Kreativ Blogger Award

A belated Happy New Year to you all!

As you can all see: I have started the year in real procrastination style, something I'm not to proud of. Someone simply stole January, where did it go? How can it be February already???

***********************************************


Just before Christmas I was awarded the Kreative Blogger Award by Pamela Price Klebaum
who has the most wonderful blog with some stunning glass work. Please go and have a look! 
Thank you Pam, it was very generous of you, I am very proud.

I now have to nominate five other bloggers, and I have been thinking long and hard. First, I have hardly looked at any blogs for the past months (nor blogged, as you can all see) - secondly I have so, so many favorites................. 

Normally I have about 30 blogs I look at daily, another 30 I look at weekly and those of you who don't blog so much I look at every new month starting. Yes, I know, so much wonderful stuff out there, so inspiring and so many new blogs wonderful blogs to add.

So how to choose just five? It has been very difficult, but here it comes (in no particular order, as they say on TV):

Margaret Cooter is my "missing link" to all things cultural, all the things I enjoyed when I lived in London and miss here in my lovely little green island. I couldn't do without her blog.

Helen Cowans is in her own words "an embroiderer who quilts" - I really enjoy following her work in her great, nearly new studio.

Ineke Berlyn is very new to blogging, but I'm a great admirer of her work and I'm sure it will be great to follow her blog.

Pat Rubert's quilts always make me laugh and to see them in the making is very inspiring.

Judy Coates Perez must be the most used "cover girl", for both Quilting Arts Magazine and Cloth, Paper, Scissors - the visual instructions for her art is great on the blog.

My only regret with this award is the logo! Both the design and the colours are too 'girly' for my taste. I really, really don't like pastel blue and pink. Pink is my least favorite colour, and to see it there at the top of my new post, clashing with the colours of my blog................ uush :O)   Still, I'm mighty honoured!

Thank you so much Mai-Britt, I was getting a bit worried as I had not heard or seen anything of you.
Good to know you're OK and up and running again.
I'm updating my blog in the next week or so - have finally started to create again. Too many ideas!
See you soon, love

Sorry, I deleted the past two comments, as I managed to post the same comment tripple.

Perhaps a tripple comment looks better than deleted ones..........
