A few more trophies

source

I have been generously awarded two more awards in the last few days and thought I should take the time to recognize the amazing bloggers who gave them to me and thanks them effusively. While I've received a few awards, I still am quite honored when I am chosen to receive one.

The first is from Jenna of Legally Brunette. She has honored me with the Versatile Blogger award.



And in receiving this award I have to tell you 7 things about myself:

1. I LOVE Cinnamon Toast Crunch. So does everyone else in our household of five. A box only lasts a day or two around here.

2. Instead of buying new yarn, I usually buy thrifted sweaters and unravel them. Saves a ton of money - you can usually get 500 yards out of a large woman's sweater.

3. My religious background is pretty unusual: I was put on the Cradle Roll at a Baptist Church, went to Elementary School at a Catholic School, when my mom divorced my father she started going to a Quaker Church and he went to a Nazarene Church. Then my step dad took us to the Methodist church, where I am still a member. Oh, and I went to a Lutheran College.

4. When I was a child, I wanted to be a back-up singer for Aretha Franklin in my spare time.

5. I love goats. If I knew the first thing about keeping goats and had some cash, I'd buy a farm and keep cashmere goats and make goat cheese and Yummy Yarn.

6. I used to collect pottery. I especially love Hull art pottery, Rookwood, and Van Briggle.

7. I'm a bird watcher and have documented 80+ species sightings.

From Sandi of Like Christmas Every Single Day I was given the One Lovely Blog Award. For this one, I have to . . . Tell 7 Things About Myself! Okay. I have to tell you that it took me over an hour to come up with the 7 things listed above, so I'm cheating, and if you want to learn 7 things about me, page up a bit.



BUT, there are lots of Lovely Blogs out there that I can award this to, so I'm passing it on to
