Goodness me, an award! I've never had one of those before, it was given to me by Di....thank you so much Di, I am very chuffed. Seems the rules connected to the award are:1. Put the logo on your blog or post (done)
2. Nominate at least 10 blogs which show great Attitude and/or Gratitude! (oh golly.....you are all terrific, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by singling out specific folks and leaving others off)
3. Be sure to link to your nominees within your post. (see above)
4. Let them know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog. (ditto)
5. Share the love and link to the person from whom you received your award.
I shall have to ponder deeply on this. Meanwhile it's nice to be a member of The Sisterhood; I don't have a sister (I have two younger brothers) and I don't have a daughter (I have two sons) although I have a wonderful girl-in-law Kiera. Small wonder, then, that I feel as though I have been surrounded by little boys all my life and probably also the reason why nearly all our pets have been girls.
We had a lovely anniversary dinner last night, many thanks to the nice folk who left good wishes on yesterday's blog post. And our post-St Pat's Day gig went well, and was fun. But I have realised the strings on my guitar need to be changed; it is sounding quite dead and it should have a lovely ringing tone, it's a gorgeous instrument. It's like changing your sewing machine needle, it should be done regularly, although I have known people to joke "it had strings on it when I bought it, nothing wrong with them, they'll do for another forty years". (the guitar, not the sewing machine)

Now it's time to sew a stitch or two, or possibly three, and turn into a domestic goddess.

Congratulations on your award Jennifer and Congratulations on your anniversary too. I just caught up on my reading to discover that we have the same anniversary date, how cool is that. I hope you and your hubby had a wonderful celebration because 33 years is really something to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer - thanks for checking in on my new quilting blog. Yours is great! And it sesms congradulations are in order on many fronts. Also - I like your term "girl-in-law." I may borrow it as both my boys have "girls" and it's always sort of long winded to say "my son's girlfriend" because that doesn't quite cover it. And as another point interest, one of my "girl-in-laws" is an Aussie - from Hobart. Happy quilting!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your award. I love your silver pendant too.
