There were some weeks, and even months, when for whatever reason, there was
There are lots of great places to link up works in progress and finished projects and I sure have found them to help keep me motivated and to get ideas for future projects.
Some of my friends told me they also had noticed there were things they would like to document, but also weren't sure what to do with them on a sewing/quilting blog.
And so Really Random Thursday was born, along with a link-up so everyone could share something random.
Over the months, there have been some faithful "randomeers"--the name being coined by Hadley. Some of you have faithfully linked up nearly every week, some more frequently, some less, but all those collective random things are so much fun to read.
One time, Lucy posted a tutorial on how to thread her eyebrows using Aurifil thread. It might be one of my favorite "randoms" ever.
Fiona lets me live vicariously with her fabulous pictures of places she visits in Europe.
Katy always finds interesting facts and has the best random observations. She makes bears. I don't know anyone who makes bears.
I don't even know where to start with Katy--she is a random expert and a really funny writer.
Hadley also has a quirky sense of humor, one of my favorite things about her.
For translation, look here
Random Observation--they are all from the UK. In fact, when I mentioned that to Katy, she filled me on this random fact: they're all connected to Scotland too - Fiona's Scottish, Hadley and Lucy are married to Scots and Katy lives in Scotland.
So I thought this week maybe a little reminder might be in order.
Want to share some randomness? Here are the linky rules:
1. Link up any post from the past week that includes at least one "random" thing. It's fine to include some sewing-related things, but please include something random as well.
2. Somewhere in your post, you must link back here to my blog.
3. Try to read and comment on one or two other links.
I'll end with this random photo. Given the ongoing controversy over the legality of medical marijuana, I found the name of this sushi restaurant to be fitting for California...
Now it's your turn.

I love to read the randoms :-). I haven't linked in because I haven't written an appropriate blog post, but I read them (lots of them) every week. The random always adds a little joy :-)
Besides, as I don't live in the uk and have no connections to Scotland, I may not be eligible to link in :-P
E xx
I haven't had time to blog much lately but I hope to get back to regular posts and linking up soon :). In the meantime I'll be happy to read about the other adventures.
Living vicariously through others is one of the best perks of blogs. Most of my posts are pretty standard quilting stuff but I just had link up this week with the most Random jumpsuit pattern I've ever bought.
I do love me some random!! My face just freaked me out! How funny we all have a Scottish connection and a wicked sense of humour!
I shall endeavour to join up randomly :o)
Love your randoms x
Love the random posts, Cindy! Though I have a hard time reading blogs these days, I love pooping in every once in a while. Maybe I'll even write up a bit of random today to play along.
Lucy is great. I will have to tell my kids about that Sushi joint : )
Enjoy your day
I love that Sushi joint. Although I'm a little worried that commenter #6 likes to poop on people ;o)
Ooh the pressure to come up with a random post this evening!!!
How fun! Love the Scottish connection! It always seems funny linking up to the Randomeers on a Friday!
It's great to read an overview. It really is a great way of including non sewing related things into sewing blogs. I'm with Suz that by the time it's Random Thursday it's already Friday here in Audtralia.
I love reading the randomness. Love the Scottish connection as I too am 1/2 Scottish

My second comment for today- Why on my laptop can I NOT see the linkups but I can on my phone! Weird! No wonder I wasn't linking up......
I love random thursday! You have the most interesting life. Besides, where else would I see all those crazy signs?? :)
I love reading your Random Thursdays! Thanks so much for starting such a great link up! How do you find such great signs ;) And Scots ARE funny and random.
Ohai! I just found my way here via Cathy@Blueberry Patch, and oddly enough I was just putting together my own post of randomish thoughts. Perhaps I'll hit publish in the next day or so and link up. :-)
That's too funny about the coincidental gals from the UK with yet more coincidental Scottish connections! Love that sign too.
The Random Thursdays are always so much fun. Those Brits must have a great sense of humor. ;-)
Great sign, one of these days you should publish a book of them ! How funny that random and a Scottish connection goes together :)

The Randoms always make me laugh - I may just have to join in next Thursday! :-)
Love reading all your random posts and amazed at how you tie them all together in one! I have drafted so many RRT posts but lately can't seem to remember to hit the publish button. Next week hopefully I will remember. Sure miss being a Randomeer ;-)
Random Thursdays are some of my mst favourite posts! I love the glimpse into peoples lives and families, and their sense of humour. I read all those blogs and didn't know they all had a connection to Scotland. It's where my family emigrated from to Australia.
