Liebster - Part 2

In my recent post Liebster - Part 1 I was excited to share that Birgitta of Handmade and Off-centered had nominated me for the Liebster Award. Here are the next parts of my Liebster response :)

My Answers to Birgitta's 11 Questions

1. What is your favorite thing to make?

Scarves. Because they are fairly quick!

2. What is your dream vacation?

The Maldives. We honeymooned there and I would love to go back :) This is a photo of a photo - I don't have an electronic copy of it, we used a camera with film back then!

3. If you could visit with someone from the blog world, what blogger would that be?

I think it would be you Birgitta! Your Little People are so sweet, and Iceland looks amazing. I stole one of your pictures. Hope that's ok :)

4. Who taught you how to knit/crochet/sew? 

I learned to knit and sew at school, and my Mum helped me a bit when I got stuck. I taught myself to crochet and the first thing I crocheted was a scarf for Little Miss. (see question 1 lol)

5. What is your all time favorite color? 

Red. Always red. A few of my red things ....

6. What about you makes you stand out or is a little different than most people you know? 

I'm Northern Irish. Living in England, most of my friends are English, so my accent stands out a bit.

7. What would be your ideal perfect day?

Sunny and warm but not too hot, time at the beach with hubby and the Little People, ice-cream and frappucinos, then feet up with a dvd and crochet on the sofa with hubby :) And someone cooking all the food!

8. What yarn is your favorite and why?

I'm not very adventurous with yarn. At the moment I'd have to say my favourite is the attic24 Stylecraft pack that I got for my birthday :) Yarn-tastic!

9. Do you attend a knitting/crochet/sewing group regularly? 

Yes, I hook with  The Barkham Hookers , run by Gaynor of Confessions of a Barkham Hooker one morning a week.

10. What are your top 5 favorite blogs? 

Before I started blogging properly, my favourites were Attic24, LittleTin Bird, Fiber Flux, LittleWoollie and BunnyMummy. I still visit all of these regularly, but I love loads more, too many to mention !

11. In what way has blogging made a difference in your life?

I find myself looking for the fun and happiness in my life so I can blog about it, its really helped me switch to a more positive outlook.
