Vital Statistics...

Do you check your blog stats, maybe your traffic sources and search results?

I know some of you do too, you've mentioned it in the past.

I like to look and see if I am going to top the previous month's total views, (a bit OCD, I know...) and also where 'strangers' have popped in from.

On Tuesday, when I posted the Fugly giveaway result, I noticed a crazy record number of hits; now I knew there weren't that many people waiting to hear if they'd won.

So donning my Sherlock hat...

Gratuitous picture for Annabella!

... I discovered that the Brit Bee Constellation reveal was in overdrive, all down to a pin.  Now, I don't know who Michael Wurm is, but he has a lot of Pinterest followers (almost 565,000, can you imagine?!), maybe you are one of them... is he famous?

I feel rather chuffed to be on his Quilts board and the 'likes' and 'repins' are a bit of a morale boost too.  Pinterest I heart you,  I needed a 'pick me up' and you delivered.

As far as searches go, there seems to be a constant stream heading to the sock owl tutorial from waaaaaaaaaay back, but pretty much every month someone googles 'guns in car trunk' and ends up here, and they're probably rather disappointed!  I know that is my fault, because of this post a year ago, but why are people googling it!?  And obviously I am over the moon about the hit coming from a 'brown fabric' search this week!

Anyway, nuff 'bout me, did you know Singer have been making sewing machines for over 160 years?  Have you seen this special edition beauty...

What fun! xxx
