thank you

I only have a small contribution to Handmade Monday this week and not only do I want to thank Wendy for hosting this weekly blog hop........

I would also like to say a big thank you to Helen of  Raindrops 'n' Roses and Caroline at Redneedle Sewing for choosing me as a recipient for a 'Versatile Blogger Award' 

It's lovely to get an award for something I enjoy doing and as part of accepting this Award I have to.........

• Share seven random things about yourself..... read on.
• Award seven recently discovered bloggers with this award and contact them to let them know they have won..... done, read on.

So as part of receiving this Award the 7  random things about myself are...........

1. I love laying on my back watching the clouds pass by.
2. I am a complete chocaholic, I would eat it for breakfast every day if it didn't make me fat(ter).
3. I adore walking bare foot on wet sand.
4. I love books, one of my favourites is 'Good Faeries, Bad Faeries' by Brian Froud.
5. I like my sandwiches cut into triangles.
6. I gave up smoking 10 months ago and occasionally still feel the urge, (I'm not going to have one though)
7. I love watching thunder storms from the comfort of my own home. (If I was braver I would be a storm chaser).

and my choice for the 7 other blogs to be given the award to are........... 

Craft and Other Activities because Nancy always gives so much of her time for helping others.

Bits and Blobs  Amy and her wonderful creatures always make me smile.

Kazies Magical Designs .... Karens Encaustic Art is so beautiful.

Little Harriet because I find her blog is always an interesting and uplifting read.

Mad Brilliant Ideas  because Katie. I'm such a sucker for a picture of a beautiful baby.

Martha After Hours because I love her Tudor Tea Lights and Frogs.

Handmade Monday & Socks

I'm running really late this morning so because my last post was really long this is just a quick smidgen of a post today for Wendy's Handmade Monday.

I've been out and about this week so haven't got as much done as I'd hoped, I have an order for some sock 'horses' so I think I'll be busy sewing most of the day.

One nearly finished and others waiting

But before I get the sewing box out I'm going to get myself a coffee, get comfy and have a nosey at all the other great blogs out there.
