Six Random Things About Myself

Ok, Michelle is getting me back for tagging her a long time ago, lol. Also Alexandra tagged me also. So I am supposed to come up six random things about myself to tell you. This is going to take a few minutes.

1. I have a huge stuffed animal collection. As long as the stuffed animal looks real or is from Build-A-Bear, I probably have it. My living room looks like a stuffed animal convention.
2. I have this thing for Fenton cats. I have about twenty of them, but at about $50USD a piece I only buy them when one comes out that I just can’t live without.
3. The song “Bitch” by Meredith Brooks describes me to a “T”. If I didn’t know better I would swear she wrote the song describing be, though I know she didn’t. Even my off-line friends agree with me.
4. I own over 5000 books in just my personal library & I have actually read them all. I constantly add more books to that total. Most of the time every week. I even ask my friends to find me books when I can’t fine them. Thanks Michelle.
5. I adore listening to all kinds of music. I listen to just about anything except for heavy metal & rap. My album collection contains over 500 albums and my MP3 collection contains over 100 songs. Currently I am downloading from Amazon MP3.
6. Crowds make me anxious and give me headaches. I will actually go to the restroom just to get away from the crowd.
7. I never call my mom “mom” or any of those names. I never have. I have always called her “sweetie”, “love”, or “darling”. I don’t know why, but I have always done this since I was a child. No wonder we get some stranger looks when we are together in public, lol.

Fifth sentence of page meme

Michelle did it again to me, lol.

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people and post a comment on Michelle’s blog (she’s the one who tagged me) once you’ve posted your three sentences.

So here we go.

“It won’t be a big wedding, we’d both hate that, but a nice little one with some of our best friends.”

“That’s wonderful, Margot!” She was delighted for her friends. And how wonderful that they had called today, after she had made it up with Joel.

This is from “The Inheritor” by Marion Zimmer Bradley. I do not recommend this book & it pains me to have to say that. I love Mrs. Bradley’s work. But when my father (who started me on her work) and I can not get into the book and just can not read this book then I can not recommend it.

I can’t help it. I had planned on keeping this one for a long time, but I am just not liking it any more. I want it to be pink, pink, and more pink. Oh boy that is going to be monotoned. No, don’t worry, I won’t make it monotoned. But this time, the design isn’t going to be a normal looking design from me. Damn it, I want to be in the Perfection Gallery & I keep getting denied & it is pissing me off . No, it is not that they have too high of standards or anything. My site just isn’t good enough, but then I didn’t really expect to get in with either of these designs. So it is back to the drawing board and this time I am going to pester Bubs & Rilla before I apply again, maybe just Rilla I don’t know if Bubs is back yet. So as soon as I get finished with my secret project I will work on re-designing Amarantine. Hopefully, it will be the last time for a while, though I am not making any promises.

On another note, I doubt if anyone has noticed but I have closed my Signature Shoppe, Book Craze, & my portfolio. My father is planning on having me create and maintain his business website & if I am going to do that, then I am not going to be able to manage all the sites. So I am going to just maintain three. Plus our local Church is flirting with the possibility of having me maintain their website also. So I am looking at the possibility of maintaining that site also. But on the plus side, I can code as long as the templates and my friends are willing to help.

Description:

A natural disaster leaves the young girl wandering alone in an unfamiliar and dangerous land until she is found by a woman of the Clan, people very different from her own kind. To them, blond, blue-eyed Ayla looks peculiar and ugly–she is one of the Others, those who have moved into their ancient homeland; but Iza cannot leave the girl to die and takes her with them. Iza and Creb, the old Mog-ur, grow to love her, and as Ayla learns the ways of the Clan and Iza’s way of healing, most come to accept her. But the brutal and proud youth who is destined to become their next leader sees her differences as a threat to his authority. He develops a deep and abiding hatred for the strange girl of the Others who lives in their midst, and is determined to get his revenge.

Oh my goodness. The Quilting Bee is have a Tea Party. This activity is going to be a blast. We are making teacups and invites for the other bees and for Honey. You need to check out the activity page.

How do you handle blended threads? Do you kit the blends up before you start a piece, or do you grab what colors you need and blend when the need arises? If you kit up the blends beforehand, how do you store them? Do you have another option for blends to share?

Well, I haven’t worked with any blends yet, but I plan on handling them just like I handle my other threads. I will put the blends together as I need them. Though I will not store any blends cause I hate to store threads that I will not use again. I will store them until I am through with the project but after that I will get rid of the blended floss, if there is any left.
