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 ♥

2. My blog is about my life–renovating our condo, cooking for two, crafts and projects, our puppy, and working through my bucket list.
3. I love to travel–I went to Dublin for St. Patrick’s Day last year and then toured the rest of the British Isles with my best friend. I’m planning a trip to Paris with another best friend for this Fall, and my husband and I are working our way through visiting all of the baseball parks in the US!
4. My favorite things are Fall, coffee, and a good book : )

1. Hello there! I’m Nicole and my blog is http://www.craftmysoul.blogspot.com
2. My blog is about Me and my journey in life and in crafting/sewing. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. My slogan I guess you could say is “Crafting my life, Crafting my soul, living in my craft world”
3. Besides sewing and crafting I love singing, the outdoors, camping and boating. I am recently engaged so you might see some wedding planning tips and tutorials soon!
4. A favorite is yummy smelling things. I love the smell of cotton candy and roasted marshmallows!

1. My name is Laura and my blog is called Just For Love: http://www.justforluv.org. My shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/justforluv
2. My blog is all about the things I LOVE : ) God’s love, my walk with Him, my family, my hobbies, crafts/tutorials, recipes, raising funds for missions, you name it! My shop is all about the original handmade fabric flower accessories I make. But, a few other items thrown in turn it into my imaginary/online vintage boutique! The biggest reason I started making handmade goods was to help raise funds/awareness for the orphan and world hunger crisis going on all around us. I am only one person, but I believe one person with Godly determination can make a BIG difference! I prayed for creative ideas on where to start and the rest is history : ).
3. My childhood nickname growing up was Bippy. My family still calls me that to this day!
4. My favorite? Being greeted by a little smiling face, a “Hi Mommy!”, and a big, wet kiss EVERY morning by my two year old son. There’s always something a little magical about that moment each day. I also happen to love Starbucks lattes (who doesn’t?), pretty fabric, big HUGE bags, sunglasses, high heels, skinny jeans, pretty new shades of lip gloss, and snuggles with my Hubb Muffin : )

Hey Gus! My name is Kristi. My blog started out as way to keep friends and family updated about the birth of our first son Brady. It is SLOWLY growing in to a place where I write, decompress, process and talk about everyday life. I love to read and have an affection for Starbucks daily! I also travel a ton and choose to be outside any opportunity I can even if I live in snowy Chicago. My favorite things include my kindle, the gym (seriously, I LOVE to go) and organizing/planning things.
[Reply]
HI! I love your idea for creating community. So fun.. what a great group of readers you have!
I’m Dani Nichols, and I blog at . My blog is “the ramblings of a small-town girl in a big city life”.
I worked as a wrangler (hence the name) for several years and still teach horseback riding on the side… I’m a freelance writer full-time. As far as favorites… I love sunsets, the smell of hot dirt after rain, kayaking, fresh haircuts, twinkle lights, strong coffee and free time with my hubby.

4. My new favorite addiction is fashion blogs!
[Reply]
Oooh fun!
My name is Beth and my blog is http://www.auntbeff.blogspot.com The blog is just about my life in general. It started as a place for me to record things I thought of and weird stuff that happened to me (and believe me, there’s PLENTY of that) and has turned into a way to keep my family/friends up to date on what’s happening with our little boy since many of them don’t see him regularly. Something fun – I used to be an auditor (don’t worry – that’s not the fun part) and my job PAID me to go to places like Australia and Hawaii! I have been so blessed to see so much of the world! Right now my favorite is waking up early, having a cup (or three) of coffee, and listening to my sweet baby boy “talk” to me.
Thanks for doing this! I can’t wait to check out all the other replies!
P.S. Got a “chatty gus” for Christmas from my s-i-l and I LOVE it!

hi! I’m Julie, and my blog is http://www.back2basicsblog.com. I blog about being a SAHM to our 17 month old son, Brayden, my photography interests, recipes, cute finds online, and anything in between. I used to be a teacher’s aide and I really enjoy going back to my former place of work to see everyone and get the chance for some adult conversation! Most substitute teachers might not be able to say that! :) Some of my favorite things are Brayden’s giggles, Peppermint Mocha coffee creamer, a good book, bubble baths, cuddles with my husband, and looking at fashion blogs.

My name is Jenn and my blog is More the Murrayer {www.morethemurrayer.com}. I have an etsy shop in the works but Shhhhh…we don’t talk about that much because it’s, well, empty and I’m still afraid to stock it. ;)
2. what is your blog or shop about?
Happy places and bits of fun! Or, if you’re looking for a more specific answer: a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I have a bit of an A.D.D. thing going on over there. And over here. And everywhere. Mostly it’s at catch all for everything I love ~ you’ll find music, all kinds of kids/family stuff, poems and scriptures, with some book reviews and links to other cool places thrown in.
3. share something fun about yourself.
Had to turn to my middlest little for this one. She says I am fun “because [I am] creative and like to do fun things like making jewelry and sewing and arts and crafts. Oh! And sometimes we like to go on nature walks.”
4. what is something that’s a “favorite”?
I like to pass the buck when it’s time to talk about myself. {See #3 above. LOL}
No, seriously, a cup of coffee or tea with a little while to read or sew is favorite little piece of heaven.

kids stuff right now, but also some adult. 3. Hmm…I love a good
cup of tea with friends. I’m quite social and an over analyzer. 4.
Snuggling with my sweet family in bed on a Saturday morning.
Nothing beats that for me these days, especially with number three
due in 3 months! Although, a good movie, a crochet project and a
cup of tea are also pretty awesome :)

4. Snuggling with my sweet family in bed on a Saturday morning. Nothing beats that for me these days, especially with number three due in 3 months! Although, a good movie, a crochet project and a cup of tea are also pretty awesome :)

I’m a little late, but I’ll jump in anyway! :)
I’m Jacky, and you’ll find me blogging at The Sweetest Petunia {http://sweetestpetunia.blogspot.com} My blog is all about capturing the sweet moments in life, finding inspiration along the way. Something fun about me? Um, I have a collection of coffee mugs that keeps growing & growing. I’ve already told the sweetheart that we won’t need to buy mugs when we get married! Obviously, I love curling up with a cup of coffee, browsing blogs, handmade inspiration…I also love to sew and crochet. Good literature is a must! Pretty much, I’m just a girl with a blog, who loves beauty, creativity & community.
