A couple of weeks ago Bety from Deep End of the Loom nominated me to be recognized as a “Kreativ Blogger”. It was quite flattering and an honor to know that there are talented fiber artists out there who are reading my blog and may even be getting something out of it! I truly appreciate that! And I especially appreciate Bety’s acknowledgment of my efforts.
The Kreativ Blogger nomination is an excellent way to share one’s passions with the online community and in turn learn from others. The origin of this award and it’s logo was designed by Norwegian blogger Hulda who created it in May 2008 from fabric scraps:

Kreative Blogger
Once a blogger has been nominated for this honor, there are 7 criteria that the honoree needs to follow in order to pass this award on to others
1. Thank the person who gave this to you.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link the person who nominated you.
4. Name 7 things about yourself that no one would really know.
5. Nominate seven ‘Kreativ Bloggers’.
6. Post links to the seven blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know you nominated them.
Now for the seven things about me. Those of you who have been followers of my writings, rantings, and whatnot, know that I am a fanatic when it comes to music of all kinds. So in the “kreativ” spirit of this award, I am posting seven links to seven songs that I think will reveal a few things about me that most of you won’t already know.
1. “I Get Around” by the Beach Boys.
It’s not what you think. I’ve lived in two countries and fourteen cities.
2. “Ragmamarag” by Robbie Robertson and the Band
I am a mama, and occasionally I complain.
3. “Suspicious Minds” by Elvis Presley
I’ve been told I’m paranoid. And being in Memphis, I had to include one by Elvis.
4. “Twisted” by Joni Mitchell
Just listen to the lyrics….
5. “Your Mind is on Vacation and Your Mouth is Working Overtime” by Mose Allison
Because I’ve been told I talk too much and what I say may or may not be about nothing.
6. “Red Red Wine” by UB 40
I also enjoy good food and good wine.
7. “Three Little Birds” by Bob Marley
Because life is too short….
That was the easy part. Now for the hard part. There are many, many more blogs that I would like to add to this list of seven. But as I am limited to only seven, here are my nominees in no particular order for “Kreativ Blogger”.
