Hello (and squash)

squash

Hello!

It’s just a few days over a year since I stopped updating here and, predictably, I have been missing it. I feel like it’s time to start up again. Do you like our button squash? Some got a little too big and tough but the little ones are delicious steamed, with a big blob of butter and sprinkling of pepper. See you tomorrow!

    Ahh so lovely your back! I was addicted to your blog some 18mths ago & often checked your site over the last year -just to see if you were back – was so pleasantly suprised when i viewed another blog (meetmeatmikes) to see your name in lights! This is my first attempt at the whole blog thing – read lots…but now your back prompted me to respond. I look forward to your updates:)

    Hooray! Seeing you in my bloglines just made my day, too. So lovely that you’re back! :)

    About 3 or 4 years ago I read an article about you in The Age newspaper. It was the photo that caught my eye – you and your sewing machine. That was the first time I had ever heard of a blog. That article opened up a whole new world to me, so I’m very happy to see that you have returned to blogging. You’re the original craft blogger in my mind.

    Oh! What a nice surprise…I used to visit your site frequently but when you took a break I put your link in a folder marked “not visted as often”. I’ve checked in from time to time in hopes of seeing you on here again, and today – well, you made my day :) Welcome back to the internet world. Pretty soon I’ll have a site that I can share with you too!
