15 DAY BLOGGER CHALLENGE - Getting to Know the Blogger - Days 12 & 13

12. What are a couple of your favorite blog tools that you use?

PicMonkey, hands down. I LOOOOOOOVE PicMonkey!!!! It is so much fun! You can add (oops had a typo there LOL) sooooo many cute and cool things to your pictures! I am thinking about using it if I make Christmas cards this year instead of buying them! LOL





13. Your top 5 posts and why you think they were successful.

My top posts are always my tutorials. I can submit them to so many different sites and get them out there. AllFreeSewing.com has a newsletter and a few of my tutorials have been featured in them. You also have FreeNeedle.com and SewSet.com.

I think my recent lack of tutorials is probably to blame for the deep fall in views. :( I haven't added a new tutorial since September! YILES!!! I am SOOOOO sorry!!!!

BUT I will be making up for that this week. ;)

I finished my sewing room/library yesterday! YAY!!!!



I am sooooo excited to have my own space!!!! :) I thought I might have to fight The Hubby for it but once I explained to him how I would need that space to possibly start my own business and therefore maybe make some money, he gave it up peaceably.... LOL



Here are the fabric choices for my new tutorial -







And here are the cut pieces -





Our old stained and beat up kitchen table is my new cutting table! :) YAY!!!!!!



So, stick around! I hope to be posting the new tutorial tomorrow!!!!! I guess I need to get sewing... ;)



OH!! Here are a couple of pics of Bonnie and Cloud. They are now nicely adjusted to their new home.















Are you still out there, Carol??? I thought you might be wondering where my cat pics were. ;)



OH! It feels SOOOOOOOO good to get back to sewing!!! I freaked out a little when my all purpose foot went missing but Walmart saved the day! LOL They had ONE kind of foot. ONE!!! Praise the Lord, it fit my machine! LOL

Oh, and if you would like to check out my tutorials, just click the box at the top of the page!! I apologize, though... WordPress used to just have the links under the Tutorial Header but now it's just a long line of the tutorial posts. :/ You now just have to scroll through them all. ARGH!!!!!!!

    I am in love with your sewing space! That floor is to die for. I haven't posted about it in awhile, but I love to sew. It's funny that you say that about your views, because I get the most when I put up my pattern reviews. I guess that means we better get back to our machines! It's been fun learning about you through this challenge. :) BTW, you unpacked that room beautifully!

    Wow, your sewing room looks so peaceful, I love it! I share my sewing space with my kids... Actually, I have a corner of the room, that's it.

    Stacy, thanks for visiting and giving a thumbs ups on my RemnantWorks blog I don't get a lot of traffic there, because I use it more like a website than a blog. Maybe I should follow your example and do some tutorials on the technique. :).
