I'm Honoured...Thank You!

hi there!

today i'm doing a little catching up...

kindly

i have been given two awards

and as you know they take a little bit of figuring out...

to respond to them properly

and send them on their way.

the first one i received was from mindy...

her blog is 'in the loop'.

as the name suggests, mindy is crazy about crochet!

she is also very profficient at it

and makes beautiful headbands...

cute animals and figures..including a robot!

she also makes the most divine looking necklaces

with crocheting and beads intertwined.

just a few days ago she sent me some crocheted cushion covers

for flood affected queenslanders, that i will show you soon.

to receive this award i have to tell you about 4 guilty pleasures...lol!

1. the above award is so apt for my first guilty pleasure...i love creamy desserts..strawberry parfaits, pavlova, cheesecake or creme brulee..i love them all and i do feel very guilty when i indulge!
2. my second guilty pleasure is watching chick flicks...i love the romance..the build up..exploring the characters..the sweetness of the first blush of romance...mmm...a couple of hours is gone in a flash.  This pleasure was introduced at a very early age with the event of 'a sound of music' in the sixties..oh how i wanted to be julie andrews and sing my way through a romantic life...overcoming the terror of war even..everything was possible with a handsome lover!
3. my third guilty pleasure is day dreaming...haha..i can while away the hours easily in a day dream, i'm a great procrastinator..i've had years of experience..oh well  : (...the two previous guilty pleasures aid very well in my procrastination too!)
4. my fourth guilty pleasure is in listening to unpopular music...country gospel, boy bands..the everley brothers...bee gees. if it has some harmony and a sing along melody i'm into it!  crooners are invited to sing to me anytime they'd like!

so now you know a little more about this uncool chick...

i'm being honest at least ...so don't give me the flick!

i'd like to give this award to two special bloggers...

firstly to laura from 'summerhouse'

laura is a consistently sweet person with a tasteful blog...

her style is undeniably cool...romantic and chic!

she is also a warm and caring person

with a georgeous family and a blossoming business

and makes the most adorable soft furnishings and crafted pieces.

also i would like to pass this award on

 to helen from the blog appropriately named 'helen philipps'

helen is an amazingly talented woman..

she crafts constantly..making bunnies, cross stitching,

patchwork, knitting..you name it, she does it...beautifully.

helen's blog is always pretty...whether it's flowers or crafts..

she's an irresistably sweet blogger!

i hope both of you will accept this award.

i am also honoured to accept the 'liebster blog' award

from sue who blogs at 'astrachic studio'

sue's blog has amazing photo's combined with amazing graphics,

she has a lovely sense of whimsy and fun...

i am sure you'll enjoy meeting her and her fantastical blog!

thank you sue.

the aim of the 'liebster blog' is to showcase other great but not so well known blogs that we

love to follow....ones with less than 3,000 followers!

1. if you accept this award you need to display it and write a post about it.

2.  pass it on to 3 to 5 others and let them know about it.

3. link back to the person who gave it to you.
