Fabulous Friday with Monica Solorio-Snow AKA Happy Zombie

ShabbyBlogsCollageBlogFrame copy

I think it was very brave of WWC to ask me to talk about myself – does WWC have enough bandwidth?!  The people who can make a long story short… yeah, I'm not one of them.  But I will try.  I will try really hard.

My blog Happy Zombie evolved from my Cheese Zombie blog – where I was journaling my thoughts and ideas, my rants and my loves… not knowing people were actually reading it.  And they not just read it… but left me comments.  Comments I did not like, comments that were not very happy.  It was time to pull the plug on Cheeze Zombie – even though I loved to yimmer yammer.

And then it was like little Heinzelm

    WHAT A DELIGHTFUL blog you have with your SUNNY outlook and spritely fabrics to display along with your “toys” in your brightly colored home!! MOST awesome! Makes me want to visit. Speaking of visiting….I’m so sorry you had to feel ill while visiting here in Minnnesota last Spring. BUMMER! YES, I would be so happy to have an ocean nearby too!
    Your fabrics are just so joyfully colored with their fun prints! They would add the right spark to our Midwestern winter!
    Blessings to you for spreading a HUGE dose of joyful optimism here and in your blog!!

    Hi Monica. I found your blog via a “Christmas in July” club run by Quilt Fabric Delights of Australia. Following a link by another member I instantly fell in love with the Happy Glow pattern as it was just what I had been looking for. I have been living in China for a few weeks and was thinking of making a quilt using Chinese lanterns and there it was. And in wonderful Christmas prints as well which I would love to have. I’m now a fan and check back when I can to join in your happy blog.

    Why you happy little sew and sew! You did it again, put a smile on my face. Oh, yeah. I first “met” you looking around for something (likely quilts)and your blog was soooo nice, and lively, and generous.
    Then you did over your studio, loads of neat stuff in there.
    Then your very brilliant line of fabrics. Outta sight.
    There is only one thing…I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU HAD A RANT BLOG WHERE PEOPLE WERE WIENERS (sorry wieners). Glad you moved to the Happy Zombie side. Love you girl

    Stacy K in PA says:

    I am a regular lurker on Happy Zombie’s blog. I don’t have my own blog YET. I have been following several for well over a year now and I know, I am probably overdue. I just find such amazing stuff on all the other blogs, like the link to this blog, that I put so much time into reading a sewing. I don’t have a much time on my hands as I would like. I am a self taught sewer and quilter. I am sure my experiences would be interesting to someone. Um…… maybe.
    Anyway, thanks for having Happy Zombie guest post here, because her blog introduced me to yours. Thanks for the giveaway chance to, although I never win anything.
