Leibster Award/Me Made May
Way back at the beginning of March, I was nominated by Paola
for a Leibster award. Now, everything has got in the way of my blogging since then. In fact on many an occasion I have had to choose between typing up a post and sewing and guess what? Sewing won every time. I now have a small backlog of projects. Anyho, with Easter approaching what better time to play catch up! I hope you don't mind Paola, I haven't been ignoring you, merely procrastinating.
for a Leibster award. Now, everything has got in the way of my blogging since then. In fact on many an occasion I have had to choose between typing up a post and sewing and guess what?

I hope you don't mind Paola, I haven't been ignoring you, merely procrastinating.
The rules of the award are, as I understand, that I need to answer the questions set by the nominator and then pass the award along to blogs with under 200 followers. Let the games begin :)
1: What is your greatest achievement?
My answer to this question is probably pretty predictable considering I am a Mother of 3 but I have to say my children. I have 3 children aged 10, 15 and my oldest who will be a fully fledged adult of 18 years old, in two months time. I am not sure I am ready to be a mother of an adult child!
2: What motivates me?
I have a lot of different motivations for doing what I do. Where sewing is concerned, I am motivated by sheer enjoyment of what I do. In other areas of life, including my work, my kids motivate me in all sorts of ways. They are all achievers in different ways and I try to lead by example.
3: What is number one on your bucket list?
I actually don't have a bucket list, partly because I would rather live in denial but also because I would rather achieve what I want to achieve now than in some point in the future. More travel would be nice as the kids get older though.
4: I find $100 on the pavement, what would I spend it on?
I could think of all sorts of nice things to spend it on. I tend to get buyers remorse after a shopping trip so a bonus $100 would probably ease my guilt. In reality though, it would probably just go in my wallet to be used for boring stuff like bread and milk!
5: Summer or winter, which do I prefer?
Easy peasy....summer all the way. Winter here tends to be cold and damp and I love the outdoors and sunshine. I love camping, the beach and barbeques. I also like making dresses and summer fabrics are just so much more pretty than winter fabrics.
Now, the last bit of the award, I am going to renege on a bit because I am so late with it and everyone else seems to have already received it but thank you Paola for nominating me.
Now while I am playing catch up with the house keeping, I have decided after much debate to sign up to "Me Made May" again this year. I know the daily photographs can be a bit tedious but I do like looking back at the outfits I wore and it does force me to think outside of the box when I dress each morning. So let's see what I can come up with this year.
'I, Andrea of Fabric Epiphanies blog, sign up as a participant of Me-Made-May '14. I endeavour to wear me-made clothing each day for the duration of May 2014'
Great to learn a bit more about the woman behind the blog! Cheers
ReplyDeleteIt must be that time of the year, cause I too have had to make the choice of sewing or blogging and sewing has been the winner.
