UCREATE TURNS TWO...and a special THANK YOU!

I can't believe it!!

These past two years have really been a journey for me. I've learned so much about this ever-growing blogland {which can honestly be overwhelming at times!}, the social media explosion, and I can't even tell you how many amazing crafters and readers I've met!

Two years ago I never imagined that people would actually want to read my blog...heck, three years ago I didn't even know what a blog was!!
 
I want to share random ways to celebrate throughout the week and first off, I thought it would be fun to...
answer YOUR questions!
 
Is there something you'd like to know about me? Maybe you have a blogging question? a personal question? Ask me anything you'd like!
 
 
...and of course we have to have a giveaway!!
 
One of the many creative ladies I've met these past 2 years is Natalia. You probably already know her from PieceNQuilt!
I'm dead serious when I say Natalia has some of the most amazing quilt designs I've ever seen in my life. I'm more of a modern quilter, and I think her style is fabulous! Check out her blog!
 
Natalia is giving away this "Adoring" Moda fabric...
 

one Adoring Layer Cake...


...and one Adoring Jellyroll

 
 
How to enter: all you have to do his ask me a question on this post.
{random winners will be announced when I post the answers this week}
 
 
I especially want to tell ALL of my readers today how much I've appreciated every single one of your comments these past two years! Thank you for your uplifting emails, your tutorial submissions, your compliments, your suggestions, stopping by to say "hi", etc.! You make everything worth it!
 
I also want to thank all of my creative guests and those MANY bloggers who let me feature them and share them with my readers. Tutorials are not easy to create! Lots of time and effort go into each one and I'm honored that you share them with us.
 
THANK YOU!!

  2. I want to know... when you kinda have nothing to say, how do you find something to blog about?

    My first blog failed due to Groundhog Day Syndrome, nothing ever changed for a while so I nothing to update readers on.

  4. WOW CONGRATULATIONS that is awesome. I'm so happy I found your blog sometime back, I've gotten so much inspiration here. thanks

    my question: what are your top 3 posts
    ReplyDelete
  5. I would love to know WHEN you have time to keep up with your blog?! You do so well with it and I love looking through/drooling over all of your projects. With two kids, I barely have time to READ blogs, much less write them!!

  6. I am another fan of your blog - and read it religiously.

    My question is: What gets your creative juices flowing when you get stuck in a funk?

  7. Wow! Congrats on another great year.

    How to you keep the ideas flowing? Thanks - they are great.
    ReplyDelete
  8. Congrats - I also really enjoy your blog. You said we could ask anything, so here is my question - with the blog and craft explosion over the last couple of years, is there a craft trend that you think "really? why?" (like macrame everything from the 70's - started as a simple idea but really eventually got out of control - and now you rarely see it) I know everyone one has different tastes, and you have featured so many different crafts medias and projects, but I'm just curious if there is one trend/craft that you would maybe feature but never actually see yourself doing or using.

  20. Congratulations on hitting the two year mark. I have just recently found your blog and immediately put you in my reader. I have been an empty nester for the last couple of years and crafting has filled a void in my life.
    Do you make most of what you post?
    ReplyDelete
  21. Hi, Kari! Congrats on your anniversary in blogland! My question is: How many of these featured tutorials do you get around to making? Do you have small children? I have three children under 8 years old, and I love to craft. Problem is: I visit all these craft sites and make a mile-long list of things I want to make...and I never get to make but maybe 2 or 3 crafts a month. But I love your blog...it keeps my list growing with fresh ideas! ;) Thanks so much!
    ReplyDelete

  150. Love your blog. I check it a few times a day and am always sending links to my friends. When you first started blogging is this how you expected it? I don't have a blog but most of my friends just have one that documents family events or just recipes. I just think of all the blogs you most venture to. And How do you find these crafty people. I appreciate all the work you put in. I would not have be as crafty as I am without it.

    Hello, this is my first time here at your blog, and congratulations on being 2 years old. I think a question that I would have is "How do you have enough time to blog,sew,teach & have a family life?" From what I have seen so far on your blog I am very glad that I have found you. I'm going to put you on my RSS feed so I can keep UTD on all your new post. Good luck to you and I hope your blog has lots and lots more birthdays
    Take care

  192. I love your blog and am happy to wish it a two year birthday!

    My Question:
    If you see some inspiration for a craft, do you have to study it and see how it was made? Or do you just get it naturally? Or, Do you think things through completely before doing it? Or do you just wing it?

    Thanks!

  197. I'm pretty new to your blog (like a week and a half) and I LOVE IT!! I could spend hours looking at all the tutorials. Thank you for posting them all here.

    I noticed you have mostly guest posts. Which projects are yours?

    Oh, I've been posting for a year now and don't have a whole lot of readers. How did you keep posting when no one comments? (maybe you didn't have this problem) I ask questions and get no answers ALL the time. I'd love to know how to fix this.

    I really do love your blog. I have to limit my time on the internet now.
