Sharing Blog Awards

If you've got to run ... can you think of a better location ???  I took my camera with me when I ran this weekend and captured a few shots of the fabulous view I have!

And the other cool thing is that there are some blog awards going on out there.  And Kati at the From the Blue Chair and Molly at Bailey Girl 5 have been kind enough to nominate my little, unknown blog for a recognition.  Well ... it's not really recognition ... it's a way to share some relatively unknown blogs that we've taken a liking to.

In addition to regular visits to Kati and Molly's blogs, I've got a few lesser known blogs out there that I really enjoy keeping an eye on ... there's some real talent out there people!!!  A few of my favorites:

Just a Bit Frayed

The Quilting Edge

You Know What I Love?

Yarn & Needle

Little Scraps of Happiness

Little Island Quilting

Lively Stitches

Esch House Quilts

Baily Girl 5

from the blue chair

 And then ... what comes with the deal is a chance to share a little bit about me ...

1. I am a little bit of a perfectionist and I am really working to make sure that doesn't get in the way of my quilting 
2. Per the photos ... at 49 years of age, I am teaching myself to run and will run my first event, an 8K, in Vancouver, BC on May 1st.
3. My husband is retired ... I continue to work.  He's an angel ... me, not so much.
4. I am a 9-year ovarian cancer surviver - and I try to live up to that gift every day.
5. My garden is fabulous, but I can't seem to manage to grow a plant inside the house.
6. We are blessed to have the cabin escape to - where the world moves to simple things like spending time with friends and family, communing with nature and, of course, quilting!
7. My house is a bit messy ... with fabric and batting in too many places and an ironing board that is now a permanent fixture in the family room.

Take a chance to look at these blogs ... talent ... pure talent.

All the best
