Blog Award and Excuses

Hey all!

So sorry I haven't been round much. I had a real falling out with amigurumi and crochet last year. I don't know why - I think I just did so much that I over done it, you know? I also got interested in Blythe dolls, which kind of took up all my time - even though I did crochet for them a little.

But anyways, I have signed up to do the Brentwood Craft and Gift Fair again this Christmas, after a years break, so am back to crocheting. Yay! I should hopefully be back a bit more often now.

Also, I might introduce more things to my blog. My hobbies have changed over the past year, and I feel like I could be talking about more than crochet and amigurumi. So you might see some other stuff pop up from time to time too, like Domos, Blythe and other bits and bobs.

Right, back to what I came here for! I got a message today from the lovely Joan that I had been awarded the Versatile Blogger Award! Yay! Thank you so much Joan! :D So I am to follow the rules, which are:

1. Add the award to your blog.
2. Thank the blogger who gave it to you.
3. Mention 7 random things about yourself.
4. List the rules.
5. Award to 15 bloggers.
6, Inform each one of those 15 by leaving a comment on their blog

So, here's 7 random things about me:

1. My crochet project at the moment is a bag
2. I am going to New York in May!
3. I now have 18 dolls. This time last year I had zero!
4. I have lost 1/2 a stone since Christmas!
5. I have become much more involved with photography over the past year, and had to get a Pro account on Flickr :p
6. I'm attending BlytheCon UK this year with OnePinkHippo!
7. I rarely watch TV any more. I mainly watch DVDs
