Today I'm looking backward, as well as forward. It's the 3rd Anniversary for WOYWW, the brainchild of Julia at Stamping Ground. Looking back, you can see what I made to honor the 1st anniversary: my sewing machine dust cover and WOYWWendy. In return, I received the lovely card holder that is now holding the envelope that is looking forward to going to the next person on this week's list.Do you see today's rocking horse? This one's a bit more hidden than most. I know many of you visit just to see them.
For the second anniversary, I sent this quiltlet as part of a Pay It Forward game we played. Obviously, I can't show it in person because it is now in a new home across the pond.
The rocking horse I alluded to is hidden because it sits under my sewing machine to absorb the machine's vibrations. In a former life, it was a one-only foam and plastic Christmas place mat. I'm off to see who I'm sending my ATC to. Have a great WOYWW everyone._________________
Yes, I spotted him! Love the rocking horses. Just been looking at Donna's Atc's lovely painted colours on her face. I probably won't join in with this one, Good idea tou show past anniversay thingies. I br oke mine last week... it didn't fly well, and fell to bits...nothing a bit of glue won't mend! Happy Anniversary woyww

Lovely to have a retrospective of your previous year's anniversary items. Can't believe it's 3 years already! :)

Took me awhile to spot the horse but I love him! Still no Bleubeard though.:-(
ReplyDeleteCongratulations - if I am reading the instructions right (I DO believe I read better than I count, lol) - I believe that you are the recipient of my WOYWW ATC! Be sure to drop me an e-mail with your mailing details so that I can make the arrangements to mail it to you! :-)
Have a wonderful week!

Hi Elizabeth! I'm sorry I confused you! I made a mess of the linking, and even made a mess of Peggy's too (she's in the US). Blame it on my haste and surprise when I saw the linky up and running! I'm surprised you didn't add the WOYWW badge to your collection! :^) patsy
ReplyDeleteWell hidden rocking horse :)

Well you certainly have made some super WOYWW makes! Take care & enjoy this special WOYWW. Zo xx 43
ReplyDeleteCan't see the rocking horse, maybe he has galloped off to the other side of the field, or maybe I need better glasses. Thanks for sharing all your previous celebratory makes, I'm a relative newcomer in comparison.
ReplyDeleteI have ATCs going free and would love to send you one, especially as you are so good doing the AB course for us (and I promise I will catch up). If you would like one please send me your address.

Trying to make all the rounds this week. Thanks for sharing your little corner of the world.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to see your past anniversary shares and I do believe I see your WOYWW button in the pic also. #133
ReplyDeleteI am in LOVE with your sewing machine cover, ad I don't even sew! But I am obsessed with dragonflies! Maybe one day my collection of dragonflies will come close to how many rocking horses YOU have? I can only hope :D
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Stephanie
P.S. Thanks for your comments on my painting- while I do like the color of the Clematis, you nailed what was wrong about the shape!!! I already have plans for fixing it today- thanks again!
I also had a little look back at all the woyww related things I had, but forgot to photograph, it's been a fun 3 years.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's me receiving your envelope :) I shall be in touch with my details very soon x

Great post, Elizabeth, I enjoyed the retrospective look at how you celebrated previous anniversaries. Didn't spot the rocking horse at all, it's very well hidden under the sewing machine :) Happy WOYWW and enjoy what's left of the day. Elizabeth x #96
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see what you've made for past anniversaries! I like that quilted piece. As for my sewing machine, it doesn't need a dust cover because it's NEVER out. Ugh. I like the dragonflies on yours.
Happy WOYWW
Hugs,

Such fun to look back! I recieved the most wonderful handmade book last year and used it to record my trip to CHA in July. I will always treasure it!
ReplyDeleteHappy very special WOYWW
I'm glad you pointed out where the rocking horse was. I was going bonkers trying to find it. And WOYWW Wendy! I haven't seen her in a long time. I kept thinking I must not be visiting the person who has her, but I have visited you. I must not have spotted Wendy. I noticed your machine cover last week and thought it was neat. I didn't realize all these goodies were from WOYWW anniversaries past. How totally cool!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW! Thanks for sharing your creations with us! AND thank you for posting all the awesome tutorials!

I always look forward to seeing a new rocker every week :) Even when I couldn't comment I always had a peek. It's been lovely to "meet" you too, via our wild desk hopping Wednesdays. Long may it continue.

great looking post Elizabeth! I found the rocking horse! I think I bought one of the kids one similar to it years ago! Happy WOYWW! Thanks for sharing. Have a great week. Vickie #178
ReplyDeleteLovely to go back and see each anniversary. I spotted the rocking horse but spent ages searching for him. Thanks for your lovely comment, I'm really happy to have 'met' you over the airways too. I really enjoy speaking to everyone each week.
ReplyDeleteHappy 3rd anniversary and have a great week.

