Back to the "blogosphere"

[Melalvai]

It's interesting to me how diverse our blogs are. Cycling is so many topics really. Tours, mountain biking, training, you name it. Mine is bike advocacy

Have enjoyed reading through several blogs. Here's mine:


Quilted-With-Love

Blogger just changed everything funky so I might be changing. They are almost as bad as Facebook at messing with perfectly good formats.

I just added my cycling in with my quilting when I started cycling.

Updated the blog yesterday, there is an interesting picture of a bike trailer in my summary of B2WD yesterday

Most interesting and relevant bike blog I keep isn't really a blog, it's a pintrest account. Pintrest is a site where you "pin" images from other sites; the source is always included too if you want to know more. Basically it's a bunch of cool/funny bike pictures I put together with little commentaries:

The blog I update the most is my livejournal, but it's more a tool I use to keep track of things going on in my life, art, bike milestones, pets, events. Things I don't want forget. But you need to have to have a livejournal account to view it, I keep it as friends only. In case any of you are interested:

I post most of my drawings on tumblr. It's something I just started, so there isn't much on it yet, and none of my old stuff:

I also have a needlework blog that hasn't been updated in ages. I like to make my own patterns for cross stitch & free hand, but I've been taking a break lately.

That was the last thing I did (I have a snake icon on my embroidery board too, of course)
Catrin, where is your needlework blog?

Catrin, where is your needlework blog?

It isn't just a needlework blog, it is a combination of needlework, Greek Orthodox ponderings (my church), and also is the home of my very first bike musings. The blog really hasn't been active since late 2009. Back in 2008-2009 much of my embroidery was liturgical in nature, but not all. I had forgotten that I had originally considered a Trek Pure before conversations on this forum led me to discard that idea quickly.

The Stitching Garden is found here. There is a recent post showing a completed needle-painting (long-short stitch) project I made for a friend of a wild rose.

Anataresia, you have patience to do a pinterest bike board. I see some wierd wonderful stuff and photograph --either it just gets piled up in personal digital photo collection or it gets put into a blog somewhere.

Cycling really has allowed me to see some stuff, that's easy to miss otherwise.

One thing I don't understand is yarn-bombing a bike: I guess it's a form of people's art on a bike..that gets dirtied up quickly? Or a way to display a bike in an arresting way.

Catrin, your needle work is lovely! I've never been able to get the hang of needle painting, I feel like the stitches don't line up properly, or cover properly, and then sometimes the fabric warps a little. Anyway, I just updated my Flickr:

I just checked my "freebie" folder on my HD, it has over 1,600 files and is over 530MB big. Nothing but freebie patterns I've found on the internet and saved, mostly cross stitch.


shootingstar, pinning is easier for me than any other method of saving images (mostly because I do some of it from my computer at work). There is a button you add to your browser that allows you to pin anything with one click, it's fast and it saves the source. Saving the source is the biggest reason I prefer pinning to just copying images to my HD. Plus I can share everything this way!
