Make Do Sew has been nominated for the ‘Very Inspiring Blogger’ award by fellow blogger Poppy Fox At Home, thank you so much it's made my day!
This award helps to link fellow bloggers, what a great way to build the blogging community. I did a little bit of detective work and 'link clicked' back through the nominations to find that this award is a way to give someone you admire a 'pat on the back'. The blogs I found were all over the world, America, Canada, UK and Australia. Some people have posted the above logo on their blog as a badge of honour, what a great thing to do. Share the love a bit more, go on....
There are some basic rules/responsibilities that come
with this nomination so keep these in mind when nominating.
Rules of Participation:
1. Display the award logo on your
blog.
2. Link back to the person who nominated
you.
3. State 7 things about yourself.
4. Nominate 15 other bloggers for this award and link to
them.
5. Notify those bloggers of the nomination and the
award’s requirements.
Here's 7 Things about
myself:
1. I teach fashion at my local college and started my blog so I could keep up to date with my students knowledge on blogging and social networking, a happy accident you might say. (Now I know a little bit more than them, well some of them anyway!)
2. I'm a closet geek and love a bit of twitching (bird watching), Geocaching, Star Wars, books about history/facts and find quantum physics and astronomy fascinating even though I don't really understand what it's all about.
3. My family and I love the simple things in life and are all pretty practical in one way or another.
4. I want a tattoo but don't have the nerve to actually do it in case I regret it.
5. I would like to start my own pattern cutting and sewing school one day and grow it in to a crafters paradise.
6. I am part of a chicken syndicate at my local allotment, one day a week I clean out the coops etc and collect the eggs. I love chickens, they are so endearing.
7. I like to read in the bath but keep falling asleep, I've been trying to finish the same book for almost a year now!
I had as much fun choosing my nominations as being nominated, I think blogging is ultimately about sharing. Blogs that appeal to me are either useful in some way, friendly and inviting, visually tantalising or well written (this is something I aspire to). When deciding who to nominate I tried to keep these things in mind:

Wow Lou, thank you so much!! I will have to have a think about who to nominate, just got back from a craft fair and need to make dinner now so probably won't be till tomorrow at the earliest! Very sweet of you to nominate me, and I love those 7 facts - I think we'd get on very well in real life! Rachel xx
ReplyDeleteI had such fun nominating, it's nice to be nice as they say. It took me a couple of days to get on to writing nominations, life's a bit hectic. I'm looking forward to reading your 7 facts have a great weekend xx

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this - you are so lovely. Know what you mean about the tattoo - I would love one but am too worried that something would go wrong and I would be left with a bad tattoo! So trusting. I will post about this in the next few days x
