The Big 2-0-0!
Wow, they sure have gone by quickly!
200 posts ago I hesitated starting a blog because I didn’t think I’d have enough to gab about.
I don’t have a good history with “journaling”. I write in them for a week and then completely neglect them. What would I ever have to write about on a blog?
Well, the answer to that is any wacky thing that I choose - and it sure has been fun!
At about this time last year I was getting ready for my first craft fair.
I’ve written about a really fun road trip that Josh and I took in June.
And I recently finished a weekly book review, which was a total blast : )
Thanks to all who have stopped by and read whatever wacky topic
I’ve been chatting about each week.
It’s been a joy to read your comments and hear your ideas : )
In true blog style I’m doing a give away to celebrate my 200th post.
I’ve gathered some fun goodies to share.
(Dylan from 90210? It can’t get any hotter than that people!)
I didn’t photograph any fabric but never fear,
I’m sure a bit of that will be tossed in as well ; )

The kittens are recuperating well.
In fact, last night I didn’t get to sleep until about 1:00 am
because Poe kept finding little stuffed mice around the house,
carrying them to the bedroom and making alot of noise playing with them.
Each time I (sadly) took the mouse away and put it well out of reach,
then she’d find another and start all over again.
This morning there was a pile of 4 or 5 mice on top of the dresser.
She must be feeling better : )
For the last few days I’ve been working here and there on various sewing projects.
Yesterday I worked on my little squirrel quilts - what do you think?
(Little squirrel.)
(Little acorn.)
I still have a bit more to do on them, but they should be finished soon.

Here are some of my new favorite Etsy finds:
This gorgeous bag made by Sarahjanedesigns.
“Mouses Tea Party”, an original watercolor piece by Margiemoore.
And this sweet little wooden house made by Weewood.

Be sure to leave me a comment for a chance to win my give-away!
I’ll be checking back on Saturday to randomly choose a winner : )
Have a wonderful day!
Jenn : )

Where on earth did you find 90210 gift tags? I am such a sad sack, a total 90210 junkie. I am in the midst of watching season 3 on DVD actually. LOL

Hooray for you and 200 posts! And I can’t wait to see your quilts - they are always so cute!

Happy 200th!! The squirrel quilts are darling, darling. As is Dylan. Meow. (That goes out to you, Poe.)
Love the St. Ann! Did you see my email about the Marie Antoinette action figure with “off with head” shooting motion? Nice.

I’m struggling to post in my blog at all, 6 months down the line and I think I’ve posted 3 times so…GO YOU! Keep going and before you know it we’ll all be reading your 300th post:)

So glad that your kitties are doing well, and congratulations on your 200th blog post.

Congrats on your 200th post!!! I’ve enjoyed your blog since you’ve joined in on our swaps last year. Your creations are always so clever and well made. Here’s to many many more posts in the days, months, even years ahead!

Congratulations on your 200th post Jenn!
The squirrel and acorn are both darling. Can’t wait to see the finished quilt.

Does it hurt my chances if I say I have never watched a single episode of 90210? (I live in a box, recently ungraded to one of those mega stainless refrigerator boxes)
Happy 200! Glad your kitty is feeling better. Lately we have had to shut Critter out of our bedroom at night. She’s a loud purr-bot.

YAY 200! I’ll have you know the 90210 theme song is now stuck permanently in my head, ::sigh::, that Dylan McKay.
Your cat sounds like my dogs when they try to sneak their rawhide twisty chewy things on the bed…ew!
And how much do I love little acorn and little squirrel?!?! So cute.

Did you perchance do your shopping at Archie McPhee’s? The squirrel is adorable.
March 20th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
Why yes… I did make a little trip to Archie McPhee’s.
You’re good ; )

Hey sis!!! The big two oh oh. Where o’ where did the time go. I think they make balloons for such momentous occasions such as this. Glad I can start on such a good number!

Love the squirrel! Funny little guy.
Congrats on 200! I’m sorry I missed so much in the last few weeks. Looks like you had a lot of fun…with dolls?
