Valentine crafting and HIJACKED blogs

Here's a quick post on what little crafting I was able to do in spite of my class work. I made these for Sarah Beth for a Valentine exchange. The tiny pillow was a pattern from The Stitcherhood. I also made her an Altoid travel tin using a cute cat pattern from Lynn B. at 'happiness is cross stitching' . I included a heart box I painted and a mini cupcake pin cushion. I included bought items as well but not pictured.

As part of some surprises, I made additional pillows in different colors and made more heart boxes and pin cushions. It was fun to craft instead of study for a little bit.

Studies are keeping me busy but I am really enjoying learning about emergency medical skills. It takes me away from crafting but it also has another downside. We had snow and I took our daughter sledding. Every time she fell off and lay on the ground a moment, I had quick rush of worry that she could be hurt. The more you know, the more you worry. HA!

On a COMPLETELY different note...I opened up blogger's dashboard a couple of days ago and saw porn links in my newsfeed.

The problem was that I could see the URL and link and could see the blogs I was following but it was NOT LISTED in my list of blogs I read.

I began going through each blog I read, one by one. After deleting a few 'dead but not burried' blogs, it went away. It was either an old deleted blog that was invisibly attached to an inactive but valid blog or something else. Hmm.

FYI... Let people know if you change blog addresses so we can delete the old one from our feeds and avoid this fiasco ;-)  AND...if you see someone closed a blog, take it off your feed because terrible things happen to the blog address soon after it's been retired. Ick!
