An Award...A Tag...And A Progress Report!!!

Here is a great little award...picked up at Maree's...love the image...and was tempted by Maree who challenged bloggers on her sidebar to tell of their 5 favourite addictions. I couldn't resist playing along...so here are mine...And when actually starting to compile the list I found I could go on and on...

...and so to No 1...my little grandson who now has a little baby sister...

No 2...beach images, the call of a salty blue day, the sound of the water, sand between my toes....

...No 3...an addiction for today, this yummy fruit salad I made...white peaches, pineapple, green grapes, mango, passionfruit topped off with a mint leave...perhaps a glass of bubbly later with it!!!

No 4...books, cannot walk past a bookshop without hopping in...having a squiz at what's on offer...these books are next to my bed...and the pile keeps growing...Hubby wonders if I am going to read them all...and do I really need them...of course I do!!!

No 5...one of my favourite flowers in summer...the hydrangea under the tree fern.

And...I can't resist another 5...
A cafe latte overlooking the water when I have respite care for our daughter

Games...even at Tupperware parties (not so often these days) I'd be the first to ask...are we playing games...followed by moans ha ha...

Watching the movie Chocolat with Juliette Binoche (dig her shoes) and the gorgeous Johnny Depp...along with, you guessed it...chocolate!!!

Beautiful, soft candlelight...

The feel of sumptious, thick, rich velvet...

Thank you Maree...that was fun...I enjoyed doing this!!!

And then...in this week I was tagged by Micki to tell...

5 things in my bag...

wallet, keys, tissues, pen, calendar

5 favourite things...

dressing up, perfume, stitching, blogging, Lady Grey Tea

5 things I always wanted to do...

sing like Sarah Brightman (fat chance), be a quicker stitcher, fill a cross word out fully, go on a diet and stick to it (not much luck with that... my cooking course re-starts soon), experience a year of summer around the world

5 things I'm currently working on...

BOM by Gail Pan Designs, Table Runner by Bareroots, having a 1 hour beachwalk every day, getting through the Twilight series, a gratitude journal

5 people I am tagging...

I will be like Maree...and extend this tag and the 5 addictions to anyone who wants to play!!! Thank you Micki!!!

And to finish off... a little progress report on my New Year project...the table runner. Have finally put it all together and starting on the applique bits...hopefully finishing it this weekend...but I hear the call of the beach for my 1 hour walk...my New Year's resolution...don't normally make resolutions...too hard to stick to them...but thought this one shouldn't be too hard to keep. Enjoy the weekend...and don't forget...have a game if you feel like one...I like 500 also (cards)...and also Scrabble!!!
