I'm not really good at participating in the memes and blog award things that go around but I am always flattered when somebody includes me in one so I'm gonna take a minute and thank Julie for sending me a blogger award and mentioning me on her blog. She has a pretty nice blog herself and she makes baskets.... hey, Julie... got any nice yarn baskets?
So, thank you Julie for taking the time to pass it on and for thinking of me!
The second part of the deal is that I'm supposed to pass it on to 7 other bloggers. How about we make this easy and I'll just link you a few blogs I really like and leave it at that.
Tollipop... ridiculously cute artwork and little bios and stories to go with them. She's got an Etsy shop, too. I've managed, so far, to not go on a buying spree there but who knows how much longer I can hold out. I'm think'in my girls' room could use some nice prints in pretty new frames.
Marissa... she lives and knits on an island and is married to a lobster fisherman guy. 'Nuff said.
Toni of Make It Perfect... I found Toni and her site and sewing patterns while doing a search for a sunhat pattern. I still want the pattern... but still haven't ordered one. Duh.
modernAcorn... I found her site and blog totally by accident and was mesmerized by all the colored fabric but couldn't figure out for the life of me what she was sewing. Then I figured it out. Now I'm even more fascinated.
A Dress a Day... I read it for the pattern stories (mostly). They make me happy.
Sweet Georgia... its about the yarn. Look. At. The. Yarn!
Amy... a mom with kids, cats, chickens... all my favorite stuff. She tells great kid stories. The current one in particular made my choke on my coffee.
Samantha... we (meaning Tater and I) love her dressy patterns. In fact I have fabric set aside to make Tater a few more Miss Madeline dresses for summer.
Ha! That's eight! I'm one up.
So since I'm being a dork and copping out of actually passing the award on how about you do what I did... sometime soon post a few links on your blog of other blogs you really like. You know we all love the blog traffic and the comments (even if we don't admit it). Pass around a little blog love... just because its fun and a nice thing to do.
In other news... its been raining here for what seems like days. Oh, wait. It really has been raining for days. Ugh. Its gray and chilly and dreary (in June) and I'm soon gonna get all depressed and knock over a liquor store of a yarn store or something.
I just finished up a time consuming project of sorts and am hoping to finish up a few more that are in various states of completion over the weekend. I'm actually planning to post some knitting next week!
thank you for this lovely mention! your blog is incredible...i have such ardent admiration for those who are gifted with the knitting needles.

One of my life's crowning achievements, being listed in such high company! Thank you, MG!
I have checked out all these blogs, and made new 'friends'. Now how will I ever pick only 7, or 10, or 50 of my favorite blogs. I'm going to need some time....some numbers...and a hat.
