The talented and fascinating Rhiann Wynn-Nolet just awarded me the One Lovely Blog Award! You should definitely take a peek at her blog and learn a little bit about her.
In the meanwhile, here are seven facts about me.
1.) My college job was working as a seamstress and makeup artist at the university theatre.
2.) I once had a poem critiqued (in public - eep!) by Allen Ginsberg.
3.) I used to run a small business out of my home making bridal dresses, veils and bridesmaids' dresses.
4.) I collect rocks. No really. They're all over the house. I bring them home from wherever I go and people bring them to me when they travel. One of my favorites is a piece of mortar from the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey a friend brought home to me.
5.) I was jealous of my little brother because he had an imaginary friend and I didn't. True story.
6.) I can knit - but only slippers.
7.) I collect fairy tale books - picture books, antique volumes, modern - you name it, I want it on my shelf.
Now, I'm tagging a few awesome people for you to get to know better. Check them out!

If your name is on the list and you'd prefer not to participate, it's all good. :)
Clearly you are WAY more talented with sewing crafts than I am, what a cool college job! Allen Ginsberg-wow, that must have been intimidating o_O
ReplyDeleteIt was *way* intimidating. Ulcer-producing intimidating!
DeleteAwesome facts. I've always wanted to be able to sew...but I don't have the patience for it. I will glue gun the hell out of something though!! haha
ReplyDeleteAnd I think it's really neat that you collect fairy tale books. I love looking at all the illustrations in them, they're always so pretty!! And your colllege job sounds way cooler than most jobs I've had! :)
Congrats on the award!!
Sewing's really pretty easy - especially if you think of it as putting together a puzzle made of fabric.
DeleteThe artwork in some of those books is just stunning - I could sit and look at them all day! :D
