My turn?? Really???

Filed Under Crafty Stuffs,Friends of the Farm,General Life Stuffs,Home Stuffs on March 31, 2011

Ahhhhh!!! So today is my SITS day and I forgot to post my welcome post!!! I had it on my list of things to do yesterday, and it completely escaped me!! Story of my life. I feel like Im hosting a party and forgot to be a greeter, and am hiding in my room. My apologies!!

So let me do a little explaining.

I head about SITS a few years ago, when I started blogging more regularly, and wanted to be a part of it. An amazing opportunity lay before me, and what better way to get exposure to a group of 0ther bloggers. Today is my day to shine. My SITS day. My day to be featured…and I almost blew it!! A community of over 8,000 bloggers come together to form a community, and share posts, comments, chat in forums, go to conferences, and support each other. Thats why SITS stands for The Secret to Success is Support! Additionally, there is a featured blogger every weekday, and that’s what I am today!

If you are visiting The Little Goat for the first time today welcome. So glad to have you here.

Things you might not know about me right away (though there is alot more to me too),

but cruise through the blog and you will see….

1)I love costumes. I love reasons to wear them, and I have way too much closet space being taken up by them. Many of my costume themed posts can be found here.

2)My house is a zoo. Between 2 cats and a dog, the dander and cat litter are plentiful..but I couldn’t have it any other way.

3) My husband and I both have mustache tattoos on our fingers. He got his first, and I told him that when he proposed I’d get one too. We call it my commitment stache. Its fun to play with at parties.

4) Im an ex-sorority girl living in the Bay Area. Though sorority girl most definitely doesn’t define me… people are actually sometimes shocked I was in one. I’m a California girl born and raised, starting my life in LA, school in SD, and been in the bay for 8 years. A majority of my friends from home and college having families, some with up to 3 kids! I feel like the Bay area is home to a lot of people with peter pan syndrome, and they dont want to grow up. Living here was always more of a party and work kind of life rather than family focused. Things are changing. My friends up here are maturing and starting the wedding circuit. I got married last August, and cant wait to have a family….stay tuned, hopefully things will turn around and I’ll be able to actually post baby posts as opposed to stalking other peoples baby focused Etsy sites. Love making Wunzees for other people, but cant wait to make them for ME!

5)I like to think I’m crafty…though I’ve seen what other people can do. I was making Wunzees for a while, and if you need one, I still can. I am currently trying to make a new quilt, (the one below is a first attempt) and doing a bunch of small ones in the process. I wish i knew what i was doing!!

Anyway…I hope you enjoy my blog. Not traditional in the “I have focus” sense, but hopefully fun nonetheless. Thanks for visiting!!!

Hey there! Congrats on being featured. As a fellow animal lover, I absolutely adore your blog already.

That skittle costume deserves an award, for real.
Stopping by from SITS, and I love your funky, artsy blog!

I love that you’re an ex-sorority girl living in the Bay Area. I was never a sorority girl living in the Bay Area (went to Berkeley). I’m from LA and couldn’t wait to get back home:)

If I still had babies I would totally buy your wunzees! I’ll keep in mind for the next baby shower. Too cute!

Hey, I have a husband with a moustache tatoo on his finger too!

Happy SITS Day. Enjoy the comment love today.

I love “The Little Goat!” Great title. I want a sewing machine and I don’t know what the hell I would do with it either. But I want one.

You actually get your sewing machine out and use it rather then letting it sit and collect dust. That’s crafty in my book.

Congrats on your SITS Day. The matching tattoos are hilarious. My hubby and I have matching tattoos as well but they are gonna of boring compared to your mustaches.

Lauren, Congratulations on the SITS spotlight! I love your blog. I am a big costume and craft fan too! I write novels so I collect costumes of my characters. (Totally can relate to lack of closet space!) I also create / remix / design anything and everything I can get my hands on. I just set up my own Etsy shop!

You’re awesome and an inspiration! Keep shining, girl!

So sorry I missed your SITS day! However, HAPPY BELATED SITS DAY! I wanted to say that your blog is quite eclectic & I appreciate that very much. Coming from an aspiring writer (life long passion of mine) I think your style suites you & I believe that’s what blogging is. Not how you write or what you write, or even what you divulge to the world…its what makes you comfortable! So keep it up!

Loved all the pics on SITS, you two look so fun! Just had to check out your whole site!

so fun to ‘meet’ you through SITS! your wunzee creations are just adorable and it looks like you and your honey know how to enjoy life to the fullest!

i heart costumes too!

Cheers!
