New Additions, Prizes and Tags.........

I haven't been around much this weekend due to work and a very dodgy back but hey, I'm such a trooper here I am :)
Here's introducing the new additions to Twiglet Towers, Poppet, Emo and Sping (apologies for fuzzy photo), we decided that we'd have one each as I've never owned a goldfish, so I wonder if you can guess by the names, which fish belongs to which Twiggy??
Today I received the lovely clutch bag that I won from Christine at Sew Christine, the photo really doesn't do it justice, it is gorgeous, such rich fabric, Thanks very much Christine, it's terrific. I hope Christine doesn't mind me telling you that she is currently having another giveaway of her divine purses, so go take a look.
I've been tagged by Indigo Blue, thanks hun. Here are the rules that I've stolen, erm... I mean paraphrased :) from Indigo blues Blog.
Rules:
1). Name and URL of person who tagged you.
2). Post the rules.
3). Write 7 things about yourself.
4). Name 7 fave blogs.
5). Send email to 7 blogs to say that they have been tagged.

1. Indigo Blue (details on my links on the right)
2. Yeah, done that
3. Here goes, hope they aren't supposed to be interesting............

1. I'm left handed.
2. I love redheads (blokes that is) David Tennant, Damian Lewis, bring them on - just as well I married one - a redhead that is not David Tennant or Damian Lewis !! of course Mr Twiggy is much more handsome and makes a mean chilli, not sure about his abilities as a Time Lord though.
3. I really DON'T like curry - shouted that in case my mother in law is reading :)
4. I spent a long and drawn out 8 years doing an Open University degree in The Arts - ohhh get her.
5. I love George Formby films and have a programme of his autographed to Mr Twiggys grandad - cool - well I think so.
6. My mum is related to Mal King Kong Kirk (the wrestler, I bet none of you know him) so don't mess with the Twigs - lol. They are very distant relatives but we've had a few laughs down the years teasing her about it.
7. I once met Jools Holland, he was playing at a stateley home I used to work at. Got all giddy and excited and when he arrived said erm.... hmmm. hiya !! he stared at his feet and said , erm , hello. Mind blowing stuff.

Bet you'll all sleep better tonight now you know all those interesting facts, now don't go selling this stuff to the papers, ok?
I totally understand if you don't want to do this and you've done it all before, I haven't been tagged before and was obviously just dying to impart all these scintillating titbits about myself to you, if you don't want to get involved, absolutely no problem.
However, have a look at these lovely blogs which are some of my favourites. I'm also being very lazy and classing these lovely people as my taggies too !!!!

Daylily Lane
Sykes Silly Site
Falling Down the Rabbit Hole
Higglety Pigglety
Former Blonde
Maxs Craft Creations
Angelsey Allsorts

All links are on the right, so have a gander and as ever could have listed loads more.
The only crafting I've done recently are a few cards but I'll blog those later in the week as they are for challenges, so don't want the recipients to see them on here before they receive them.
Ok, that's me for now, I'm going to lay on floor, moan about my back while Mr Twiggy ignores me and prepare myself for the excitement that is Damages, am I the only person in the UK watching this???

  1. Whats Damages?I must be missing something!I will sypathise with your bad back - I was (literally) born with one (vertebra fused together)so 'Moan away'- its all justified! I think I will just do the one Tag thing - i will be the same old boring stuff otherwise - try and get on to it tomorrow - been so busy-just boring stuff, all I want to dois finish my Toadstool thingies.
    thanks for the Tag X

  2. Hi Twiggy, I haven't got around to commenting so much over the last few days, I have only just got down to the the 'Ts' in my list of blog friends. Now if your blog began with an A, I would get to visit you one of the first, although saying that I do start from the bottom sometimes, just to be fair, although the names in the middle don't fair so well either way! I like the meme about you, I hate curry and like Damian Lewis, although I never could say I have ever fancied Mick Hucknall!

  3. Louise - lol, now I did say I fancied MEN with red hair not erm... I won't say anymore as my mum says if you can't think of anything nice to say , then say nothing. You'll have to list me as a world of twiggypeasticks !
    Twiggy x
    PS I don't fancy Ronald McDonald either.

Love ya and hugs, Jan@daylilylane

  9. Thanks for tagging me Twiggy ...:) not sure I can think of 7 interesting facts about me (or even 1 when it comes to it LOL) They wouldn't be as interesting as yours ... nor as entertaining. You are a hoot!

  10. I'm left handed too and I can't stand curry. Great to learn about you

  11. I know I'm in the minority, but I don't 'get' the David Tennant thing. To me he resembles a weasel *blush* He seems a jolly nice chap, and his sonic screwdriver is an undeniably handy tool, but as for fancying him ... nope, just don't.

    Lovely fishies. x

Well I"ve finally taken the plunge...................

After drooling over many blogs for months now I've decided to finally take the plunge, so here is my new dawn.
Hence the beautiful sunrise above as photographed by Mr Twiggy through our bedroom window. (I'm sure I'll be including a lot of his pics, hope he doesn't expect commision).

I love crafting and have ever since I was a little girl and spent hours playing with my mums button tin (which I've inherited) and amused my self by making dresses for my dollies - even though I'd cut their hair and given them green felt tip highlights. Punk Tiny Tears - I should have marketed this idea !!

Hope you enjoy my work as much as I've enjoyed others who are a daily inspiration to me.

I hope to share favourite blogs, books and anything and everything with you, so enough off my blithering on and watch this space...............................................
