Happy New Year and 100th post!!!

Well, that says it all really.

Somehow I have now typed 100 messages to the universe, known as the internet.

Some of these message threads have floated out into space and connected with some of you. Like gossamer into the world wide web.

We are anchored at each end. Alerting the other to our presence through a gentle tug at the line now and then, occasionally catching another cross-thread between us and each sensing it, following it to a new friend.

This is the way that we share our daily/weekly/whenever communications.

I can assure you I had no idea how addictive I would find Blogland to be. Especially now I use Bloglines as a reader. 100+ feeds, sigh, yet I care about each of the lives I peer into.

I thirst for the latest news, creation, baby, musings, and updates on loved ones.

And don't get me started on the photography I have seen.

My life feels richer for 'knowing' new people through this medium. Most of us have never met, nor ever will.

But there you are. And here I am.

Thanks. For listening. For commenting. For writing and sharing. But most of all...for being there.

Does anyone fancy a random de-stash draw? You'd be helpin me out. Honest. Most of you have NO IDEA of the chaos I am sitting in.

(Continue to) Save me from myself.

You know the drill. Leave a comment.

You've got a week (until midnight next Friday night).

See ya, keep in touch!

Mmmmm, you can count me in though I'm sure sure my little world of chaos could do with a de-stash too. I'm thinking our quilt group needs to do another round of charity quilts to get our stash's back in order. Who knows where your fabric may end up???

A de-stash sounds good. I've just started a totally hand sewn tumbling dice quilt. Because I'm an idiot.
It's amazing how many scrappy pieces of fabric I've used. I feel so frugal.
Congratulations on the 100! It's lovely to have met you (both virtual and in person.)

Please dont put me in your de-stash draw cause I don't yet know how to sew or anything (though it is one of my long term goals). But I wanted to say congratulation on 100 posts and to tell you how much I enjoy reading your blog.

happy 100th post Laura! blogland is a beautiful place indeed.

I'd love to go in your random de-stash draw but I have no idea where I'd put anything that wasn't going to be used immediately - so I think I'll have to pass too.... but I did want to pop in and mark the occasion.

may there be many more blog posts to come!
