Hello!

Are you a regular reader of The Crafty Mummy? Great to see you again!

Or have you just dropped by to read a tutorial or tip and found yourself browsing around? Welcome!

As a blogger I know that people are coming by every day to read things here. Google Analytics tells me what things are super popular (right now, Christmas crafting) and how many visitors pop over from Pinterest (love that place!), but I know that you must all be busy because there aren’t all that many comments left.

Now that’s fine, but today I’m feeling curious… who are all the people who come by? Do they come back? Or subscribe to read more somewhere else so they don’t have to return?

So I’m going to ask for a big favour:

I would love you to leave a comment today! Pretty please?

A couple of questions if you need a prompt:

  • I’m in Queensland, Australia. Where are you?
  • Do you follow along on some other platform – Facebook? Twitter? Pinterest? Google+? Bloglovin?
  • Do you subscribe to my Weekly News email?
  • Any suggestions for content you’d love to read? More of something? Something you’d like to know about?

Just scroll down a little to find the comment box…

Go on… You know you want to! ;o)

I love to chat so please leave me a comment or ask a question.

Don't stress if your comment doesn't appear immediately - sometimes I have to moderate comments thanks to spam visitors, but the comments from real readers will always get published. Scroll down to add your thoughts or ask a question.

  2. Hi! Are you lonely? I’m from Grand Forks, ND. I follow you on FB. I also do pinterest. I have no idea how I found you, but I liked what I saw. I don’t always leave comments, because I have just begun to realize how important they are to bloggers. Gotta go now, suppers ready. Have a wonderful day!

  4. I am in (currently very soggy) Sydney and follow you via Facebook. I am admittedly a bit of a blog-stalker vice a frequency commenter….a bad habit that I shall try to improve upon. 🙂

  5. Hiya!
    I’m in lovely Port Elliot in South Australia.
    I follow along on FB, Pinterest, Blogger, BlogLovin and I subscribe to your email.
    I love seeing your easy sewing tutes. I’m a very basic sewer who never finds time to expand her skills, but have many things pinned for when I do have time though.
    Would love to see more sewing things, no idea what though lol and I of course love to see your crocheting 🙂

  6. Hi! You know where I live 😉 I follow you on FB and Pinterest. I do subscribe to your email but I need to change my email details…off to do that now! Keep up the great work! xx

  9. Hi!
    I’m in Melbourne and I follow you here and on Facebook. I’m not a regular, regular reader (but I can’t say that I’m a regular for any blog these days – just don’t have the time) but I pop in from time to time and leave a comment sometimes.
    I like the fact that you do a variety of crafty things (like me!) and you always seem to use lovely bright, happy colours. I think you do a great job with your blog, so don’t have any particular suggestions 🙂

  10. One more thing I just thought of – a lot of people comment on my Facebook posts rather than my blog these days. Even if they take the time to go over to my blog and read, they’ll go back to Facebook and comment there – I guess it’s quicker and they can carry on the conversation with me if I’m online 🙂

  11. Hi, I’m Pat H., I live in Salina, KS which is right about in the middle of the continental US. I am a retired nurse who has been crafting since I was old enough to learn to sew on my Grandmother’s treadle sewing machine. I have your blog linked to my Bloglovin page. I have two grand children so I enjoy reading about ideas for them, for the house, and just crafting in general. Thanks for your blog and sharing ideas with us.

    • Thanks, Pat! I follow blogs on Bloglovin too – I love how I can go into it and read a bunch of blogs all in one place. Thanks for taking the time to come over and comment.

  12. It kinda feels like you’re talking to yourself when there aren’t any comments. Mind you, I am one of those readers who flip through, staying a minute or maybe 10, and don’t comment. 🙂
    I think a ‘like’ button on a blog post would be handy. It would be good to let the blogger know that someone enjoyed what they read. Sometimes I just don’t know what to say in the comments, so I leave it. Maybe I should leave smiley faces in my path, so people know I’ve dropped by and that they aren’t alone, talking to themselves.

  13. I am in Toowoomba. Working on my gorgeous pinks crochet throw rug for a special teacher for Christmas. That and my rainbow rug. I am unsure which will finish first. And if I get bored with these, I have a dachshund bookmark to cross stitch and another pale green rug to start, as well as crocheting little santa hats for my guinea pigs (just want to see if I can and post a photo cause it would be SO cute!!!

  14. I live in your hometown and I follow you on FB, twitter and Instagram and also receive your newsletters. I love your ideas and have stored ideas for a rainy day. I’m not one to leave comments but like Joan am happy to “like” things. 🙂

    • Thanks Michelle – one day I’m going to find chair bags and crochet all over your workplace and someone I know is going to be soooooo excited! ;o)

  15. Hi, sorry it’s been a while. I read every post in my inbox. I love love all that you have been doing! Keep trusting those numbers. We’re still here 🙂

  16. Hi. I’m in Sydney and I follow your posts on Feedly. I particularly enjoy reading your posts on quilting and sewing in general.

