The rules of the award are that you must:

- Nominate 15 other blogs
1. Let's start with the obvious. I love to sew. (shocking I know!) I love taking inspiration from ready made garments or from photographs and prints. More recently I've discovered the joy of sewing using vintage patterns.
2. I enjoying making homemade cordials and liqueurs. My specialty is raspberry liqueur. Yum!
3. I read constantly. I love my books. Old books, new books, history books, and mysteries, I'm picky about historical fiction. (I have a love/hate relationship with the Outlander series.) I'm currently reading the Game of Thrones series and a murder-mystery series by Donna Leon. Old books, especially those leather bound volumes with the gilt pages and embossed spines are beautiful. When I finally have a house of my own I want to huge book case, the kind with glass doors, that I can fill with antique books.
4. I'm one of five kids in my family. My three older sisters and one younger brother grew up on farm in Vermont where we raised sheep, goats, horses, and the occasional pig. And of course chickens and a couple cats and dogs just to round things out. A lot of my childhood was spent at 4-H meetings, outside, or in the barn.
5. I truly believe you are never too old to play dress up. Or watch a Disney movie.
6. One of my goals in life is to create a business out of my love of sewing and history. Not quite sure how to do that without quitting my day job ....
7. My favorite way to spend a rainy day is curled up on the couch with a good book, a cat, and a cup of Earl Grey tea.
