Hello new friends.

I'm linking up to the Small Blog Meet Up on Lily's Quilts.  My little blog has been around for a while and I seem to be picking up a bit more steam lately in terms of blog visits but it's still mostly friends and family who stop by to say hi.
Small Blog Meet
I'm supposed to write a bit about me and my quilting.  Here goes -
1.  I'm happily married for almost a year.
2.  I am mom to two furry kids.
3.  I'm very quickly approaching a scary birthday.
4.  I'm a quilter and knitter.
5.  I live so close to the beach but wish I had more time to see it.
6.  I LOVE to travel.
7.  I have the best job in the world and work for people that I love but still wish that I had maybe just one extra day each week to sew.
8.  My husband laughs because I say I'm going to sew but end up in my office reading quilting blogs.
9.  I feel like I need to have 10 of these facts.
10.  I adore blueberries.

I've been quilting now for about two and a half years.  Outside of one sad home ec sewing class (from which my mother still has the laughable mother's day apron), I didn't touch a sewing machine until a few years ago.  A friend and I decided in 2007 that we were going to learn to knit because we couldn't find any Christmas stockings that we liked.  Once I learned to knit, I realized that knitting stockings was pretty far down on my priority list.  Fast forward to 2009 and I still couldn't find those Christmas stockings so I decided that I wanted to learn to sew.  Quilting classes quickly followed.  I still haven't made those Christmas stockings. . . .

So, that's me.  Glad to meet you.

    Hi there. Let me be the first to comment. I too am a quilter and knitter. Both are so therapeutic. Look forward to seeing your projects soon.

    Hi
    I had a great laugh about you heading into your office do some sewing/blogging. I do the same thing!
    Love your iPad cover!

    Wow! I can't believe all of the comments in so few minutes! (I'm surprised my mom hasn't chimed in. . .)

    Hello to Carla and Patti. Nice to meet you!

    Erin - I think the sound of my fingers typing is much more likely around here than the hum of my machine. Oops.

    There's still time to make Christmas stockings - oh wait, it's August already, and if you are like me, they won't get done this year either!

    I haven't written my own introduction yet, but I feel like I could copy and paste your list :-)

    My mom is a prolific commenter and likes to tell me how much she loves me and that's ok because I love her that much right back.
