things I like

My 2010 bloggery began with the Landlanders blog, which is intended to reflect what's going on in the Land household (not just in my head/world). Then I added the Land Cats' blog, because they've always got something going on. While setting up landcats.blogspot.com, I googled blog templates and found the Shabby Blogs site. Thus I realized I needed a blog of my own, to pretty up however I wanted. Thus you are here.

While adding links and such to this blog I've clarified a few things about myself. The first point here is nothing new; I like colorful collages. I've always known this. I have a magpie's aesthetic sensibilities -- I like sparkly, shiny, colorful, crafty, clever doodads. I collect and keep. Quilts, linens, frames, scraps (of paper and fabric), books, books, and more books.... So of course I like everything at Shabby Blogs.

Anyone who knows me (or has read the Land Land blog) knows that we live in a too-small house and I have tons of stuff in storage. I don't have a sewing machine in my home. My fabric (save the small sewing kit and embroidery basket) are stored in Grandma's basement, 50+ miles from my house. Even my paints and glues are packed, although they are still located on-site! Once we get this house sold and moved into a home with room for me to be me, I will be in a better place figuratively as well as literally.

That said, in collecting links for this blog, I've located sites reflecting things I like. They're listed in the column on the right, and I expect to continue to add to it over time. Enjoy a glimpse into my head and heart via other people's pages!
