Second Blog Birthday!

This blog was 2 years old on 1st March! When I started blogging I thought it would be a bit of a fad and over with within a couple of months. I never imagined that I would still be blogging 2 years later.

I started out about the same time as Lucy from Attic 24 who is known for her love of crochet. Inspired by her crochet jar jackets, I decided to make some for a giveaway.

They are designed to fit a Bonne Maman jam jar quite perfectly.

If you would like to be in with a chance of winning a totally useless but none-the-less pretty jam jar cover, then please let me know how you discovered this particular blog. Did you find me after I left you a comment on your blog? or by a random search? or by a comment I left on another persons blog? etc.

All are welcome to enter as I will send abroad too. If you left a comment on my previous post I will put you in the lucky hat twice! I will announce the winners in about a weeks time. Good luck and I hope you continue to read my blog over the coming years!

  1. I thought this would be an easy question, but come to think of it I don't know how I came across you!

    I'm pretty sure it'll have been a comment on someone-else's blog that led me a-wandering over to you.

    Happy 2nd birthday - what an achievement, I've only just reached my first. Here's to a third year!

  4. Happy Blog Birthday. I think I either found you by finding a comment you left on someone elses blog or you leaving a comment on my blog, but that doesn't matter how I found your blog I found a friend!

  5. I've just achieved 2 months which seems like quite a milestone. 2 years is definitely an achievement.

    I think I came over from another blog - sorry, I can't remember where.

    I have looked longingly at the pattern for the jam jar covers but, since I'm only just learning to knit and haven't even begun to tackle crochet, I think it will be a while before I can make one for myself!

  6. happy Bloggy-birthday Simone!
    Your jam jar jackets look beautiful, reminds me I must try find where I put the blue and white striped ones that I made last year to plant up narcissi into. It's that time of year again and they seem to have disappeared into the mess of the house somewhere!
    Reminds me also that there will soon be an Attic 2nd birthday, will have to see what the date is, i do remember it is very close to yours so should be soon eh.

    Hoping all is well and happy with you Simone, been a while since i popped in...off now to browse your archives and catch up with you a bit.
    Lots of love and hugs

  7. Happy twos! I think I find my way here after you found your way to me, but I'm not 100% sure, memory is a little dodgy!!
    Glad you're still blogging, Simone.

  8. Happy Blog Birthday Simone! I think that I came accross your blog because another blog was following you. I do not have a clue though which blog it was though... Sorry. Don't think the jar covers are useless... Any colours to my kitchen is welcome!

  11. Well done on 2 years of blogging. I found you at the top of the Dorset Cereals voting, well done again. I keep trying to learn to crochet myself but just don't get it so revert to knitting. Your covers are very lovel.

  14. Happy blog birthday, Simone. I think you found me first and left one of your usual kind comments. By the way, thank you for being so sweet to me. I really appreciate it.

  15. I really can't remember Simone as it seems I have been commenting on your blog from the very beginning. What I do know is I shall long continue to visit you and leave comments, and continue to enjoy the frequency of your comments on my blogs too.

    Anyway, what a great giveaway! I've always loved those crochet jam-jar covers, and would love to be in with a chance of winning one. Thanks as ever Simone. x

  18. Hello. Just found you from your comment on Attic 24 and thought if it's good enough for Lucy then I would probably like it as well! And I do, so will pop in again. I am just coming up to my first 100 posts and wondering whether I ought to do a giveaway (not sure I have that many readers - might be only putting about 3 names in a hat! LOL!)
