Looking back over the past 5 years of blogging I came across a stat that I wanted to share. It isn’t about numbers, posts, hits or shares – although the geek in me LOVES all of those things. It’s about countries. Craft Schmaft readers come from all over the world… quite literally. Here’s is a chart that shows where readers have come from in the past 7 days. Check it out! Wow.
It just goes to show that craft is truly global. And while I can’t travel quite like I used to, and oh how I miss it, I can blog all over the world. God bless the interweb. So as a little experiment I’d love it if you left a comment to tell me what you can see out the window, or what it looks like from wherever you’re reading this?
I’ll start. I can see ornamental pear trees in full blossom outside my window, it’s a sunny spring day in Sydney, Australia.
Your turn… what can you see? Go on…
Craft Schmaft 
I can see the last of the season’s snow that is rapidly diminishing in the spring weather at Mt Buller, Australia.
Oh beautiful Kristine!
Hi!
I can only see darkness from my window right now – its 11:05 pm… That’s not really noteworthy, but what is noteworthy is that it has been pretty much dark since 7 pm tonight. Fall is definitely here and the daylight seems to shrink every day now. Lots of opportunities to burn the midnight…(7:00).. oil, crafting!
Oh I love the autumn – dreams of snuggling up beside the fire with stitching, before actually having to face the reality of winter. Thanks so much for commenting!
In Melbourne, Australia, it’s gorgeous & sunny!! I can see the yukky wooden fence out the window but I have my 7 week old son in my arms – he is much nicer to look at 🙂
Oh Hayley, that is the best view I can imagine. Congratulations!!
A surprisingly sunny day here in Ballarat, I see a ute waiting to be unloaded and a large dog sleeping in the sun.
Love a good ute view Jodie, was the “unloader” a good view too?
It’s a Saturday morning here in the UK. I can’t see much outside as the sun is only just up. I’m seriously considering putting the heating on for the first time since last spring 😦
Oh Mrs M I lived in London for four years and remember that only too well. Take heart, perfect crafting weather is coming your way!
I can see my apple tree heavy with fruit that needs to be picked,might make an apple cake this sunny Saturday in the south of England, UK
Yum! Hello domestic goddess Nicola!
I agree with Mrs M, you can’t see the cold here in the UK but you can feel it, my view isn’t very inspiring, my son’s trampoline!!
All the better for staring at beautiful fabric then 🙂 I did leave out the ugly view of flats across the road from the pretty pear tree at my place, I have to admit.
I can see a brick wall. Not particularly inspiring but it keeps me focussed! (I am a geek too because I just Googled “how to spell focussed”. It’s one “s” in the US and two “s”s in OZ/UK!)
Happy 5 years blogging! I’m coming up for that milestone myself soon….

Brick walls may be the future for me too Marina, very smart! I used to try working in a cafe looking out over a beach – hopeless. Never got anything done! Loving the geek in you, thanks so much for commenting.
The tiniest view of the Yarra with strains of some live music coming through the windows from outside – Melbourne 🙂
Oh Bliss!
Iti is sunny and crisp and I see a wall of mostly green oaks and maples – with here and there a leaf that has changed color, reminding me that yesterday ws the first day of fall – Maryland, just outside of Washington DC, USA
Sounds beautiful Lynnema!
8.00am on Sunday morning in Sydney, I am looking at the sun on the large datura palm outside my bedroom window.
I can just see it now Carol 🙂
I’m in bed (lazy Sunday sleep in) and if I tip my head back to peek thru the window above me I see sunny blue skies! I can also hear birds. Australia is pulling up an amazing Spring so far 🙂
Hasn’t it just Danielle, spring here has been gorgeous so far – love a sleep in (although not many to be had around here with my little munckins).
Hello Claire, happy 5 years of blogging!
I came across your site through pinterest , I must say I love it! Very inspiring. I just finished a sock bear for my nephew, but looking for more now I saw your site!
It is a beautiful sunny monday Morning (i know, i know) and fall does not seem to come here until october, so it’s really warm in Izmir, Turkey 🙂

Storms have just finised rolling through Brisbane.
I can see the rain thrashing down on the trees surrounding Newstead Abbey from my work window (can’t see the abbey though 😦 ) it’s a miserably grim day here today – summer (what summer?!?!?!) is well and truly over for us but Autumn is and has always been my favourite season!
