Why do YOU craft? What do YOU think makes you stand out ('cause, um, you DO stand out)?<br /><br />I think an audience would really relate to your take on those topics ~ I think part of your attraction is that you're clever, talented BUT approachable. You don't feel (at least, not to me) like some diva who demands to be put on a pedestal ~ you come across like a BFF or sister. <br /><br />I think you're gonna be PERFECT. :)sew{very}creativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128269400412952539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-4335134580504003082009-08-18T13:24:41.262+10:002009-08-18T13:24:41.262+10:00i love the blogs about other blogs. i just love re...i love the blogs about other blogs. i just love reading about life in general, although tutorials always help me come back again and again!Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14203596033617838623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-52545873385977274542009-08-14T06:45:17.378+10:002009-08-14T06:45:17.378+10:00Wish I could be there!

I've not been to this show for a LONG time.. (um 4 or 5 years now) but thats what I remember... transport, hmmm I am sure they usually put something into their brochure about it(mine is at work sorry petal)..<br />if you are flying in, there are trains at the airport to get you to wherever.. <br /><br />email me privately and I maybe able to help you with a CITYLINK train timble website (or I reckon you could google it! if you are internet savvy *VERY Tongue in cheek)... <br /><br />what to talk about? um exposure, how to, why? etc...

I LOVE your softies and your sense of humor.<br /><br />I've only been blogging for a few months. I am learning to tat. The thing that has surprised me is the sense of community I feel among other people who share my interests. Tatters have a very active and supportive blogging community. I believe people who like to pursue creative hobbies seem to be able to appreciate and encourage other people's creativity. Blogging is a great way to connect and share with other people that you can't really experience in real life.<br /><br />I like your idea about sharing some blogs which inspire - I've got most of them on my blog roll. <br /><br />Don''t worry. You are such an experienced blogger, I think questions will be easy for you to answer.<br /><br />You might also point out blogging's economic advantages. My magazine purchases have PLUMMETED since I began blogging and reading other's blogs. I have a lengthy blogroll and when I need inspiration, it is the first place I turn. My blog feels like my cozy corner of the world.<br /><br />Good luck and have fun and DO let us know how it goes!<br />Annsewmuchfun4https://www.blogger.com/profile/09841972052152898574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1303875332081634127.post-27433491627851191232009-08-07T12:48:55.482+10:002009-08-07T12:48:55.482+10:00Things I want to know about blogging (haven't ...Things I want to know about blogging (haven't ever done it):<br /><br />etiquette (bloggers & commenters)<br />why do bloggers feel so much pressure (and then comment on it?)<br />why do people blog?

Maybe hit a little on how you stick so well to your topic on your blog yet still remain so approachable. I would be interested in how to get a lot of internet attention and keep a following of the people who are initially attracted to the site.<br /> On the hand-outs I would only need very brief highlights to remind me which speaker gave out this set of notes (if there are lots of speakers) but more importantly, any internet addresses you mention in the stories. It would also make me feel extra special and have your talk stand out if a simple freebee pattern was included for little softie critter or some other small thing.<br /> Your selvedge fabric is an inspiration.
