On Ten Years of Blogging!

Having sneaked up on me as stealthily as a Boojum, today marks the 10 year anniversary of this blog!

This blog has come a long way since it came into being, starting out with creative writing posts, moving into the area of sewing and vintage (I was insistent when I began, I was not going to venture there-clearly when one primarily follow vintage blogs and loves old things, one eventually ventures there) book reviews, and bits of non-sewing crafting. 

While I have not always been the most consistent in posting, in the past usually due to various time constraints due to coursework and more recently health issues, and I've considered giving it up a couple of times (primarily due to the former), I'm happy and proud to have been at it this long. I have made some very dear friends along the way, have a lovely log of how I've grown in my sewing skills, and, while it's waned over time, enjoyed being part of the vintage blogging community.

With my blog's name stemming from the poem "The Walrus and the Carpenter" my blogging journey started with a few posts addressing several of the topics the Walrus says it's time to talk about, specifically shoes, ships, and sealing-wax. With a decade of posts, I think it's about time to get around to writing on cabbages and kings this month. As to why the sea is boiling hot and whether pigs have wings, I shall leave to your own personal speculation for the time being. 

Thanks for reading and here's a glass of "treacle and ink and anything else that is pleasant to drink" raised to more posts to come! ♥
