My roses
I haven't blogged for a couple of weeks because of our
RV trip. I'm home, but I found myself trying to play
catch up and slow to get back into the swing of things.
Terri from Terri's Notebook gave me this sweet award back in January when I was on vacation. I love her blog and enjoy reading about her quilting and every day life. She makes a lot of beautiful items (including bags) and sells them in her etsy shop, so if you need any, check it out through her blog. Terri has been here for me lending her support and encouraging words on my weekly blogging for quite some time. Thank you Terri!
To accept this award, here are the rules:
1. Thank the person who gave you the award. Thank you, Terri!
2. Paste the award on your blog (see above)
3. Link the person who nominated you.
4. Tell 7 interesting things about yourself (see below)
5. Nominate 7 or 8 blogs (see below)
6. Post links to those 7 blogs (see below)
Here are 7 things about me.
1. I took an oil painting class at the age of 11 and won 3 honorable mentions on my paintings in a local art show. No, I don't paint with oils any longer. I do like to doodle and draw occasionally in a sketchbook.
2. I learned to sew barbie doll clothes at 8 yrs old. I progressed to sewing clothes for myself when I was in high school.
3. I'm a country girl at heart and now live in the big city. I like all the amenities that it offers, but miss the country and wide open spaces.
4. I love the outdoors and I used to ride a snowmobile with my hubby and friends on weekends. We rode on long trips that required me to ride fast and hard to keep up with the men. No, I don't miss the snow and cold a bit.
5. My hubby and I took off work for four years and traveled in our Motorhome following the sun from Alaska to Mexico on the west coast. When we ran out of travel money, we bought ourselves a business in the sun.
6. I am a starter and not a finisher, this explains why I have approx. 25 UFO's to finish up. I get bored and move onto the next project. I've been told this is very normal by my quilting friends. I have vowed to finish one quilt for every two I start this year. We'll see how that works out.
7. I like to draw and often when I see applique quilt patterns by others, I tell myself I can do that. If I had more time and less UFO's, I would enjoy making a few quilt patterns to sell.
I would like to share this award with faithful readers and friends.
