A Couple Questions about Blogger ~

Is anyone else having problems leaving comments when there is word verification?  I am having to type three or four words before Blogger says I have typed it correctly.  I know I'm not the world's greatest typist, but I also know I'm not making that many errors!

Also, I want to add an icon to my sidebar that says "email me".  I know how to add the icon, but can't figure out how to link it to my email.  One time a kind blogger explained it to me, but I haven't a clue where to find that email.  Sometimes I am blogger stupid (!) so I need very explicit instructions :)

Still no prospective home for Annie . . . sigh.  How can you not love that face?


I have several bins full of woolly worms from my early hooking days.  They were all purchased on eBay before I had a cutter and before I knew the difference between good and bad wool.  These worms run the gamut of really good, okay and so-so at best.  They are an 8 cut, but we know that all 8 cuts are not created equal.  With that being said, I am giving these away.  I will draw 2 names on Sunday, sometime after 6pm, and send a box of worms to those two people.  {I see there are no green worms ~ I'll add some of those and more.}  It's simple to enter . . . just leave a comment on this post only or send me an email with give-away in the subject line. 


Once again it's winter in Ohio.  A couple of inches of snow today and more in tomorrow's forecast.  I did spend a few minutes hooking by the fire this evening.  I'm still working on my hearts.


Thanks for stopping by!
Pug hugs :)

    Lol, I did it but don't remember how. I know I googled for directions though.

    And onto the worms....Since I'm a new hooker I don't have a worm stash, lol, and would love to win your giveaway. I'm so excited to really get into hooking. Why does that alway sound wrong? :-)

    Hi Lauren,
    When you use the picture gadget and add your picture you want to use for your email button..... just type mailto: (and your email address) in the url space.

    Try it and if you still have problems let me know and I can try and explain it better!!

    Don't computers drive you crazy?!!

    I thought it was me or my computer. I am having odd problems. I click on leave a comment and the screen freezes and it is only on some blogs not all.
    poor annie she needs a forever home but she has a cozy place until then.

    I would love to win your worms! I am new to hooking and I buy kits with precut wool because I don't have a cutter, I can draw out my own patterns to hook but I don't have any wool so I would love to win and make a nice rug to show you once complete!

    Hi

    Yes Orange Sink said it in the easiest way. Me, I would probably get you more confused.

    Add a gaget....put in your picture..clear the http:// out of the box above and put in mailto:youremailaddress then save and the is all. Then check your picture on your blog. :)

    Took me a while to figure it out even when I was told how.

    Take care, Janet W

    Lauren, I would love to give your worms a home! Annie is just so sweet, I'm sure her forever home is out there just waiting for her. I'll keep my fingers crossed. I too have been having trouble commenting on blogs. A white page appears and nothing more. I hope this issue with blogger is resolved soon. Have a wonderful weekend, blessings Julie.

    Hi,Lauren,
    After seeing that you just joined my blog, I went to your profile and saw that you have a blog! I just love it, Rugs and Pugs is just about the cutest expression I have ever heard. You should copyright it! The pugs are adorable and your rug hooking is gorgeous! I'm looking forward to following your blog.

    Poor little Annie, I hope that someone with a big heart will adopt her soon.

    I haven't had any problems with posting comments on any blogs but I sure hope that you have everything figured out. It can be so frustrating.

    Hooking by the fire looks so cosy. I would like to skip winter and go straight to spring. I had enough of winter already. Never been much of a fan in my old age I'm afraid.

    Lauren, I would love to have my name in the draw for your wool worms. They looks so well behaved. I would give them a good home.

    Have a great weekend. hugs, JB
