10 05 06 Tagged! 5 weird things............

well, I am tagged! Not once, but twice,
first

Jo from NZ

of paisley and sequin flowers fame, but also Sandie W. from

A Beautiful Craft

.
Hearing from

Norma

and she had also been tagged so those three are definitely out! So, what i decided to do was tag some folks that don't really know me from Adam but whose work i really like and whose blogs i enjoy seeing. I hope you agree with me that they are worth the visit!
First up is

Alma Stoller

who has such playful and delightful work...today she is featuring a tutorial on polymer clay. If you are at all interested, this is a must-see.


Next is

Annie W.

who is doing a tut of sorts on chickens...you'll just have to go visit and see it for yourself...and whiile you are there...check everyhting else out too!


I don't know how many folks know

Cecelia from Brazil

but she does some fantastic redwork and quilting...she is also crazyquilting and has some lovely seam treatments going!

Gail's blog

is a wonderful mix of things, but what i love the most is that everyone is smiling! She is SO upbeat it's a pleasure to read and she does awesome fiber ATC's. She even has a cool tut about them as well.

This is Gerry's blog

which is visually beautiful and chock full of interesting things if you take the time to read the sidebars and the entries....if you scroll down a bit you can see the links to last several years of Hoffman Challenge winners...that;'s some serious eye candy!



Now, 5 weird things about me....well, ummm....lets see.....how to pick....

well, my coworkers think everything is weird about me, from my name to my furkids names.... is that 1???

I have lived at my present home for about 10 years and have no rugs....most people would think that;'s weird, but it makes cleaning up so so much easier.....lol..and easy is what i am after!

Ok, here's number three....I am the only buddhist in my county....i think that is amazing, but maybe it also qualifies as weird....

I have one small mirror in the bathroom, a little hand held one to make sure my hair is not sticking out all over the place .

And....#5..I guess, speaking about hair, it's very very short...very very short....did I mention that it was short....and i cut it myself.Except for the ones that are bald, everyone I know has longer hair than me.

I would have loved to tag everyone I know.....

like Susan N.the traveller

and

Barbara C.

who has some really interesting things on her blog all the time.

and Julia C's blog

Camille's Place

that showcases some exquisite embroidery and hand dyed laces.

If I keep going...the list will be too too long....enjoy!

10 05 06 Moving things around day

I know you all wanted to know this....lol...
