It made my heart sing and I was jumping with joy!<BR/><BR/>I am not applying for the Threads mags because I have them already (I subscribed to Threads about an year ago) but I highly recommend these two issues!<BR/><BR/>Finally I must congratulate you on your nomination and also want to say that your blog is one of my must read blogs because *it's my kind of blog (you know what I mean)* and also because I believe we are much alike on many aspects of our sewing life! We both ADORE new clothes, we LOVE making them and customizing them to our taste and needs, we take great pleasure of spreading the word about sewing and seeing young people start to enjoy this wonderful and rewarding activity! A big hug to you, Carolyn!Tanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073735708031525696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-64496363681374964672008-04-03T12:37:00.000-04:002008-04-03T12:37:00.000-04:00Congratulations!
