My Friends / Monday

I mailed the duplicate EQ5 books out, and now mine are sitting under the tree covered in wrapping paper.  Should I?  Shouldn't I?  It's driving me nuts.  I want to start playing around with colors and shapes.  I like that  it's paperless.  I also like the fact that I would plan things before chopping up fabric and changing my mind.  So while I clean the house and care for sick kids, I want to show you my HOT NEW FINDS in blogland.  These women really inspire me.

The "Stunningly Beautiful, Did I Die & Go To Heaven?" Award goes to...  Karen!  She's from the UK and has a first class Honours Degree in Textile/Surface Design, specialising in hand embroidery.  Really.  Just do me a favor and don't read all the silly comments I leave her.  Some of her photos made me cry.  Here's her link:

The "Heck, She Can Do Anything. She's My Hero" Award goes to Brittany from the states.  Heck, she's been in Handyman Magazine!  Come on, this is cool.  I remember watching a Canadian female fix-it show in the 80's every day after school.  Gotta love a woman who knows her power tools.  Here's her blog:

Pretty Handy Girl

And last but NOT least, the "This Blog Just Feels Good.  I Must Come Here Everyday" Award goes to Christie.  Her blog is full of happy - even in the side bars!  You can find her in my follower's list.  She's the happiest face with the biggest smile.  That's her.  She is a quilter and I like her attitude and her openness.  She can be found here:

Enjoy! And don't forget the Lunar Eclipse tonight!!  Red moons are great for creativity.
