Well, it was a year ago today that I made my first post, after converting my old website over to a blog. To celebrate, just some random things.
First, thanks to all of you who comment and all of you who lurk. A special shout out to someone who has commented and linked to my blog more than anyone else: Roseann. I am not sure I would have “met” half of you out there if it wasn’t for her.
Also, thank you to Mr. Penney, who puts up with all of this. Not that he wasn’t warned when we first met, but sometimes you really have to live with someone to get the full breadth of the insanity.
Strangely, the thing that brings most Googlers to this site? Living room curtains. Seriously. Followed not too far behind by buffalo plaid. With all of the knitting that happens on blog?
Which is another thing? I never would have guessed a year ago that there would be so much knitting on this blog. Baby sweaters, socks, sweaters. I have some theories on why that has happened, but I will get into that another time.
Oh, and does anyone check out the songs that I use for titles? Granted, I really stretch it sometimes, which is part of the reason why I am not so sure how long that means of titling will last.
And, I just got an award! Opal had me as an honorable mention before, but now I actually have it! It kind of came out of left field for me, as I didn’t even know Bonnie read my blog. Which is another great thing. People that I never would have thought I would come in contact with actually think what I have to say is sometimes of interest. How great is that!
Thank you all for a great year! There will be more to come.
Happy Blogiversary, Patrick! Thank you for the kind mention. I may have sent people here, but your stellar knitting, spinning & weaving kept them coming back. I do enjoy your musical references and am pleased with myself when I know the song you are refering to.
Gone are the days when I felt I had to justify each project to Mr. Penney, but he did have me wondering how I could explain each new project and convince him it was the right thing to do.
Happy Anniversary! Congrats on a well deserved honor – I thoroughly enjoy your posts and look forward to each new one.
Looking at Roseann’s comment, I’m going to have to go through the archives – I didn’t know you were a fellow weaver. (Well, I’m a beginner, wanna-be weaver…)
Yup, that Roseann, she’s a blogging butterfly. That’s how I learned about you. And it’s only a year? Happy anniversary.
(My Google search is lesbian sex toys. I don’t know WHY???)
Hi Patrick….this comment of mine is long over-due…..
Happy Anniversary….and thanks for linking to my blog…and…your interfacing patronage is much appreciated!
I wanna learn how to knit…it’s on my list for 2008…doubt I’ll ever rise to your level of accomplishment!

I knew you’d eventually get the award outright! I adore what you do here and everything you do here shows how much you love it. Keep it up! 🙂
Happy one year! Congrats on the award for your great blog.
And happy belated blogiversary to you, too!
