In a brief second of either distraction or insanity, I appear to have signed up to post every day in October, along with a bunch of other bloggy types (check out the big list over at Tinniegirl). Hmmmm. (I’ll also be opening a book on just how many days I’ll last 
)
Long-time (long-suffering) readers may remember I did something similar back in the days (good grief, have I really been blogging so long? How can one person say so little for so long?). I did struggle some days, I’ll admit. Perhaps the inspirational Ideas Hub over at badskirt could come in handy this month!

Having a minor issue with the previous blog post not showing up in feed readers. Let’s see if this one shows up…
Oh, and I finally fixed my pesky little smilies 
Edit: Hmmmm, nope, not yet. What the heck is going on, I wonder?
Edit again: Nevermind, they eventually both came through. Wonders of technology!

Geez, I hope I got the time right. My version of Wordpress is a wee bit confused about Daylight Savings time, and I’ve never quite got around to fixing it.

So I picked up all these new readers recently (hi!), and the blog has been dead ever since. Sorry ’bout that. And now, when I finally get around to paying it a visit, it turns out all my images have gone AWOL. Crap. I’m really not sure what’s up with that – it seems like some issue with my Zenphoto/Wordpress plugin, but I’m too tired and stressed to figure out what right now. So we’ll carry on picture-less, for now, k? Appropriate, really, since I don’t actually have anything to show you today.
The last two weeks, and most especially, the last three days, have been shit. (I’m not going to apologise for the language, because you know what, I’m done apologising for now). I shouldn’t and won’t bring dirty family laundry to the blog, but sometimes, I’m acutely aware that the distance between my siblings and I is not purely geographical.
I’m tired. Weary. Over the drama.
But most of all. I’m wishing that I hadn’t spent the last 24 hours Googling ’slapped cheek disease’ and ‘pregnancy’.
(And yes… you may now feel free to draw conclusions – the whole world seems to be finding out by accident anyway)
I think I might need a hug.

… the blog turns three today!!!
By some odd chance of fate (the strangest coincidences keep happening to me lately – something in the air?), this lovely lady asked me yesterday how long I had been blogging. It occurred to me later that my ‘bloggiversary’ (cripes I hate that word!) must be sometime around now, and lo and behold, May 28 is it. Yep, I’ve been rabbiting on for lo these 36 months now. So Happy Birthday blog!
Now like all good crafty bloggers, I’m giving the birthday gifty to you Readers-slash-commenters bring the life to a blog, and I am so grateful to those of you who have hung around, especially over the last angst-ridden, sparsely-updated twelve months or so. Niamh and I have assembled this pretty little palette of Sugarlemon hand-dyed embroidery floss. All you need to do is delurk, tell me I’m Ace (or not!), and one random person scoops the lot.
Also, we made Birthday Scroggin. I can’t guarantee there’ll be any of that left when the time comes to send off the floss though
(Actually, the Scroggin has nothing to do with the bloggiversary, but it is very festive, don’t you think? Inspired by an old Kiddley post. Yum).
(Oh yes, and smilies still not fixed. Gosh I’m lazy!)

Welcome to Sugarlemon. Glad you could make it There might be a smidgen of construction debris over the next little while as I tinker, but all in all, I think I’ve settled in quite well. There’s a wee little ‘About Me’ bit up there, and the Progress Bars are there too. Sugarlemon also has a gallery installation, feel free to look around if you like.
All of the archives from Million Stitches are here, and I’ve been through and repaired all broken image links (I think!) A few posts have been password protected, and except for the last few months worth of posts, comments and trackbacks are closed. You can always email me though
I wish I had more to share, but it’s the end of a rough old week. Off to get some family time in. See you soon.
