You Make My Day

I have received this award from Suzie, the sweet Littlebusybee in Germany. I am honoured and glad, and like before, I feel puzzled when I have to face the problem of choosing five blogs that make my day.


Therefore I will not give any names. I think of groups of bloggers that make my day, and you can copy the picture and give it forward in your blog if you feel like it. At the moment the most thrilling group is the growing group of Eileen's and mine Summer Stash Challenge. It is exciting to come to the computer and see if anyone has joined in since the last time I looked. Then there is the group of artistic bloggers who nourish my soul. And the group of crafty people whose energy and ideas I admire. And last but not least a new group I just recognized when I mis-spelled "artistic": the arthritic bloggers who may not all have arthitis like I have but are of a more mature age and make me instantly understand what they mean because we share so many experienses, having lived a little longer than most of the bloggers. You all make my day!

Awards and aprons

As a very new blogger I'm astonished at the honour that is pouring all over me. Before I had time to react to the You make my day award I received from Kaija, I this afternoon noticed I had another one from Karen. Thank you, ladies!

The award rules:

1. Write a post with links to 5 blogs (or 10 according to some) that make your day

2. Acknowledge the post of the award giver.

3. Tell the award winners that they've won by commenting on their blogs.

After careful consideration I give this award forward to the following blogs I have found enjoyable:

Karen - contemporary embroidery for encouraging me to start my blog and helping me with my problems

Meet me at Mikes for the Hearts for Mirabel idea

Nikki Shell for the delightful Brown Owls

Fia Lotta Jansson for the joy of feeling so familiar and finding out she is from Finland

Bianca of Hollabee for giving a face to the fabrics I bought

I combine the two awards because I really don't read so many blogs yet. The one that really makes my day is the blog of Kaija, but since she just had two of these awards and has had it earlier too, I give her this instead:




This is the apron I finished a little while ago and it was meant for her coming birthday, but now I will make another one for that day, something prettier I hope.
