A Fitbit Achievement - Redwood Forest

I'm not sure how I managed this one. I know I live in a hilly area but all I did was walk to the shops and back home again. Granted I did take a different route.

I just know that right now I am pooped and in need of a drink.

I've Got Sunshine

 A BIG thank you to PoetessWug from The Wug's Backyard BlogSpot for giving me this award the other day. If you haven't checked out her blog yet you should. She shares some amazing stuff there.

Sunshine Award Rules
1. Thank the blogger who nominated you. - done
2. Answer the 10 questions on your favourite things.
3. Nominate 10 blogs to receive the Sunshine Award and let them know they've been nominated.

1. Favourite animal: Cats 
2. Favourite number: 8 
3. Favourite non-alcoholic drink: Pepsi Max
4. Facebook or Twitter: Both but I would have to say that I spend more time on FB than I do on twitter. 
5. My passion: My family, crocheting and knitting but not necessarily in that order (~_~) 
6. Getting or giving: Giving. I really enjoy seeing other peoples faces when they are given something especially if its a surprise or something they truly wanted.
7. Favourite Pattern: This is a hard one but I guess it would have to be the granny square. It's always a useful one to know & comes in so handy for many things. 
8. Favourite day of the week: I used to say school days because that's when I got a break from the boys but honestly I don't have a favourite day. 
9. Favourite flower: Carnation 
10. Favourite country: Australia but I thought Canada was pretty special. I loved visiting Vancouver Island.

I honestly cannot think of 10 blogs to receive the Sunshine award. I have follow so many of them via my Google Reader. If you wish to see what Blogs I follow check out the list on the left hand side <=== there are some amazing blogs there :)

4. Contact these bloggers and let them know about the reward

Gosh sharing 7 things about me. I had to think quite hard about this because I wanted to share something that I hadn't already told you before.

• I started making a Doctor Who scarf for Brodie last night.
  
• I don't like to start new craft projects until the one I am working on is finished. I don't like having any unfinished objects lying around.
  
• I hate to arrive late to anything. I always make sure I leave enough time just in case there are road works or something that might delay us while travelling. I quite like the saying I'd rather be late than dead on time.
  
• I use firefox for my browser but it is driving me absolutely batty at the moment. It keeps freezing on me :/
• I made my own stationary for Incredimail. I've not made any new ones for a while though. I haven't felt creative enough.
• My favourite quote is: Every little bit helps said the little old lady as she piddled into the ocean. It was also one of my Mum's favourites.
• I wish I was able to sew better. I would love to be able to make my own clothes.
