Beautiful Blogger Award

O My Gosh. I'm so embarrassed. The extremely talented knit and crochet designer, Kimberly McAlindin nominated me for the Beautiful Blogger Award and I totally missed it! Over my head!

These are the kind things she said:
So, I now nominate Ellen Gormley....because between raising a family (and a ton of pets) and writing a book, and hosting crochet-a-longs and regular design work.... she updates her blog more than any other blog I read - plus, she is a really great person...

So, as part of my acceptance speech, I have to write 7 interesting things about me.... here goes

1. Someone once sent me a dressform as a RAK and I never did find out who sent it. (Thank you, again.)
2. I recently bought myself a hula-hoop for exercise. (I'm getting pretty good at it!)
3. I love Carol Burnett and think she is a comedic genius.
4. I once was cajoled into juggling dinner rolls at a certain Fashion Show.
5. I horde aluminum crochet hooks though I can only use one at a time...
6. I change my favorite color frequently, right now it is medium blue
7. I just reached 100 original projects on my project page on Ravelry

And now, I nominate.... Annette Petavy. Annette is a crochet designer with projects you'll recognize. Her blog and newsletter is in both French and English. Her newsletters in particular are very informative and I look forward to them! Of course her work is really inspired.

can I post a video?

Do you know what this means? If I can post a video, and I can get Chickee to hold the camera steady, I might be able to post crochet video clips! How cool is that? Poor Chief had to be the Guinea pig of the video experiment. This is his 2nd ever swim race. That's Chickee in the foreground encouraging him on. Chief is the one (obviously) with the green goggles.

Welcome new followers! We're up to 80! I never would have guessed that we would get up to 80. Thank you.
