Stylish?

Hello Flowers, I hope that this day finds you well? 

A wee while ago I received not one but two Stylish Blogger awards from two oh so lovely ladies, Teje from Nero's Post And Patch and Clara from Clara's Crochet Room. Thank you so much my dears, I feel honoured that you have thought of me. 



Now I have to tell you 7 things about me that you don't already know, hmmmm.....


My favourite colour is pink. When I was a child I refused to wear anything other than pink. Now, i rarely wear pink but have lots of it around the house.

My husband is the only male in the house. There's me, my 2 girls, 2 female cats and 2 female dogs. Thats how I get away with so much pink.



I cannot sew. My sewing machine either goes too fast or too slow and refuses to sew where I want it too.

I am terrified of snakes. I can't even look at them in books.

My dream is to drive across America in a VW camper even though I never use motorways in the UK.




My favourite artist is David Hockney. I love his attitude to life and art and that he is never afraid to try new things.



Ok, ok I admit it! I'm a chocoholic.

..............................

Now I have to pass the award onto 15 bloggers. This is where I began to struggle because this award seems to have been passed on to many of the bloggers that I know. I'm hoping that the bloggers that I am going to pass this onto haven't already received it. So, I would like to pass the award on to the following lovely bloggers....

At Home With MelMel
The Blueberry Patch
Chipper Nelly (and her gorgeous chickens)
Vintage at the Corner House
Green Rabbit Designs
Helen Phillips
Marmalade Rose
Silverpebble
Amanda Makes
Made and Found

That's only ten so I would like to offer it to anybody that reads my blog who fancies taking part.

In other news I am still considering making the rug from the previous post. I need to work out which yarn to use, how big etc.
I hope you have a lovely week, it's almost the weekend so I'm hoping that the weather will behave.

Ps. MelMel, blogger won't let me comment your blog. I know not why. x

    Thank you so much for considering me for the award, I feel touched. I'm really into pink too which is a bit unfortunate as I'm the only female in the house - ha ha!!

  9. Nice to know a few more things about you.I'm a pink girl too..and a chocoholic.How you feel about snakes,I'm the same with spiders.I freak out at the vine-y tops of the tomatoes,and before I put them in the bowl,I have to take the tops off and throw them in the bin.At least..hopefully..you're not likely to come across many snakes! :0)

  15. Thank you for the award sweetie, I'm very flattered.

    It's very kind of you to pass it on to me only I hope you won't be upset if I don't do it all as I find they take up sooo much time and to be honest, I'd rather be sewing, wink,wink! Please don't be cross with me, I really do appriciate it but bloggy time is my time and the only place where I don't have to abide by anyone elses rules. Golly! I'm a real rebel aren't I! lol.

    Hope you understand, I would hate to offend anyone.
    love fi x
