Yippeee! I am up to 300 posts on blogger! And I didn’t forget to mark the occasion! Thanks to all of you who have been reading.. I know you’re out there.. I have a special little chart that tells me! I really love writing my blog each day – so thanks for encouraging me with your presence! I love it NEARLY as much as I love reading my long list of blog subscriptions!
To celebrate, Mikes will give one lucky commenter one of Angela’s gorgeous sew your own kits – a pack of Mikes vintage fabric scraps and a bundle of 5 1/2ms of vintage fabric too!
I’ll leave you with some photos of our lovely Melbourne day – at the Museum! It was ace!

300 posts, a great milestone for a great blog. I have come out of the lurking forest to congratulate and thank you. Your blog is fun and inspiring…
Congratulations on 300 posts – wow you have had a busy year looking back haven’t you!
And how lovely is this weather turning at the moment – I am loving Victoria – just a shame that we move in a week!
Congratulations on your 300th post! I’m a relatively new reader – been reading for a month or so. I’m based in Wellington, NZ but I have relatives in Melbourne. Currently plotting a visit to see them and check out your store and all the other crafty goodness in Melbourne while I’m there. Can’t wait!
Congrats on your 300th post, I love the photo. I enjoy reading your blog and hope to come back soon.

oooo Congrats!!! ๐ Heres to many more beautifully inspiring posts!
Well done on the big 300…always enjoy reading what is happening down at Mikes!
Hello! I am one of your regular lurkers, really enjoy your blog and your enthusiasm! You have put me on to lots of local crafters too ๐ The Bridge Road tram is not overly pram-friendly but I hope to come in to the shop again sometime soon – still have my bag from last time with delightful little golden book embellishment! Oh I do love packaging almost as much as actual shopping…
I’m relatively new to your blog, but been loving it, and can’t wait for stitching night!
PS. Whenever I look at the address, to me it looks like “meet meat Mikes”
…mmm meat:P
I love the museum too, although Clare prefers Scienceworks! I’ll emerge from lurking to try to win your competition (what an effective technique to get us to delurk)! Love your blog.
Its Spring and all I want to do is clean the house from top to bottom, drag out all my buttons, fabric and beads and make something lovely. I draw so much inspiration from meet me at mikes. You are beautiful special and a real treat on a sweet day off from work.

I love reading your blog, and keep more goodies rolling in!
I love Melbourne Museum, It’s cheap, family friendly (for all ages), educational and fun. What a great day.
How the boys have grown and some great photos of Max. Mazel Tov which means good luck in Hebrew on the blog. One I love to read. It keeps me touch with my crafty friends in Melbourne and the world. What would I do without you Pip and ‘Mike” meow.
Congratulations on the milestone!…and great photos!
Congratulations on your 300 posts! Wow that is a lot. I love reading mikes and all the lovely things you blog about.
Lots like a wonderful day at the museum, lots of discoveries.
Oh no! I missed your trip to the Museum. Did you make puppets in the Australia Gallery? I’m working this coming weekend, so I don’t suppose you’ll be visiting again so soon.
What do you think of the Huskies? They’re new and I feel compelled to say hello to them every morning (before I come upstairs and ready your blog!). If I ever get around to blogging again the Huskies are high on my list of things to mention. ๐
Congratulations on your 300th blog!
Stella xx
how wonderful is that barbed wire? it’s my favourite part of the whole museum, I think. congratulations on your threehundredth post, pip, and thanks for a lovely blog that is such a pleasure to read. keep up the good work!
I am going to take the trip to Mikes one day soon! Love reading your blog every day.
Good onya Luv!
I recently unearthed my old schoolbag up in the cupboard and it’s jam-packed with years of diaries (teen years to mid twenties) and remarked to my husband, who features in the very last one, that I was born to be a blogger. Clearly you were too..did you do the compulsive diary-keeping thing too?
happy 300th. Hope there MANY more to come !! I love reading your blog Pip…it is an inspiration to me.
Happy 300!! I’m a recent reader of your blog, some great inspiration! Wish I lived in Melbourne.
Happy 300th Pip! Thanks for creating a lovely little space for me to come and get inspired, have a giggle, reminisce and enjoy my mroning coffee each day. You rock!
happy 300th birthday!!! love your photos and your little man looks like he’s growing up and I agree the photo of your 2 men hugging…..cute!
Corrie:)
Congratulutions on your 300th post from the USA. I found your blog a while ago while googling “embroidery” and have been lurking since then. I love it!
Well done! I love the little birdie banner!
Thanks for adding so much to the craft scene in Melbourne, Pip, and coongrats on reaching this milestone!
congrats to you on a great milestone! i’m so happy for you. let the celebrations begin!
I’m a new reader, and I’m really enjoying going through your archives. 300 posts are taking a while to look through!
I need 300 more posts! I love to read this every day. Congrats.
Happy 300, Pip! I think I’ve read most of them!
xo,
Jessie
Congrats on 300 posts! Here’s to many more!
Congratulations on your 300th post!
We’re looking forward to checking out your store when we’re in Melbourne in a couple of weeks.
Oh, great to see some lurkers posting comments Pip!! Lovely day at the Museum, did you have the chicken sandwiches?? Nice to see a shot of Max for once!! What is it with broody children. I’ve had children go through the “I’m not a photo taken girl” phase, annoying & leaves big patches in their life of photos. 300 posts hey, i just passed 3!! Hope you get 3 telegrams from the Queen of Blogs, or is that you?? Love Posie
Oh Yay,
Happy Blog Day
There should be a song for the occasion.If there was i might hum a few bars.
I love the museum. I am partial to the Forest Secrets Gallery & the squids in jars. Oh & the bugs are fun too.
๐
Happy 300th, how time flies… xxx
Well done Pippy!!!
My favourite blog to date is Mike-ro-scopes!
Moca and I would love another Mike-ro-scope read.
Your day looked like lots of fun!
Love us
xoxx
just love our museum. glad you had a great day.
Well Done! Avid Lurker, first time Poster! I do love any reason to have a celebration and why not for 300 postings! Really enjoying your alphabet musings and your shop is so interesting and unique (where did the name come from?)
Congratulations Pip & thank you!!! It looks like you had a really lovely day. I LOVE the photo of the 2 big guys in your life best of all.
Love Kirsty
I love that polar bear!! He (or maybe she) was my pick of the day, when I had my own day out at the musum! (My photo’s here.)
I went for the dinosaurs, but the bugs and stuffed animals were so much better, don’t you think?
