Two years
My blog is two years old today.
So I made this to celebrate and to say thank you for all the your support and encouragement:
it’s a vintage embroidered tray cloth with an applique pig on it, in case you’re wondering.
with wording inspired by this fantastic Roald Dahl poem.
I know it’s unusual. But, I like it and hope someone else does too!
If that someone happens to be you please leave me a comment and we’ll see who gets to keep it.
And thanks again. Really.

I don’t know the ending but will have to go find it out now! Knowing Roald Dahl I fear for the pig….

Happy anniversary. This is darling. The pig is so cute. I love the chicken tea cozy too! You are so inspiring.

Just realised I left comment on blog below-no hope for me really!
As I said before, about two minutes ago actually.
I blame you Janet for the reason I started my own blog and the chance to ‘talk’ to all these lovely blogging friends so, THANK YOU!
love

I’ve enjoyed reading your blog and love your embroidery designs and applique. I still mean to make up the scotty dog (?) that was in the UK sewing magazine earlier this year. I think it will look great with some wool plaid that I have. — Michele

Happy Blogiversary Janet, two years that’s really something to celebrate. Alot of posts, typing, creating and sharing with everyone.
Thankyou, you were the inspiration that got me started on my own little crafty journey and I am having so much fun. Which ‘little piggy’ is on the doiley? The one that stayed home and had elevenses using this quirky & cute tray cloth!

Oh blog-twin, you have made me realize I have forgotten my blog’s anniversary. Thank goodness someone is on the ball. You clever pig you! Happy third year of blogging!

What a marvelous idea !
Happy blog anniversery, I follow it for about 1
year and enjoy it very much !
So many things sound so familiar with kids and
animals but you are far more creative !
Have to look up the poem though…

Congratulations on your blog. You do it with grace and lots of talent.
The tray embroidery looks to pretty to really use. Tea would stain it, and so would I.

I think I have a lot in common with Pig, always wondering what life’s about. But unlike clever pig I haven’t got the answer yet – except to enjoy creativity! Here’s to your next year of creative quilting and blogging!
Thanks for sharing, best wishes Stephie

Hi Janet, got the handouts here Ok, thanks so much. This really made me smile after a dreadful 10 days, so it would be superb to have it for always ( hey, I’m a poet and I didn’t know it, as my brother would say!)
