And the award goes to...

...me! ;)

Ok, so I've recently been given some bloggy-lovin' awards. It's always interesting to read what people think about your blog [I always welcome opinions and constructive criticism, in case you ever want to give feedback], and that they think it is worthy of bringing attention to it. 

But anyways, now that I've been collecting Liebster Awards the same way I collect fabrics [greedily, and a little bit furtively, in case you were wondering, ha], I figured I should probably share the fun! 

Cherie at I be's Cheraldine - She and I email back and forth several times a week and have great fun. I was recently whining about cutting fabric [my least favorite part of the process] and she offered to cut it for me. She lives in England, so I was just tickled at this offer. And then she threw out the catch...she would cut it, but there was a cutting fee...of my fabric!

Jill at Just Jill - She has recently been churning out circles of flying geese like nobody's business. I definitely admire people who can sew/quilt with little kids undertow. I've got Stephen, who at 23 is enough to keep track of while sewing :P

Linda at Surrounded by Scraps - I first came across her blog in one of the swaps I was in, and her beautiful creations just keep popping up! Linda didn't just throw together a list of people, but rather wrote a paragraph about each blogger and why she felt they deserved the award. I was very touched by what she wrote about me. I consider it to be such a great compliment that people actually want to take time out of their day to read about the shenanigans that I get up to around here!

Sincere thanks go out to all 3 of these ladies.

I nominate [just 2, because I'm too cool for rules. kidding. I just really like these 2 blogs!]:

Kelsey at Kelsey Sews - I love her recent I-spy quilt with pinwheels; I love that it's not just a charm quilt! And her favorite color is green, so that makes her A-okay in my book.

Sarah at Kiwi Gets Crafty - This girl is seriously well-traveled! She found my blog first, and commented on something, and then I read her blog from start to the present [wow, that sounds so creepy when I say it like that], and discovered that we have so much in common: the same college degree, many years of long-distance relationship with our boyfriends [she just got married yay!], and we're about the same age. Sarah is a cross-stitcher who is slowly getting into more sewing [another yay!], and she lives in New Zealand, so I'm trying not to be envious.

I hope you spend some time at all the blogs listed here. Grab some coffee [my drink of choice] or tea and enjoy!

I'll be cleaning up under my sewing table, I guess...or making a bigger mess...
