Eeep Liebster Awards

Eeeekk I have been nominated for the Liebster Award by Tigergirl :) Firstly thank you very much for your support.

What is the Liebster Blog Award you say?
The award is for bloggers with less than 200 followers/readers who are a 'Favourite' of the nominator, and hopefully to increase their readership.
They must also post 11 facts about themselves and nominate some of their favourite blogs..
So here goes..

1. I'm 26, have a Gorgeous Husband and two little Baby boy's, Theo and Schnitzel (Maltese-Shitzu and Dachshund cross)



2. My favourite colour is definitely Purple. When I was younger, my room had purple walls, ceilings and carpet.
3. I get bored of everything really easily.
4. I like to watch the Simpsons at least once a day

5.The first time I used a sewing machine was Four months ago
6. I'm actually amazed by the lack of frustration and patience I have with sewing (since I'm the complete opposite with everything else in life)
7. I recently got accepted into my course Applied Fashion Design and Technology, and am so looking forward to going back to study (we'll see how long that lasts)

8. I was the drunk bride and my husband was the sober groom. (One of the reasons I love him)

9. I love to read books. >>> (Fav)
10. I understand everything in Greek, but don't use it enough to speak or write it.
11. I'm in love with my car Chloe the Cooper, even though she is really expensive to maintain, it's not her fault.

I was at the races in my Birthday dress, and a complete stranger came up to me and told me she loved my dress and asked where I got it. Loved telling her I made it actually.. My mates tell me all the time, but it’s a different feeling with strangers

S&K: 9/11. Do you have any aspirations for taking your sewing further, such as starting up a pattern label, opening a shop? Do you work in a creative industry? If not do you plan to eventually make a business out of your crafting or do you want to keep it a lovely hobby?
I don't work in the industry, but would love to.. bit hard in Adelaide tho.. not many big names over here:)
I certainly do! I would love to create my own clothing line and either open a shop or be a stockist. This is the reason I’ve recently started a course on Fashion, design and technology It will take awhile, but hopefully I’ll get there!

K&S: 6/10. Are you a perfectionist or a ‘get it done’ sewist?/What is your process – for sewing do you make a muslin, for knitting do you make sure to swatch? Or do you just make it up as you go?
Hrmmm at the moment, I’m a get it done, mainly because I’m self taught …. but would love to be a perfectionist, partly the reason I’m studying
I don't ever make a muslin (oops) bad sewer, bad.

Thanks Ladies <3
