I did a bit of blog maintenance — light maintenance, that is, because the web department is all busy graduating today (harumph!). Now I have a sidebar with LINKS! Links to blogs that I read in my Google Reader! I was so thrilled when I found a wordpress plugin that could just import links from my reader, I gotta say. Some of the blogs I read are about food, some are about craft stuff and some are just people I know and love from the intertube!

I’ve been looking for a way to respond to comments that puts the response on my blog (as well as in your inbox), but no luck so far. If you know of such a plugin, please let me know!

In other blog-related news, the Sew, Mama, Sew! Blog is once again sponsoring a giveaway. Some of you might have done this in December. Basically, crafty blogs from all over the world are going to have giveaways on May 27. There will be a list of all the participating blogs on the SMS blog.

Well I’m going to be having a giveaway for this! YAY! Actually, I’m going to be giving away three different prizes that day! One will be cloth-pad related, one will be something handmade that is not cloth-pad related and one will be a yummy package of vintage craft supplies. You will have to come back to find out how to enter (you’ll need to leave a comment on a post, duh!). I just wanted to give you a heads up.

I finished a charm pack of yoyos and I calculated that I will only need 3560 more yoyos to finish my quilt top . Yes!! Other than that, I haven’t done much sewing this week because my in-laws are coming into town (they’ll be here in a few hours) and we’re having a graduation party for Aaron tomorrow.

I got an A- on my thesis project (the minus because I never bothered to write up an annotated bibliography) and an A on my poetry portfolio. I’m pretty happy with that! Oh and I got an A in my biology course which is a miracle! I think my poetry portfolio might be the beginnings of a chapbook too. This whole semester I had been thinking I wasn’t doing great work, but after looking at what I’ve produced, I’m pleased as punch.

Today I have a ton of stuff to get done and it’s going to be a crazy weekend! Until I blog again…
