Hooray, Ms. Melanie of Curious Little Bird sent me some blogger fun – in the form of awards! She is an amazing plush designer and someday I want to own one of her wonderful plush creations. I follow her blog with my Google Reader, and also on Facebook; stop by and share some love!
Now on the the bloggy fun; the rule
of accepting these awards is that I have to answer some questions!
Questions
for the Sunshine Award…
Favourite Colour – if choosing
basic, I’d say blue. If we got to be specific I would say teal, raspberry, or
magenta, depending on the moment. The current color of Cherry Coke cans is a great example! I have one in front of me, but if we were out and there was a lovely colored blue car, I'm sure I would say that is my favorite.
Animal –
Depends on what is near me, I usually love all animals, especially if they
enjoy the attention. (KITTEH!) So yes, if you have an odd pet that likes being bothered,
I would probably be happy to pester it.
Non-Alcoholic Drink – fountain-served Cherry Coca-Cola, or other fountain Coke
products with flavorings.
Facebook Or Twitter –
I don’t Tweet, yet! I also find Facebook to be a time-sucker, but I still play on it.
Getting Or Giving
Presents – YES PLEASE. Okay okay, I love both, but giving gifts and
making people happy comes out of top. I do love to receive though. ;)
Flower – Gerbera daisy,
orchid (currently a Gerbera Daisy is my computer desktop, but I always drool over orchids)
Pattern Рombr̩
Passion – cooking and
creating
Number – 6? I question
that one because it isn’t really my favorite per say, but I do use it so often
in crochet that it is definitely my most useful number. (6, 12 , 18, 24, 30, 36, 42...yes, I'm pretend counting stitches!)

3. Award the Blogger Appreciation Award to as many
readers/ commentators/ supporters/ followers as you’d like.
4. Let the blogger know you've just awarded them (by leaving a
comment, a tweet, an email, etc.)
The questions:
1. How long have you been blogging?
2. What are 1-2 reasons why you started blogging.
3. What types of blogs do you like to follow/read?
4. What is 1 thing you would like to improve on as a blogger/on
your blog?
1. How long have you been blogging?
On this blog since 2008, but I used to blog/blather on
LiveJournal starting way back in the late 90s/early 00s; yeesh.
2. What are 1-2 reasons why you started blogging.
I love to take photos and share my experiences; and that seems to
be what I love to read; so why not add to the pool of knowledge? I also wanted
an outlet to share my crochet endeavors, and the kitchen adventures are
sometimes too funny not to share. On the serious side, I want a place to share
my thoughts and feel heard, even though I know I don’t have a big group
stopping by or following my posts.
3. What types of blogs do you like to follow/read?
For themes, I have my Reader set up in a few categories that
most things I read fall into; Craft Inspiration, Consumption Inspiration, Neat
Peeps, Crochet, Comics, and Food. The one that seems the least self-explanatory
in there is Consumption Inspiration; I read quite a few blogs on simplicity,
frugality, and minimalist living. I do often feel trapped by ‘stuff’ and would love to learn to live more simply and give up much of the accumulation of objects. Slow process to learn and work though, but that's why the internet is wonderful; always someone else sharing their experiences and inspiration.
4. What is 1 thing you would like to improve on as a blogger/on
your blog?
Content! I feel like I am lacking on content to share,
despite things overflowing in my mind that I should share. Something to work
on, that’s for sure!
Now for your turn! Are you reading this post? Consider yourself tagged! Feel free to take the questions and answer them on your own blog!
