Happy Blogiversary to me! I can hardly believe it myself, but today marks the 8 year anniversary of my blog. I started blogging way back on August 1, 2001. My archives only go back to 2004 because I lost all the entries prior to 2004 when I moved from my original blogging service to Blogger. I ultimately moved on from Blogger to running WordPress installed on my server. Thankfully, I was able to port all of my Blogger entries over when I made that move, so I didn’t lose everything a second time.
I’m not sure how many posts I lost, but this entry will be #982 of what I still have. I guess I should have blogged a bit more this past month and then I might have made 1000 posts on my blogiversary. How cool would that have been?!!
I will be having a blogiversary giveaway, but I don’t have a photo of the package yet. Since I’ll be spending all day at the LNS for our monthly Saturday stitching group, I probably won’t get a chance to take one until Sunday. So, be watching my blog in the next few days for the details and entry information.
I have been doing some stitching this week. I’ve been working on Taj Mahal Mandala Garden from Chatelaine Designs. Because of the complexity & size of the design, it’s one of those pieces that I really have to be in a particular mood to work on it. It’s not one a piece that I can work on when I’m just wanting some relaxing stitching time. ;) Here is my latest progress photo:
Well, that’s it for now. As I said, be watching for the giveaway announcement later this weekend.
Until next time …

Happy Blogiversary! Eight years!!
Big congratulations Melissa – you are a stitching blogger pioneer! 8 years is a long time for sure. Your WIP looks great. Catching up on your recent posts, yes it sure was a big leap for mankind back in July 1969. Being older than you, I distinctly remember sitting in my living room with my parents and siblings watching that grainy screen when Neil Armstrong’s foot came down. One of my most special possessions is an apron my grandmother made me as a small child – she embroidered the Mercury 7 spacecraft on it because it was such a big event at the time she was sewing. (and I’m an Aerospace I.T. person too but in Phoenix!)
