Stuff With Thing

I’ve had a few bits stacking up in my to-do list so here we go.

A month ago Maddy at Whitter on Autism tagged me for a meme about the 10 reasons why I blog. Which is actually interesting to me as I’ve recently been wondering why I blog. To what purpose do I continue to do something that is increasingly consuming my precious time and eating into my stitching time.

1. I started blogging to keep my parents and far flung relatives up to date with our lives. But they stopped reading, prefering phone calls and the rare letter in the snail mail.

2. I blog about my cross stitch to keep me motivated to keep going, finding new patterns, celebrating a finish - but it is eating into my stitching time.

3. I blog to sort out thoughts in my head about stuff in my life.

4. I blog to share recipes, cool stuff I find online.

5. I blog because I’ve found it has helped me meet some amazing people.

6. I blog to find out more about autism, more I read other peoples blogs (including Maddys) to help find the best ways I can help Heidi have a full and happy life.

7. I blog because I just can’t help myself.

and there I’ve run out of reasons.

The lovely Karen at Miscellaneous Adventures of an Aussie Mum (check out her blog, she is writing a book ) gave me this award

Thank you ever so much.

Finally Lightening at Lightening Online tagged me for the Food P0rn Meme.

1. What food do you consider the best “date” food? In other words, what meal or food item do you think is sexiest to eat in the company of someone you would like to look sexy around?

Lollipop

Something like this maybe

2. What well-known person would you like to share a meal with—with or without clothing. (saying whether or not clothes are involved is optional).

David Hewlett (d’uh )

3. What does your perfect breakfast-in-bed look like? (Food AND the details, please. Candles? Music? Flowers? Hot tub? Dancing girls?

Coffee, Good Book, Silence.

4. What do you consider the best application of whipped cream to be?

Pavlova

5. Oh-God-No, Biff, the yacht is sinking! You are sent to the galley to retrieve the food. What luxury food items do you snatch first? The champagne? The caviar? Smoked Salmon? Truffles? Chocolate? Or something else?

I’m not tagging anyone for the Meme but if you’d like to do it then go for it.