  17. Hi, I’m Sarah and I live in country WA. I follow your blog in Feedly so commenting is about three more clicks than I have the patience for – I guess I should make more of an effort. I wish there was a way to comment in the reader – is there? I don’t subscribe or have a blog but update my business page on FB regularly (@Hunting for Ladybugs). I enjoy the variety of your projects, nice clear photos and good instructions. I too am drawn to bright fabric choices with more pattern sort of prints than ‘pretty’ florals. Enjoy your week, Sarah

    • Thank you, Sarah. I know it is harder from a feed reader so I appreciate you taking the time for this special post. I checked out your FB page – love all your gorgeous bunting and Christmas stuff!

  19. Hi I’m from Wellington New Zealand. Get your newsletters and find them inspiring, love the tutorials, they are always well explained and I have made a few of your goodies for Christmas pressies, keep up the good work

  20. Hey Tonya, I follow via newsletter and fb. Also another silent reader, rare commenter -I often read via mobile device and its trickier to comment. Keep up the great work, you always do very inspiring stuff. As I fellow blogger I also appreciate the odd tech / blog related posts you do. xx

  21. I kind of chuckled when I read your request for comments – yes, I’m one of those who reads your blog fairly regularly, but never comments. I think your request and the little wrap-ups of embroidery floss with the color number noted on each one made me decide it was time. I figured I must be the only overly-organized (at some point, apparently!) individual who wrapped up the floss and marked the color! Thanks for helping me to realize that I’m not as alone as I thought!! It’s 14 degrees, the wind is blowing, and it’s a bit snowy here in Vermont – a far cry from your current weather, I’m sure! But yes, I do enjoy reading what’s going on with your shop and your little ones. Thanks for a bright break that I do enjoy!

    • Thank you, Martha! Your weather sounds lovely as I sit here on a hot windy Summer day! I used to do quite large cross stitch projects so I had to find a way to not buy the same threads over and over again – great minds, huh!?

  22. I’m a weekly subscriber in OR USA. Do not remember where I first saw you, but enjoy your upbeat attitude and ideas. Karen

  23. I love browsing and saving ideas on Pinterest . I live in Earlwood ,Sydney . NSW. I find FB Pinterest and newsletter motivating. It keeps me inspired and gocussed on present project. Love love your blog and look forward to it

  24. I live on the beautiful Atherton Tablelands behind Cairns.
    Always love your posts and good ideas.
    Keep up the good work and have a great week.

    • Hi Emmy – what a gorgeous area to live in! We visited a couple of years back and loved it. But I’m guessing it is pretty hot and steamy right now?

  25. Hi, I’m from Streamwood illinois, USA. I get your weekly email and enjoy it a lot. Thanks today for the crochet projects. Have a nice end of the year.

  26. I am just across the ditch in New Zealand…and I have subscribed to your updates. I love reading your news…and I’ll tell you what…those kids of yours will be all grown up and left home before you know it! We have four kids and they should still be at school in my mind…but now in their thirties and forties I have to say that they must surely be older than we are…

  27. Hi Tonya, I live in NW Pennsylvania in the US and I get your newsletters every month. I am a non-commenter because, like someone else said, I don’t always know what to say. I love all your crafts especially crochet, and I would love to see some more embroidery if you get the chance.

    I noticed that it’s Nov. 25th there-it’s only the 24th here..and very cold with about 5 inches of snow on the ground, and still snowing. Thank you for all you do and especially all the free patterns as I’m disabled and can’t really afford to purchase patterns, etc. I have the same crochet hooks I’ve had since I learned how almost 35 years ago! Keep up the good work, Tonya, and I’ll comment more often.

  28. Howdy from the Western slope of Colorado (USA). Where its snowy and cold !!LOL

    I follow you via subscription and am part of your following on Pinterest. I enjoy all that I have read from your blog so far and have actually done a few things !!
    I sew, crochet, quilt and craft so anything that pertains to those areas is fine by me.

    Just to say: thank you for all that you do for us in cyberland to learn more. Thanks !!!

  29. Hello from down the range from you and in the State’s Capital. I enjoy your commitment to projects of all crafts, but do enjoy trying crochet, especially the Rainbow Blanket. Still going!
    Helpful hint for using pegs on the quilt border was appreciated.
    I will share my version of the angel made out of a paper plate = As a girl, Mum showed us how to use a ping pong ball glued on top of the plate, draw her face and add some hair. Some tinsel around her neck covered the join.
    Cheers to you and hope you continue with a great site in the New Year. Thank you.

  31. I’m in rural Oregon, USA. I follow you via email. I like what you’re doing, and my advice (request) would be, Keep doing it!

  34. I’m from Sydney and I found you via another blog on Facebook . I follow along on Facebook and also read the weekly newsletter. I like new ideas for making gifts – especial things that don’t take forever to create. You have re sparked my interest in sewing, and my sonis interested to so he is starting to learn. Love the variety – keep blogging.
