It's a bloggy birthday..........

Wow 4 years ago I stepped out of my comfort zone here and into this amazing land of BLOG......
........I have met some gorgeous wonderful people all because I blog.............there is no way I would have met them - our lives would not have crossed otherwise...........I am so happy I made that decision...........
you all know who you are......XOXOXOXO............
.......so many special friends I will not try and name any for fear of missing someone...........
I have also made many friends via online only..........so many places in the world I want to visit......
.....the budget just won't allow me to venture off.............
SO THANKS for being such a great bunch of bloggers...........
I really only go to crafty blogs bar a couple of photography ones..........you are the best.
&&&&
so to keep some pics in the post I will share my choices for the new SAL (by the way it is full)
I just can't decide..........."Sparkle all the Way" by Robert Kaufman 
or "Be Merry by My Minds Eye" from Riley Blake.........
both are lovely.......
Hope your having a WONDERFUL weekend.......
.....HOT day here again..............actually pretty hot weekend forecast bring on autumn I say..........
840 posts later.............

Your an inspiration in bloggy land. I can see why you have a tough decision on the SAL fabrics - both are bright and beautiful - good luck with that decision!

Boy, those are both nice sets of fabrics. Either way they are wonderful.

brickies said...

Hey Chooky, I have been a follower or should I say lurker, sometime commenter of your blog forever. I have you on my google reader list. I love your photography and farm life. As a former farm girl its nice to be reminded of past memories. Keep up the great blogging. You do have a very "refeshing" blog to read. Oh yeah I think the Be Merry Fabric is the one to use on the SAL project. See ya

Sarah said...

Yay Chooky : o )

Pip said...

Happy blogiversary Chooky. Your fabrics have forced me into thinking about my choices for the SAL (perhaps a spot of online shopping is in the offing)

Narelle said...

Mmmmm ... what a lovely decision to make!
What colour thread will you be using for your stitchery?
Happy Blogbirthday to you. :o)

Starting my blog was a great decision ...have "met" so many fantastic bloggers - such a great network or friends! What...do we have to make a decision on what fabris to use for the SAL...I have the book out on the desk but that's about it.....will have to get organised! weather is pleasant here - rain all day yesterday but good soaking rain not a downpour like during the week....have a great weekend!

Josie said...

Happy 4th Blogday!! As a newbie it's hard to imagine how to blog for so long and still keep it fresh. Well done and more power to your elbow. Looking forward to your next 4 years.
Oh... and I'd go with Riley Blake that fabric is just gorgeous!

Miss Hillbilly said...

Happy Blogversary!!

I have a question for you. Since I still won't be getting my book for a couple of weeks....what are the fabric requirements? Well, only answer if it is an easy answer like "10 fat quarters". If it is broken down into little requirements then I guess I'll just have to wait. sigh.

Bev C said...

Congratulations Donna,

Good luck with choosing the fabrics,maybe two quilts could be done. I agree with you - looking forward to Autumn,hot and humid here today.
Enjoy your blogging time.
Happy days.
Bev.xoxo

How time flies and to think this all started for me back at your house one LONG weekend....
Non-bloggers just DON'T "get" us do they.
Look for to many more blogging years.

Kris said...

Happy anniversary! Loz and I were just discussing on Friday how very different from the average and how completely wonderful our blog friends are. I hope you blog for a long time to come!

QUILTING IS BLISSFUL, DI said...

Happy blog birthday to you--I was 2 years old a day before you turned 4!!!
I love both fabric groups for the SAL--so why not do one in redwork and one in greenwork and then you can use both lines --and you can have one for yourself and one for a gift!!!!
Hugs, Di
