I always love when I find a reader or blogger online that I can really relate + connect with. {Hello! All of my Minnesota friends were found through this blog, which is so awesome.}
Yesterday I had coffee with a budding entrepreneur and as we talked I told her that I wouldn’t be sitting with her if it weren’t for community and the generosity of others. True story; read about that here.
Community is one of my favorite parts of my blog // this job. I’m making one of my goals for 2011 be to connect with more people daily and weekly.
Will you help me? >> If you have a minute, can you please answer these 4 questions about yourself? And if you remember, come back tomorrow and read through the comments left. Maybe you’ll find a reader that you’ll be able to connect with, too :]
Here are the questions:
1. what is your name and blog/shop URL?
2. what is your blog or shop about?
3. share something fun about yourself.
4. what is something that’s a “favorite”?
*
I’ll go first and answer them :]
1. Gussy — www.gussysews.com and www.shopgussy.com
2. sewing ruffles; blog/biz how-to posts; craft/handmade features & giveaways; our pup, Bauer
3. when zack was visiting {and getting ready to propose} he had to find new hiding places all evening for my ring because he knew i was snooping around, wishing&hoping for the proposal to come true ;]
4. i looooooove to sit outside with sunglasses on and just relax!
Lisa Leonard recently shared tips on creating/establishing community, as did Allora Handmade. Hope you read them! ;]
PS. LOOK at this — that’s sewing machine #2! Zack’s grandma gave me my first machine for Christmas two years ago and this time we were in Michigan I bought the above machine from her. I can’t wait to re-arrange my studio {on my list for today!} and get both machines set up. yeow :]
Pretty please with a ruffle on top, remember to answer the 4 questions ♥
Hi! I’m Rebekah from North Carolina and our family blog is yestoadoption.blogspot.com. It is mainly about adoption as we are in the Ethiopian adoption process! I do love to craft/sew and part of the ways we are making money for the adoption is selling crafty things! I just got my sewing machine last Christmas and it has been the best year ever!!

3. something fun about myself is that i know my boyfriend is going to propose in the next couple of weeks – we are terrible about keeping secrets. plus he went on a major spending freeze the past few months to pay for the ring-so when we stopped going out on dates and he took the bus everywhere i knew something was up. i’m practicing patience and not snooping because i know the ring is in his closet of his {studio} apartment!

~I’m a newlywed (Last July!) and am loving every second of it! We’re still in college so neither of us have married friends yet…a lot of people think we’re crazy for getting married so young (22 and 23 isn’t THAT young, right?) but we don’t care. ;)

Hi, all! 1. Steph, and I have two blogs:
http://howtohostess.wordpress.com/ and http://3pmu.wordpress.com/
2. The How to Hostess is about…hostessing! I love parties and all
the planning, cooking, and crafting that comes with them. 3PMU is
short for 3 PM Pick Me Up, I post something fun at 3 PM every
weekday to break up afternoon monotony. 3. Instead of New Year’s
resolutions, I make a list of 12 things I have never done and then
check one off every month. This past year included singing karaoke
(very badly), baking a pie from scratch (tasty, but not pretty),
and going to a country western bar (fun!). 4. Sunday mornings, our
local rock station plays all 80′s rock songs. They call it
Resurrection Sunday and I love it!

I’m Kate, and I blog about food, recipes and cooking but with personal stories and memoirs slipped in. I’ll throw in a few pinches of family for flavor, add a dash of life to keep it interesting and occasionally an ingredient or two that surprises. I like to keep people entertained. And fed.
Something fun about myself is that I’m ambidextrous for everything except writing. I’m working on that one though.
Favorites? Telling a story and sharing a food memory that reaches right into a readers soul and touches them profoundly.

My website is http://www.gathered-sown.com. My business is handcrafted bags & things. I love the creativity I’m able to express every day, while making money to help support my family. This is the first year where both of my daughters (babies as I see them!) are in school full time, so I’ve found that my business is following accordingly…I have more time to sew, I sell more stuff. Yay!
Something fun? I am a really bad cook. I mean really bad. And I have kids, so I hate to admit most of their meals come from a can, frozen bag or, on a really bad day…a box! I love to freezer cook with friends, to steal ideas, and tips, so if anyone blogs about that…..:)
What do I love? My girlfriends! The ladies God placed in my life as encouragement, support and accountablilty has been nothing short of amazing. I love my husband, but lets face it, he can never be my girlfriend ;)

Hey! I’m Heidi from NC and my blog is http://www.restinginthemystery.blogspot.com. It’s blog about me, my kids, my husband, what God is teaching me, crafts, just whatever I’m in the mood for. Something fun…I’ve known my husband since I was 14, we dated off & on in high school, didn’t talk for 5 years, ran into each other and married 7 mths later :) I love creating things: sewing, knitting, trying to crochet, baking, etc.

I blog about homeschooling, my girls, the fun and crazy events of our lives as a family and as pastors.
Something fun? I can not sew at ALL and I do love seeing the things you create! Weird thing – my HUSBAND can sew and has a machine. But, he only bought it to sew some clothes for Rangers (like boy scouts) and then a puppet curtain for church (we are children’s pastors). He is amazing like that. All of them were perfect. His first time sewing. Amazing.
I love reading, blogging, family and sitting with friends over coffee. So sad to have missed your panera get together! :(
