Now, I'm glad to be back, but of course, during the holidays it again feels overwhelming. <br />I'm glad to be back because it gives my crafty/reading/spiritual life focus. There are times like this week's post where I don't have much sewing to post, but I know the ladies in bloglandia will love me anyway. <br />That's the wonderful gift of bloggers - we appreciate each other without judgement. <br />If you need to take time off, do so. Hit the pause button and return when you are ready. We'll be here. :) hugs to you!Miaisminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657955150576729566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787769150365145144.post-16740736601802042932021-12-17T09:58:28.392-05:002021-12-17T09:58:28.392-05:00I think of you as prolific when it comes to the qu...I think of you as prolific when it comes to the quilting world and all it entails...like showing pretty fabric, beautiful quilting, hosting a stitch along, providing quilty links,etc. I always think it is the folks who are professionals who continually have new work/finishes to share. For the rest of us, we show when we have some progress on this or that and speaking for myself, I rarely have finishes as I prefer working on big projects. I absolutely love your blog with its mixture of stitching, food, recipes and what you are up to. That makes it a blog I return to to read and be inspired too. I know you have to do what is best for you and no pressure here but I would be disappointed if you gave up blogging.

Some days tho my blogosphere gives me somewhere to go for inspiration and weirdly, comfort. It has certainly helped immensely when all my physical contacts have been limited the last 2 years. I love the linking and have found amazing sites and people thru the link parties. I am sure we would all be fine either way. Thank you for what you have done and do what is best for you! <br />Have a great Christmas! Stay safe and sew on !Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937316977935542600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787769150365145144.post-37976028308766645442021-12-16T06:59:54.747-05:002021-12-16T06:59:54.747-05:00Good morning Pat :) Maybe you can just slow down y...Good morning Pat :) Maybe you can just slow down your blogging? Not stop all together, but blog less often. I have gotten so lazy on taking pictures to upload, that I rarely blog at all anymore... as you well know ;)... But I do miss it and keep telling myself to do more. Anyways, my point is, do as much or as little as you feel like, it's your blog, and I always enjoy reading it, but I do understand the need to slow down and stop blogging so much. Or being busy with other things, etc. ((HUGS)) Have a lovely day.Dorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161301722715338900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787769150365145144.post-82891265026845463352021-12-15T20:34:59.386-05:002021-12-15T20:34:59.386-05:00I often struggle with this - usually it presents i...I often struggle with this - usually it presents itself by my posting far less often (as with most of this year). However I would be sad to give it up entirely. I do enjoy the people and reading about their projects and daily musings. Totally up to you Pat. Don't fret over it. Do the parts that bring you pleasure. I like the link up but it is work so again, if it brings you pleasure. Happy holidays to you!!Bernie Kringelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753481379287809548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787769150365145144.post-12279291800184070142021-12-15T17:59:04.030-05:002021-12-15T17:59:04.030-05:00I'm there also every end of the year.

Sometimes life is too busy to answer all comments on your own blog or read and comment other blogs. But I'm there to enjoy your blogs, even if I'm silent. Happy that you'll go on blogging. And I love linky parties, so I hope you'll be there.Turidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01162096821636221091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787769150365145144.post-22521415076331171222021-12-15T16:12:24.933-05:002021-12-15T16:12:24.933-05:00I always enjoy the show & tells. And I don...I always enjoy the show & tells. And I don't view you as a "no sew, no show" at all. Sometimes life is just busy! I find it helpful to do "bulk prep". I will often prepare multiple posts and schedule them for publication, including social media scheduling. It is helpful in that there is SOMETHING ready to go if I don't get to it to tweak or adjust as needed before the actual publish date.<br /><br />If that doesn't appeal to you how about asking for volunteers to host it, like the TGIFF link?Melvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136209056960798231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7787769150365145144.post-35378486654309737322021-12-15T10:41:05.049-05:002021-12-15T10:41:05.049-05:00thank you for the blog hops poster!thank you for the blog hops poster!LA Paylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06553491768819243802noreply@blogger.com
