A bloganniversary!

When I noticed the date this morning, I recalled that this was the day, 9 years ago that I started the newsfromjude blog. Perhaps I need a cake and 9 candles to celebrate this event?? It was an interesting learning curve, working out how to do it, and then to add photos. I went back this morning and reread the first few posts, which were much briefer than those I do these days. In that time I have made a lot of posts.

This was my first post....................................

Last day of July

Well, I have been debating about writing a blog for awhile now, and have done it.
I can't believe its the last day of July, another month has gone, over half of another year.
Now I'm not sure what to say, so maybe I'll be back another day soon.
Has been a very busy day, lots happening in the quilting room and lots happening at THe Sanctuary, trying to get things ready for a September opening.
The weather was lovely for the weekend, getting lots of plants in and edges done in the gardens at THe Sanctuary. Should look good in the spring. I shall take some photos for you.
Bye for now.
Jude

How is that for short, sharp and shiny? Thanks to those who have joined along the way, and keep coming back for more newsfromjude. It is always lovely to get comments from my readers, and so to "encourage" you I think this occasion is worthy of a giveaway.

Please leave me a comment and tell me how long you have been reading newsfromjude for? For previous competitions on this blog, I have acccepted comments by emails too, but this time I am keeping it to only published blog comments. You have until the end of August 8th to enter. 

I will put names in the hat and draw one for this little suitcase that contains 1,000 x 2" squares (500 lights and 500 mediums). That is the equivalent of 2 1/2 metres of fabric, all cut ready for you to make something with, or add to your stash? Entry is open to all readers, and I am happy to send overseas.

I look forward to hearing from y'all!

Before I finish off, I thought you might like to click on this link, that Bonnie Hunter posted on her blog a few days ago. It is the Quarantine Edition of "For the Longest Time", sung by The Phoenix Chamber choir. Listen to the words, and smile.

Have a good day. The sun is shining here, although it is still cold. A visitor arrived here this morning to spend some time and wave her magic wand over my chaos again. And tomorrow we are looking forward to zooming with Chookyblue and blog friends.

Blessings, From Jude
