I've opened a second blog. It's not for my art or sewing. It serves a different purpose. It's for Canadian needle arts / fibre arts bloggers to be able to network. I try and I try, but finding other sister-blogs is often like finding a needle in a haystack. No, really. I suppose that is the natural result of having only 1/10th the population of the United States. Going to the store to buy a Canadian magazine is like going on a treasure hunt. Here in Canada, you'll find shelves upon shelves upon shelves of American publications. If you want a Canadian magazine, (A Needle Pulling Thread, Quilters' Connections) you need to go to a specialty bookstore even in this, the largest city in our province. I don't really understand how this came to be. I want to give my readers this background so that you will understand that I am not trying to be exclusive. I just want find those 'needles in the haystack'. And so, The Needle and Thread Network was born.
Anyone can drop in or follow this blog of course, but I strongly encourage Canadian bloggers to link up on Wednesdays for a WIP (work in progress) blog sharing. I'm gathering a small group of moderators. So, sign up! Sign up! Please Follow / Join / spread the word. Once we hit a good number of followers, we'll do a "Friday Feature Artist Blog" post where you can show off your work, your blog, your store, etc. Sound good?
See you tomorrow, and see you on Wednesday over at TNTN!~
