liebster award

Shout out to RaChil over at The Cwafty Blog for nominating me for a Liebster Award! If there's one thing I love about blogging, it's the community. The internet is a savage place, but within this community I feel such friendliness & sharing. 

The deal with the Liebster Award is that whomever is nominated poses 11 facts about themselves, answers a series of questions from the nominator, nominates 11 other blogs, & then creates a series of questions for the new nominees to answer. So here we go!

// Facts // 

1. Cereal is my favorite food, hands down.
2. I spent a portion of my childhood homesteading.
3. It's really difficult for me to sit through an entire movie.
4. I spent half a year living in Slovenia (related note, here's an awesome Slovenian cooking blog)
5. My cat's name is Donut, but she was almost named Moist Towelette.
6. I have been a vegetarian for almost a decade.
7. I like to craft (duh).
8. If I had to listen to one artist for the rest of my life, I would pick Antony and the Johnsons.
9. When I grow up I want to be a stop-motion animation artist.
10. I can fold my tongue in half.
11. I have never broken a bone in my body. 

// Questions Answered //

1. Whats your favorite color combination? // Mint & white.
2. If you could have any animal in the world for a pet what would it be? // Maybe this makes me a boring person, but I'm sticking with cats.
3. Coffee or Tea? How do you take it? // I have tried to be a tea-drinker - sitting in my oversized knit sweater relaxing after a deep shavasana right before I go out to tend to my vegetable garden - but I'm a tried & true coffee drinker. With cream.
4. Can you do a really good fake accent? // My southern accent is slowly becoming second nature the longer I live in Florida.
5. What's the first thing you ever remember making? // I remember making a fish tank for my very first dollhouse. It involved a baby food jar, little fish cut out of foam, & some water with blue food dye in it. 
6. What made you want to start blogging? // I love to write, I love to craft. Why not both (cue the El Paso commercial)?
7. Favorite artistic/crafty medium to work with? // I love sewing projects, because of the transformation & usage. But I also love it when I can use what I have on hand & turn it into something new.
8. A movie you know word for word? // Wet Hot American Summer (Henry! HENRY! Library!).
9. What do you like to do when you're not dazzling the internet with your creative genius? // Well, I guess I got some laundry done today, so there's that.
10. What's the last show you marathoned? // This is a serious confession, so don't tell anyone, but it was Animal Hoarders. Which is a terrible show, by the way.
