Shall we make plans?

Shall we make plans for a celebration?

I've noticed that my followers are now up to 85. 85?!? I can't believe so many people are even remotely interested in what I've been up to. Or, is it about the hunks? Wait! Don't answer that! Let me briefly revel in a passing cloud of self-importance. (It wasn't gas, I swear!)

So, anywho...

Welcome aboard to all my new followers! I'm glad to be able to share my silliness with you. I do my best to follow all of you. I may not comment all the time, but I make an effort to spread the love around when I can.

If we can entice another 15 people to agree to listen to my blatherings...er, follow my blog, then, guess what?!? I'll have a giveaway!

That's right, you heard it...a giveaway. Perhaps I could even be persuaded to dig around in my frightfully large stash of hand-dyed fabrics. Oh, you perked up at that, didn't you? Maybe I'll even toss in a gift certificate to somewhere...

If you'd care to help me get to that magical mark of 100 followers for a giveaway, then please mention me on your blogs.

I have another exciting event to celebrate! Sweet Kate from The Suddenly Kate Show is having a book blog tour, called "The Pasty Tour," to promote the launch of her new e-book, 12 Days Young/Young 80. She'll be visiting right here at My Stitchy Ramblings on March 27th. I'm very excited about this!! I'll shortly be reading the book myself, so I can sound like I know what I'm talking about.

The book sounds really fun! It's actually two short stories. One is a romantic comedy, and one is a scary story. From the short stories that I've read on her blog, so far, I've already seen warm, descriptive narratives, visceral chills, a wicked sense of humor, and wonderfully twisty endings.

If you're ready to check it out, you can get the book on Amazon here.

So, please make sure you join us on March 27th for The Pasty Tour. How fun is that?
