Sunny sunshine

The lovely Donna from nid du tissus nominated me for a Sunshine Award.  Thank you, Donna.
 I have to answer some questions and nominate 10 blogs which bring sunshine to my life.  Donna and I share a similar reading list so some of the blogs I would have automatically nominated were on her list, so I have tried not to repeat any nominations!

Anyway here are my Q&A:

Favourite colour:  Yellow
Favourite animal: um...I don't really have one...
Favourite number: 8
Favourite non-alcoholic drink: Coffee (real not instant)
Facebook or twitter: Facebook, in a very limited way.
My passion: um, after my family...making and making, oh and making
Getting or giving presents: Both
Favourite Pattern: Sew U skirt block, so easy to adapt and reuse
Favourite day of the week: I like them all!
Favourite flower: Peony or dahlias

Favourite celebrity role model: I don't have one, I am not drawn into celebrity culture, unless you count Louise Burgeois or Frank Auerbach? Hang on, does Katherine Hepburn count as celebrity? I see a difference between celebrity (a bit vapid) and proper film star.  Am I getting too serious here?

And blogs:

Tors at girlmeetswolf
Luna Landing
Mari at Pieces of Fab
Clare at A zigzag path
Caroline at Gran Plumley
Jackie at Blissfully Imperfect
Gingermakes
Magpie Mimi
Tamsin at pimpmycurtains (love the blogname)
Rachel at Orange and Green

and one extra: Miss Dibs who I am keeping fingers crossed for as she's stuck in a waiting game.

    1. Thank you. The funny faces were from last week with my four year old off school unwell. We bought the kit for a pound from a lady selling toys from her garden in Devon!

    Yup, Katherine Hepburn counts. You can tell you like your job when you say you like everyday of the week.
