Happy Blogiversary to me...and a contest!

...I started this blog January 5, 2006 as a way to track my craft progress and to share project photos with friends.

When I started, I was primarily a needle worker (cross stitch, needlepoint) and quilter; I was still relatively new to knitting.  Now, needlework and quilting have taken a backseat to spinning and weaving. I still cross stitch, quilt, and knit, but I get more satisfaction from creating yarn and fabric.

In addition to giving me a place to talk about my crafts, this blog has helped make me a better photographer, at least of inanimate items! I still have trouble photographing animals and people. However, my macro photography has improved tremendously.

Who knows what changes the next year of blogging will see!

Now for the contest, let's keep it simple:

Leave a comment on this post by Midnight PST 1/20/10. 

I'll do the random number thing and pick a winner on the 21st.  The winner will receive their choice of yarn (see below), spinning fiber (see below), OR a batch of Grand Marnier Biscotti (a batch is usually 24-30 biscotti).\

Yarn: Choose one the following Blue Moon Fiber Arts Rockin' Sock Club colors:

Garden Daze (2009):

or Gertrude Skein (2009):

or Goody Goody (2008)

OR if you are a spinner:
