As I started my second year of blogging, it became clear that my original blog name (SolarCross) did not reflect the true state of my craftiness. While I still love cross stitch, it is no longer my primary craft. In March, I changed the name of my blog to something that was more me. Yup, Needle Loca, that's me! (Some days, the Loca part is much more evident!)
The last year has also seen an improvement in the quality of my photos and a move to Flickr as my photo repository. While the Blogger photo capability worked OK, Flickr makes it easy to track which photos are online. As a side benefit, a couple of my photos were selected for use in other web sites:
- Clifton's Flower and Garden Center: "Apricots" picture on the Fruit Trees page
- Schmap Baltimore 4th Edition: Cylburn Arboretum
Anyway, I'd like to say thanks to all of you who read the blog! Let's see what year #3 brings!

my guess is 8...love the yarn...but also think the roving is cool!!
I love it that your apricot picture is being used!! It's really very beautiful! Hope there was a commission!
How many? I'd say eleven cookie sheets. I know, an odd number. Congrats on the two years - love reading your blog :) Terry
My guess is six - I can't really see why you'd need more than that for cookies unless you have several ovens. I only have four (and a big oven) and they cool quickly enough between batches to be used again.
You did far better with your Christmas baking than I did this year. You made much more than I did, and I wasn't done until after Christmas.
I'm a knitter.
9 sheets and im a knitter
i've scaled down on my cookie making LOL
Thanks to all of you for entering! The answer is 15 and a picture has been posted in today's (1/15) blog entry.
