How to get interest in my blog

Good afternoon all, is there anyone there........ Hello to my friends that have signed up to receive updates by email.
How do I get people to follow my blog? I know it may not appeal to the greater masses , but how do I get fellow stitchers interested in reading what I am up to? If anyone has any suggestions please share. After all I created a blog in the hope of learning more from those Sewing and Crafting community.

Looking forward to receiving some feedback

Where has the time gone

So the Olympic has come to an end so I should find time to stitch rather than cheering GB on shouting at the tv. I have received my SEW magazine however no free book ! Disapointed
Can't beleive that sonny of the shops are starting Christmas selling . I have started to projects one is a mini scrap book of family photos for their tale people in my family to flick through. The other is to make a draw string bag. It's all a work in progress

Where did the weekend go?

Good afternoon readers, where did the weekend go? For me it kicked off with the opening ceremony of the Olympics. I must say the start of it was rather underwhelming, then it picked up. But I have to say that it was a very late finish. No sewing done this weekend but have continuted to read my new sewing book and am starting to worry that I shall never get the hang of understanding a printed pattern let alone cutting it and adjusting it to fit me. The more I read the more daunted I become.

Sew magazine

I have just subscribed to my first magazine ever, "Sew" - how exciting I can't wait for the first addition to arrive. Also as a bonus for UK residents you get a free book and two patterns. I already have the book but I am going to give it to my friendie Christine as I think she will love it!!!

More on the new book

I have started well with The Colette Sewing Handbook and my goodness so much to learn. There are a few things that I can't get my head around and I think that I am dumb for not understanding them, so I may have to bite the bullet and email the writter to ask for beginners clarrification. As for the second on zips oh my gosh !!!!!!

I shall keep you posted........

My fav shop



Tatters

Haberdashers
106 High Street, Town Centre, Staines, TW18 4DP



Let me introduce to to Tatters. It is small and intimate local habershery shop - full of wonderful fabrics, ribbons, threads along with other arts and craft supplies. The ladies are cheerful and patient with beginners questions (that is the ones that I ask) and very helpful, willing to offer advise and recommendations.
