Sorry for my absence here recently, but real life has temporarily gotten in the way of blog life.
I think that in couple of days time I will be back on track and normal blogging will resume.
I hope you're all well... I can't wait to catch up on you all!
While I was at work my family went swimming!
Do you realise what this means though... the weather was good enough to go swimming! Outside! Michel even got sunburnt! Could it possibly be that summer has come at last?!? Let's hope so... we all could do with a bit of sunshine on our faces.
I've had a bit of a blog block these past days, which is mainly due to the fact that I haven't been sewing for a while. We've also been spending some time with my sister who was back from England for a short visit. Amber and Simon we're happy to see her again.
I'm hoping to relax a little more. Even though Amber doesn't have to go to school, we still seem to be running around a lot. Tomorrow I'll just enjoy the lovely weather and perhaps I might even get some sewing done.
Oh, I finally finished Harry Potter! I promise I won't spoil anything, but mail me if you'd like to talk about it ;)
I've decided that this 200th is my official housewarming post.
It feels good here on Typepad... I'm staying!
I had plans to host a tea party... set a pretty table and serve some nice food. But I must be realistic... organising it would stress me out and chances are it will never happen.
So I'm afraid you're going to have to bring along your own food and drink... it's what we here call an "American party" ;)
Blogging is still providing me with lots of joy and a great sense of satisfaction. I've been keeping diaries ever since I was able to write, but I think that this is the most regular that I've ever been writing. It makes me proud that I'm keeping it up, although it isn't hard. I love documenting our lives and it's wonderful to know that in this way I'm preserving memories for myself and the children.
Of course, I also truly love the interaction with anyone who visits here. I'm still amazed that there are people from America, Australia and everywhere else coming here to read about my life. I love comments :)
As a thank-you I would like to give away two packages (*) to two people who leave a comment. I'll draw names on Friday. Lurkers, de-lurk!
Thank you all for making my blog feel like a place where friends can drop in whenever they want!
(*) The first package will contain a lovely handmade (not by me) apron and one of my patchwork pouches, the other will contain the cheery flowery bag and also one of my patchwork pouches. If you prefer one or the other, please say so.
Well, here I am in my new virtual home!
I'm excited to be continuing my weblog here on TypePad.
Still lots to explore & change. I managed to put up my own banner already, although it doesn't completely fit yet. The biggest challenge will be trying to move my archives from Blogger to here, but I'm sure I'll figure it out!
Ok, back to fiddling :)
People, I need you for advice! My lovely hubby (or hush puppy as my colleague said yesterday) wants to give me a Typepad-account for my birthday. I've been wanting to make the switch for quite some time and now he's made the decision for me... isn't he the sweetest?!
So just now I've been checking out the website and what I really want to know is whether Basic will be good enough, or do I really need to get Plus? What do you have and are you happy with it? Is Typepad the best choice anyway? Please, share your experiences with me! I'm so excited at the prospect of switching that I really want to do it NOW!
This photo does it no justice at all, but the sunrise was amazing this morning. A huge bright red ball of fire.
