I've got my blog set up so that when people are kind enough to comment, a copy of their comment is sent to me via my email provider. That allows me to interact - answer questions and thank people. But recently I've noticed that when I attempt to reply to an emailed comment, instead of an email address when I click on their Google account name (ie Sun Ray or Casa Diamond), I get: noreply-comment@blogger.com . The bummer is that I'm unable to answer, and often I'd really like to. I worry (I'm that way) that some people might think I'm rude or lazy or some such thing, when it's just I'm unable to respond. I think most people don't even realize that their Google account is set up with this no-reply default. If that is your choice, great! If not, I found a blog post that explains (simply) how to change your Google account so that your email address is provided when you post a comment (but only to the blog owner!). Here it is!
And that's enough lecturing on that topic; on with the show!
Design - "Baubles - December"
Designer - SamSarah Design Company
Fabric - 28 count Newport Natural / Cream Zweigart
Fibers - GAST & WDW - 2 strands over 2 threads
Started - 1 January 2012
Finished - 4 January 2012
The scan of the finish is a bit blurry - the nine buttons raised it up on the scanner. It's pretty cute anyway. There's a set of nine snowmen in this series which I've got ready to stitch sometime this month.
I visited Gray's Garden Center yesterday.
I was taken with these lavender gazing balls.
The frilly ornamental Kale looked like big cabbage roses.
It was warm, and I mean warm - 67F - and sunny.
Look, the bees are out in the camellia blossoms!
Yet more ornamental kale - love these deep green leaves.

Hello Beth
The no reply blogger is a funny one. Last week Google froze my account until they made contact with me as they picked up someone trying to hack into my account.
After it was reinstated I had become a non reply blogger and I had to change my settings. So weird.
I love "Baubles", the colours and buttons are so pretty.
The cabbage roses are great additions to the garden, we have grown them quite a few years but they don't make it through our winter and you don't always see them at the garden centre. Our guests always comment on them.
I feel the same way about the noreply comment. It's frustrating! I worry like you do, that people will think I'm being rude etc. when I don't (can't) respond.
I love your colorful mittens!
Those gazing balls are gorgeous.
67 degrees - I'm sitting here in my long underwear. :D
Cute finish! Love those gazing balls and that camellia!
That was an impressively quick stitch, very nice too.
I love the Baubles! I can't decide about the ornamental kale. We had it in our beds in Louisville, but since I moved here, I haven't figured a good place for them. hmmmmm..
Hi Beth, love your stitching and the ornamental kale is amazing, isn't it?
Hugs, Kaye xoxox
The Baubles are lovely. So are your other pictures.
I have no clue how my google is set up. But seen that I do get answers I assume it's done right?
I get the no reply on my blog too...the only time that it really worries me is when I already wrote an answer to find out that...erm...can't send it. Which is really my own fault of not paying attention to detail.
What a lovely set of mittens! Now I have to go check my google settings.
I know what you mean. It is so frustrating to get really nice comments from people and not be able to even say thanks. I just hope that most are fellow bloggers so will understand.
I love those little gloves :)
Oh, that always gets me too! Some of my favorite replies *always* have the no comment thing, which makes me sad because then I can't really comment back. :(
