Beautiful Blogger Award

Last night I found out I've been nominated for The Beautiful Blogger Award by Knitnrun4sanity.  Its the first time I've ever heard of this award and I'm delighted to be nominated.  Its great to know that people are enjoying my blog and especially so when they are not clayers themselves as it means I'm achieving a goal in introducing polymer clay to a wider audience.

Thank you to Knitnrun4sanity for nominating me, Knitnrun4sanity is a keen knitter, loves to crochet and run, though I don't quite think at the same time.  A stay at home mother of 3 she likes to blog all about her gorgeous knitting and crochet projects with some everyday posts in between including one of my favourite topics running.

So I can now officially and proudly display my Beautiful Blogger Award

In order to accept my award I must now nominate 7 blogs that I myself enjoy and whom I think deserves to also be awarded with the title of The Beautiful Blogger.  I am pretty new to blogging but have slowly been building up my blog reading list, so heres my favourite bloggers in no particular order, why not pop on over for a peek at there fabulous work.

1. Free Spirit Designs I was recently introduced to this blog through CraftFest and her craft work is absolutely gorgeous .
2. Claireabellemakes Has a fabulous blog all about her DIY craft makes and bakes.
3. Handbags by Helen Blogs all about her wonderful handmade bags, I dare not show my mum for fear I may never get her off my computer.
4.  Skulls and Ponies A creative bloggger and lover of sewing, knitting and general makes, including some great posts on being an introvert as a crafter.
5. Gris Bleu One of the very first blogs that introduced me to the art of polymer clay, Gris Bleu work with clay is truly amazing and I could only ever wish to achieve her level of skill.
6. DivineChoice Creastions A fellow blogger from the CBUK crowd she writes a wonderful blog all about her adventures crafting.
7. Cristalline Another polymer clayer whose work has been another inspiration, especially for her fantastic milefiori caning work.

And now its time to write 7 things about me hmm let me think...

1. I spent most my life wanting to be a fashion designer, so I guess I've not strayed too far from the path.
2. I am an on-line gamer and can be found battling for life in instances (aka dungeons)
3. I am a bit of a geek, see above and a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan, I'm not sorry :)
4. I love to cross stitch (time permitting) in particular Mirabella's beautiful cross stitch designs
5. I can be quite shy when meeting new people
6. I've developed quite a big Irregular Choice shoe fetish, how can you not?
7. I originally wanted to take up glass lampworking, but as i live in a flat it was impossible so took up polymer clay and I'm so glad I did.

There it is and a big thank you to Knitsnrun4sanity.