Hi there Elizabeth, Thanks so much for popping over and do like your looking forward looking back. Such views shows you have been around from beginning and blogging longer than I have - only started blog on 01.11.10 and joined WOYWW pretty soon after that as had seen it before on few folk I was following...
ReplyDeleteFunny aren't we how start things.. without quite meaning to -that is how I fell into blogging and hence WOYWW! and look at what it has given in return, so much richness!! happy 3rd birthday of WOYWW! thanks for sharing, Shaz in Oz. x #30
How lovely to see a little of your journey over time. I too spent ages looking for the rocking horse and then just as i was about to give up I spotted the bottom of the mat. i only knew that was it as I have the same one hidden away somewhere lol
ReplyDeleteEmily #111
Well Elizabeth, you certainly had me fooled looking for the Rocking horse this week. I could see the green bit under the machine but thought it was a pea pod! Do I see Bleubeard at the right hand side of the machine?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing what you did for the first anniversary and
have a good 3rd Blogaversary. Hugs, Neet #15
Happy Anniversary Elizabeth and Boss! You have been in this WOYWW longer than me, but I still enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteYou asked about my blog heading. Thanks for the compliment. It has been there a while but the general background has changed because Blogger no longer likes Shabby Blogs which is what I had until I tried to change it to freshen it up! Need to sit down and try and find something a little more "me"
Hugs

Hi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. Yes, it's great to be in contact via WOYWW with so many other like-minded people. I do enjoy WOYWW! Happy 3rd Birthday!
What a lovely blog post - it was so nice seeing what you made for past anniversaries and I love the little quilted piece - beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my desk and hope you have a great week and another great year of WOYWW!
Great post Elizabeth. Belated Happy WOYWW wishes going your way.

Hi Bleubeard thanks for popping by happy 3rd anniversary and thanks for sharing your lovely workspace. Love your quilted piece. Have a great weekend, hugs Erika. #101
ReplyDeleteH Elizabeth Thanks for popping in to see me. Thank you for the lovely comment on my ATCs. I didn't find the rocking horse until you pointed him out! Fab post about the previous WOYWW anniversaries. Love the quiltlet but am intrigued ....who is that man?! Belated Happy WOYWW Birthday to you Helen (no idea what my number is anymore!!)
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW 3rd Anniversary Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea to look back at your previous anniversary mementos. I was looking back at the post I did last year and had forgotten that I had made up a poem in celebration but the PIF that I received isn’t forgotten because it hangs over my computer desk.
Hope you have a good week and…….
Happy Crafting!

How on earth do you get on here so early? I wait and wait until someone posts and being in australia it is waiting sometimes until the afternoon, frustrating too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing your lovely sewing machine cover it looks great.
Happy 3rd Anniversary WOYWW

I'm never such an early bird on WOYWW these days. I liked it when Julia started it just after midnight, whcih gave me a real chance to get a low number! It's still the middle of the night for me when it all gets going these days!
ReplyDeleteThanks for an interesting post about WOYWW and its history. I also enjoyed your pictures of the hail storm - very dramatic!! Thanks for your comment on my blog, and I'm glad you like my latest Zentangle art.
I'm all behind with WOYWW this week - worse than ever. I doubt I'll even make 10 visits this week - after all our busyness lately, I've crashed a bit and trying not to put any pressure on myself.
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi
Happy belated WOYWW 3rd anniversary Elizabeth. Thanks so much for the visit to my desk. You've obviously been playing along for a while now...look at all your goodies! Hope you have a wonderful week. xx
ReplyDeleteA belated WOYWW. Thank you for visiting me. Isn't wonderful to have met so many people through this insanity? And to have found people as messy and crazy as we are?
ReplyDeleteHere's to the next year of fun and crafting.
cheers,

Hello !
ReplyDeleteIt is the nagging girl from Slovenia asking for your address! :-) My email is already somewhere in these comments so please, please send me your address as soon as possible because it will take a long time to get to you!!!
Love and hugs,
Cardarian
I was going to say, your rocking horse is hiding under your sewing machine (or if you're a little tipsy, in this house it's a showing massine... LOL)
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm a bit late getting round - the Queen's Jubilee got in the way a bit!
Happy WOYWW, and thanks for stopping by.
