Housekeeping.....Is your tatting blog in my list?

Since my five year blogaversary yesterday I realized my blog was in dire need of a good cleaning. I went through and deleted broken links and updated others. I cleaned up my blogroll and am left a bit saddened with a feeling of loss. Yesterday I had 222 blogs in my blogroll and today I have 123. I lost 99 links because they are blogs that haven't been posted to in over 6 months, or blogs that just "disappeared".

I'm not going to lie...keeping up a blog is hard work so I do not fault anyone for neglecting theirs...sometimes life gets in the way; I understand this. It just makes me a little sad.

I will try to look at it cup half full though...here we go...

123 active awesome tatting blogs WHOO WHOO YA'LL!

O.k. I feel much better now.

If you have an active tatting blog please look at my blogroll to the right and make sure your link is there. I want to make sure everyone is represented. It has become increasingly difficult for me to keep track of everyone, so I do not mean to overlook or exclude anyone...so help a sister out will ya?

Congrats again on five years and it's hard to believe how much little Miss P has grown.

You've got my main blog, but would you like to include my other one: http://tatting-origins.blogspot.com/ It's just history now, but will eventually have antique patterns translated. It may be too geeky for the average tatter but it's a good outlet for my obsession :)

Valerie said...

Yep, you got mine! :)

Jane McLellan said...

I've only been blogging for a few weeks, so I'm not surprised I'm not on your list, but I would like to be! My address is http://janemactats.blogspot.com/

I've been reading and enjoying your blog for a number of years, but have only recently got an internet connection that enables me to comment, blog etc

FIve years, congrats! That is a long time to keep up this much work and you do it so well.

Your blog list is also a wonderful resource of at least most, if not all, the tatting blogs out there. Thanks for keeping us all in one place.

Here's to another great five years!

Congratulations on your blog-aversary!

I could not find my blog in your list but maybe I overlooked it. I have not posted last week, and as I am on wordpress there are no pretty preview pictures in the feed, so I *may* have missed it. I don't have a blog roll there...

Happy tatting and shuttle making! I am drooling at the last batch of shuttles!
