Liebster blog award

At first a picture of the finished Loose Feathers 2011 project. Because of some miscounting the open seam is smaller then I planned, but it looks alright. I choose a finish like this because it is too expensive to have every project framed. I prefer to have the Chatelaines framed with all their silks and beads.

DD discovered this spectacular blooming plant in the public garden nearby. It is 'groot hoefblad' in Dutch, 'Petasites Hybridus' or 'Butterbur' in English.

Heli honored me with a Liebster Blog Award! Thank you very much Heli.
Liebster is a German word meaning favourite, dearest or beloved. The Liebster Blog Award is awarded by bloggers to other new bloggers who have fewer than 200 followers, to help spread the word about their blogs and to help them gain wider recognition.
The Liebster award comes with four conditions that each recipient must satisfy when accepting:
1. Choose 5 up-and-coming blogs with less than 200 followers to award the Liebster to.
2. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
3. Post the award on your blog. List the bloggers you are giving the award to with links to their sites. Leave comments on their blog so they know about the award.
4. Share 5 random facts about yourself that people don't know about you.

It is very hard to choose, because there are so many lovely blogs.
Moonbeam Anything and everything but mostly stitching
Yvon Jioya's world
Michele A Simple Thread
Anne Marieke A Passion for Threads
Agi Agi & the X Factor

Now the hardest part, the five facts about myself:
1. I like to read detective thrillers, but also fantasy like Lord of the Rings.
2. I am a really terrible housekeeper and prefer stitching to cleaning.
3. I get travel-sick in everything that moves, like cars, boats and roundabouts.
4. I don't like to exercise, except hiking.
5. I love chocolate, especially the big creamy things.
