A Special Award!

I had a wonderful surprise the other day! Thanks so much to Amy aka: ropergirl3, of Amy's Handmade Goodies and Vintage Finds, for The Circle of Friends Award!!!

The conditions of accepting this wonderful blog award are for me to list five things that I like to do. After creating that list, I am to pass on this blog award to five more bloggers that I would like to learn more about... so here goes:

Five things I love/like to do:

1. Spending time with my family.
2. Creating. Especially sewing, but I like other types of needlework, beading and I still want to learn to knit and crochet!

3. Gardening. Both flowers and vegetables.

4. Cooking. I love trying new recipes!
5. Reading. I love to sit on the porch on a warm summer evening with a good book.

Now here are the five bloggers I am passing this on to:

1. Kim at Sandbox Gems

2. Olly at Wollies

3. Catherine at The Sewing Attic

4. Lori at what's after 29?

5. Tara at SewGorgeous
