There’s a bloggy game of tag going on right now (btw, we always called it tig when I was wee, I wonder where the variations come about…) Anywho, Melissa got me, and challenged me with 11 questions to answer and then to make up 11 questions to ask 11 other people (yes, I can see all of you desperately scrolling down to see if you’ve escaped over there in the back ;o) )
So here were the questions I was asked:
1. What is your favorite quilting toy (other than your sewing machine!)? My rotary cutter, coupled with my Creative Grids rulers with their fab grippy bottoms (that’s a technical term)
2. Who is your favorite fabric designer? Hmm, toss up between Tula Pink and Lotta Jansdotter (there, that was nice and eclectic ;o) )
3. What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Depends on where I am. In Provence in mid-summer it’s a nice fresh fruity ice cream, at home in mid winter it’s Ben and Jerry’s chocolate chip cookie dough or phish food frozen yoghurts
4. What is your comfort food of choice? Air popped popcorn with Kernel Seasons white cheddar seasoning (that you can’t get in the UK, and so I have care packages sent in)
5. What is the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning? On a weekday I got straight into the bathroom, shower and get dressed. At the weekend I slouch into the living room and turn the PC and the telly on before I get breakfast
6. If you were forced to give up your craft of choice…what would you do with all that free time (and extra money)? Ummmm, probably get back into the photography more (no dad, that does not mean you can now ban quilting…)
7. What’s for breakfast? Mushroom and goat’s cheese omelette
8. Easter is right around the corner – what is your favorite Easter candy? Cadbury’s creme eggs, although I usually just eat the minis as the big ones are a bit sickly
9. What is your favorite Reality TV show? Masterchef Australia
10. What is your least favorite household chore? Anything cleaning related
11. Who is your favorite celebrity and why? Erm, I’m not really a celebrity follower, sorry!
Right, my turn!

And as I have a nice variety of different crafty peeps there, from my oldest followers to my newer ones, here’s a nice variety of questions:
1. If you had a whole day entirely to yourself when you could do anything you want, go anywhere you want, and money was no object, what would you do?
2. Where is your favourite holiday spot?
3. What is your favourite time of the year?
4. What’s the favourite part of your garden, if you have one, and if not, what would you like to have?
5. What is your favourite book ever?
6. What is your favourite tactile fabric?
7. I’ve come round for dinner – I don’t like fish, lamb or avocados, and am deathly allergic to bananas and kiwi fruit, so what are you making me? (and no Susan and Hadley, you are not meant to be trying to kill me ;o) )
8. I’ve won the lottery and I’m buying all my friends one special gift, what would you like?
9. I’m running the ideal job centre, where we can find you any job you’d like, what would it be?
10. You get a class that is a captive audience for whatever you’d like to teach them, what would it be?
11. You have a day to spend with anyone you like in the world, who would it be?
Right, off you pop, get answering, and if you weren’t tagged, go and check my ‘taggees’ out, they have quite a variety of talents :o)
How weird, my cousin is allergic to kiwis too, I thought she was the only one!
PS boring bit – Sunday wasn't mothers day, it was mothering Sunday. Historically the day all congregations travelled to their local big church, or mother church. Girls who were in service, and only get half a day ff ech month would get the chance to meet up with mum at the mother church, and would often pick spring flowers for mum as they walked there. The Americans (probably) felt that it was too close to easter to make it commercially successful, so created their n version later in the year unrelated to church. Now you know!!
haha – you're IT!!!!
i didn't even know they made mini cadbury creme eggs! thank you for this information… that's my ultimate #1 favorite candy of all time. isn't it such a good thing that they're only around part of the year?
also, the grocery store where we used to live made the most incredible mushroom and goat cheese quesadilla. it makes me want to cry just thinking about it.
How fun! And I, too, did not realize Cadbury Creme Eggs came in mini! Yay for new finds!!
Ooooh… love Easter for the Cadbury Mini-creme Eggs as well. And I agree that the big ones are too much of a good thing.
That was fun to read! I enjoyed learning a bit about you.
Oh crap. You got me. Never could run very fast!

I've heard of the Kiwi allergy but 'nanas? You poor thing!!
Fun post. I misread the bit at the top as 'flabby bottom' – in my defence I've been shopping all morning and I'm tired 😉
Yeah, cheers for that! 😉
I'm allergic to creme eggs I think …. if I don't get enough of them I break out in a rash 😉 … I like the little ones too best …. BTW have you tried the mini Galaxy caramel eggs …. mmmmmmmmmmm
If I could have anything in a garden I'd have a wishing well!
Liked your answers and questions!
I`m sooo behind on my reading so a very belated thank you for the tag! I shall have to ponder this one. Great answers and questions Katy!!

Dad
I love your questions! Sorry I am just stopping by today, but we have had a heck of a week on our house!
Cadbury makes mini eggs???
I've been away for the week and am trying to catch up with my blog hopping and nearly missed this. Good thing I scrolled down otherwise I wouldn't have known about the mini eggs. Thanks for the tag and I'll be working on answering those questions soon. Hugs
