              Sheree at Sheree’s Alchemy has a most enviable stash, and I just won a small part of it. You can get in on Sheree’s giveaways, too, just by signing up to be on her mailing list. (I shouldn’t tell you that, as now my chances at future giveaways are diminished.)

              Here is some of what you can win in the future:

              Doesn’t that make you just DROOL?

              And here’s what I won:

              I’m going to be pestering my mail man until the package arrives.

              Welcome to my new blog on my brand new domain! I’m glad you found me. I hope you’ll be patient as I find my way around. I’ll probably be changing themes frequently at first. Please let me know if you have a preference.

                When I look at my blog stats, one referrer is almost always near or at the top of the list. Suzical maintains the amazing BIG LIST of SEWING BLOGS, and it must get tons and tons of traffic, because a small but not insignificant portion of it is coming my way. Thanks for maintaining the list, Suzi, and for having me on it.

                By the way, in addition to THE LIST, Suzi herself has a blog, and a tutorial for an iPod cozy—it’s a super easy and well photographed tutorial, that could be easily adapted to other electronics.

                Thanks again, Suzi, for all the new readers you bring my way.
