The lovely Kathy from the Nerdy Seamstress nominated me for a Liebster award, which is very sweet considering I just started my blog less than 6 months ago. I am teaching myself how to sew and am learning most of my skills from other bloggers, and now I get to pass my thanks along by nominating other bloggers. I read my nominated blogs all the time; all focused on sewing, all have slightly different and slightly similar fashion preferences. You should really check out their blogs!

See Kat Sew (...or try to) 
Thanks so much Kat! So sweet of you and it’s fun to read a bit more about you xoxo
Looking forward to reading your details!
Thank you Kat! And OMG, I am so happy I learned so much more about you in this post! I have so many things to say! Power lifting? Wow! The going to bed/leaving bed thing – I totally relate to! And I sleep the same way, on one side – people joke that I sleep as if I’m in a coffin, I don’t move all night! 😛 And I was watching the Olympics this morning on NBC and was irked when the commentator said, “I’m surprised there aren’t more gold medal Canadian skaters – all Canadian girls figure skate and all Canadian boys play hockey”. I was like, !)*%^@#(*&$(*@&#$!! Way to stereotype us Canadians, yet again! (lol – I’m obviously still irked by that!)
And – I love your hair color – you are so lucky!
Thanks again!
Hi Eleyna
Ha! We are kindred coffin sleepers!! Sometimes I wish I could sleep on the other side because that side of the bed is pristine !
I can’t wait to read your info.
I enjoyed reading this! 🙂 I kind of like reading these because we get to see the bloggers in a different light. 🙂
I still admire your truffle dress and! that you lined it fully with bemberg rayon! I haven’t been so successful with bemberg for the bodice.
I can’t wait to see more of your makes! 🙂
Thanks Kathy. Maybe you should revisit the Truffle dress, it’s so simple to make, which makes adding the bemberg easier. i wore that dress this week and the rayon makes it so comfortable to sit in all day.
Thank you for the nonination! 😀 I am so honored. I confess I LOVE going to bed- but hate getting pout of it. 😉 I will do my best to follow the rules of 11!
