If you look at my signature, you'll notice a link to my very new fledgling blog. I am only calling attention to it because I did an email interview with Johloh on Sprite Stitch, and an article on the site itself. And for the record, Johloh is a nice guy. If you pop over there, let me know what you think. Don't hold back - I welcome the negative as well as the positive.

I must say, that interview was a really good read! Your other articles are also well written.
Sorry, no negative feedback from me!

I agree, the interview was really good! I also enjoyed reading your other posts, they were well written and quite informative (so unlike my blog, lol). I'm looking forward to future posts from you, so keep em coming!
I have put a link to your blog on mine, I hope that's ok with you

Of course! I'm flattered. It's such a magpie blog with stuff all over the place (next week - Geishas!), I didn't think too many people would like it. I am so honored you'd do that. If you don't mind, I'd love to repay the favor. (Not that I have THAT many readers.

I am so grateful for the ones that I have.)

I had a cross stitching blog a long time ago, but I think I got rid of it 'cause I never used it. Now that I'm back into cross stitching and am active with other cross stitchers/crafters (i.e. you guys), maybe I should start one up to showcase my projects. Or I can just lurk around ya'lls blogs. Currently, I just have my cooking blog up and running.

@faewren: Ooh, geishas! Hehe.
I don't have many readers either, so I'm always over the moon if even one person looks at my blog, and l'd be honoured to have a link on your blog!
@Kareesh: I say do it! It's a nice, easy way to keep a record of your stitching/craft activities

Fiiiiine. Ya'll have talked me into it. I'm going to have a new blog solely for the purpose of my cross stitch. Dunno if I'll put my Nintendo sampler on it, as my brother reads my other blog, and I don't want him finding out about this one as it's a surprise for him. So, it may not get updated very much right now, but I have some "finished" projects I can put up there.
Nothin' much going on here...

So no one thinks I am a weird stalker.... I got to looking at all of your blogs and became a follower. Love reading about everyone's stitching process and updates!

I cant vouch for if I'm nice or not...but, I can give some feedback on the blog.
-I'd ditch the fish on the sidebar, wastes load time and uses valuable real estate.
-get a rss feed link up on the sidebar nice and big, I wanted to add it to my reader but couldnt. (I don't like friend connect, and I'm sure some other people dont too)
-personally I dont like backgrounds that remain stationary. maybe just me. its distracting. I'd go simpler.
on a positive note I do like your writing, I for one know how hard it is to continually write decent posts with real opinions. My blog has degenerated into a photo and a "this is a cool" sentence! so kudos for that.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm torn between an 'artsy' feel and a more 'contemporary' feel.
I have an RSS feed up. I meant to do that and I completely spaced it! Thanks for the reminder Johloh!
