isn’t finalized yet, but here’s the concept:
- A gaggle of goodies meant to inspire.
- A few finished pieces and some supplies to get you started on something else.
- A handmade pin cushion, a handmade tote, a few of my favorite vintage buttons.
- Some yarn, some fabric, some trimmings and notions.
- and more goodies.

The deal:
