Trying to promote BLOGGING! 💻

Such fun, Mel @December Stitches interviewed me via Instagram a couple of weeks ago. 
It was so lovely to chat with her and I talked about my "old school" blogging!
You never know, maybe we'll get some new bloggers, Mel included!
You should be able to see it here...

It's something she does pretty regularly on her Instagram page - December Stitches.
I met her at Amy's shop, Born To Stitch, on the first day she opened in November. She interviewed her there and brought a wonderful trunk show.
That post is here, in case you missed it.

Here are their new releases coming to Market.
Elvis
Mel also did a tutorial on how he was made.

Naughty List
I'm thinking I really "need" this one!


Feathered Friends - May


I think that's it, but I'll find out for sure next week!

Blogging world has changed a lot over years..so many people stopped blogging and new stitchers use Instagram. Even I'm returning to blogging and can use some audience :)

Great post, my DIY blog is still important to me, keep me busy on my WIP. Great show, love Elvis! xxx

Yes, its an odd space now, the blogging space. I still get lots of google recorded "visits" from all over the world. But, how many are real people is debatable, and the number that leave a comment is minimal (I am always delighted when one appears now) I sometimes feel it is as much a crafting diary for me as it is something shared.

I started blogging years ago primarily to keep track of what I make and for our kids to check if they wanted to (they rarely do). Slowly I managed to get a few followers which came as a complete surprise to me. I know a lot of the blogging community moved over to Instagram but I've had no desire to go that route and now it seems like a lot of people are coming back to blogging again.

That cat Christmas tree is so cute! I might "need" that one too. :)

By the way, you commented that you really liked the Autumn Key kit from Mill Hill that I finished a little while ago. I'd be happy to send you the chart and leftover materials if you'd like! Email me - rahenna@rahenna.com :)

I may need Elvis! I think blogging is still viable. I'm on Instagram but like blogging better. I'm happy with 1 comment! There are times when I do a 'reread' of my blog, well, the pages that still have pictures! There are many where the pictures are blank.

How fun. Blogging has changed a lot. Seems like Flosstube is the new thing to do. I'm enjoying it but I keep coming back to see the blog world too haha.

Hello Astrid: What a honor for you to be interviewed and to have Amy interviewed. The Elvis design is so much fun, adorable designs all of them.
