Crochet Me Crazy

Blog Award ~

Well, this is new to me but I'm going to give it a shot and see how it goes! My friend and fellow blogger, homeschooler and crocheter, Lily, gave me a blog award over at Never Fading Wood so you can stop over at her blog and say "hello!" I don't consider myself a very good blogger. This whole endeavor started out as a basic record keeping spot for all my crochet projects. One thing I guess I have done a good job at is that I kept it up all these years! Geez, I think I've been blogging since 2005! Now I'm realizing I need to memorial my blog in book format which you can now do! I wish I would've thought of doing that sooner because now it is going to cost me a fortune to have this many posts put in a book!


Now for the criteria:
To accept the award you must link back and thank the person who gave you the Life is Good award and answer the 10 questions and pass it along to 6 other blogs :)

1. If you blog anonymously are you happy doing it that way; if you are not anonymous do you wish you had started out anonymously so you could be anonymous now?

I think blogging anonymously is a great idea and I think it would have been a good decision to do it that way. I could really be more honest and open about posts and go into much more detail. Even though I have been quite open in my blog, I have to say I skim over many details that I'd rather not share with the world.

2.Describe one incident that shows your inner stubborn side.

I cannot describe a particular incident but I would have to agree that I have a stubborn side especially concerning things I believe in strongly. I'm very open minded and I give people the benefit of the doubt but once I've made my decision about something and believe it to be true and right, its pretty much useless to try to change my mind.

3.What do you see when you really look at yourself in the mirror?

I wonder why people always tell me I look younger than I am....I don't really see it myself, and yes, I would like to lose 10-15 pounds but there's nothing unusual about that!

4. What is your favorite summer cold drink?
Ice Cold Water

5. When you take time for yourself, what do you do?
Crochet, Read, spend time on the computer

6.Is there something you still want to accomplish in your life? What is it?

The goal for me is to raise my kids to adulthood as happy, healthy, well-adjusted human beings who love and serve the Lord. Also, I always say I want to see the Grand Canyon before I die too.

7. When you attended school, were you the class clown, the class overachiever , the shy person, or always ditching?

I was always pretty shy but I was raised in a small town where I knew everyone so that helped. I was never particularly out-going and I'm still not. In high school, I had some rebellious years and I did my share of skipping school.

8. If you close your eyes and want to visualize a very poignant moment of your life what would you see? Without a doubt, it would be the days and hours and then finally the moment of my mother's death less than a year ago. I was there to witness the entire process and it is something I feel incapable of expressing in words what that was like.

9. Is it easy for you to share your true self in your blog or are you more comfortable writing posts about other people or events?

I tend to be a very transparent and honest person so its not difficult for me to share things that others might be uncomfortable in sharing.

10. If you had the choice to sit down and read or talk on the phone, which would you do and why?

It would depend on the day. Some days I might rather read a book and another I might feel like talking.

To pass this award on, I wanted to recognize blogs that, in my mind, epitomize "Life is Good", as the award is named:
Folk-n-Fancy
