Edelweiss Patterns I was completely surprised when Lauren from the world-famous American Duchess blog nominated me for the “Very Inspiring Blogger” award. It’s always so fun to get an unexpected comment about something like this, and I get to pass along the award to fifteen other bloggers, as well. The rules for this award are:
1. Display the award and link back to the person who nominated you.
2. State 7 facts about yourself.
3. Nominate 15 bloggers for the award.
4. Notify the winners.
Here are the blogs that I’ve selected to nominate for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award:
-

-
The Quintessential Clothes Pen – The most gorgeous historical costume reproductions!

As for the seven facts about myself, here’s what I came up with:
-
My favorite color is lavender.
-
I had moved fourteen times across the country (or internationally) by the time I turned eighteen.
-
My favorite time to sew is between the hours of 9:00 pm and 1:00 in the morning…
- My earliest memories start at 2 years old.
- I love to cook and bake when I have the time.
- I spent quite a bit of time on stage when I was a child between ballet and theatrical productions.
- I have a rare talent for blinking in photographs!
So that’s the scoop for this week, and I’m working on a unique sewing project that I’ll be wearing in a location I haven’t been to for years. I have never sewn anything remotely like this yet, so it should be exciting!
Until next time, happy sewing,
Katrina
Wow, Katrina! I can’t believe that you nominated my blog for an award! So excited! 😀
I’m happy to do it, Alicia! Glad to pass it along. 🙂
Thank you! I am so honored that you picked my blog to go on your list… you’re definitely one of the most inspirational sewing blogs I read, your work is fantastic.
Thanks Katrina! 🙂
Best,
Quinn
You’re so welcome, Frances! And thank you for the kind comments – I’m so glad you enjoy the blog! You do pretty fabulous work yourself. 🙂
Of course, Quinn! Your costumes are some of the most amazing I’ve ever come across.
My grandmother has a memory like yours! It’s a wonderful gift!
Oh, how neat, Sue! She must have some amazing stories to tell. Thanks for the comment!
Katrina,
I just discovered your blog after you left a comment. We love the sound of Music and watched it as a family, again, about a month ago. I am having fun looking at back posts. Congratulations on your nomination!! I, too, love what I see!
Well, how neat, Jacqueline! Thank you for the comment! I love all the ruffly things on your blog, and it looks like we have quite similar interests.
Many blessings!
Katrina
Congradulations Katrina on receiving this award. You are definately a very inspiring blogger.
I love it when you post random facts about yourself. How fascinating that you remember everything.
Looking foreward to seeing your next project.
Congratulations on the award!!!
Your memory sounds like my younger sister’s . . . though she can’t remember *everything* that’s happened, she does have an uncanny memory for dates. I’ll ask her when something happened and she’ll say, “Oh, that was August 9th, 2009.” I, however, have to rely on the old stand-bys “Last week”, “A few months ago”, “Who knows when” . . . 🙂
Again, congratulations! 🙂
Thanks so much for the award, Katrina!! And congrats on getting it from American Duchess… super exciting! 🙂
You are more than welcome, Tara! I love seeing your sewing projects. 🙂
