7 Interesting things about Joyce.

Good Morning blogland, I have been honoured with a little blog award thingy from my friend Jacey.  Pop over to her blog and check out her beautiful little crochet hat with flower.  Such beautifully neat work and I do so love this colour combination.  This would look fabulous against a grey sky day.

hmmmm, 7 interesting things about me, I am not sure they will be interesting but oh well here goes.  

1.  I am allergic to ironing - truly I am.  

2.  I love, love, love jammie days with my boys.  (Today is jammie day)

3.  I am not a good swimmer - at all - can't handle putting my face underwater - childhood thing that I have never outgrown.  I love my bodyboard, but won't go out where I cannot stand up.  This is not so much an interesting fact other than an embarrassing shameful fact as a Mum with two children that love the beach, but we only swim in the flags and I won't take my bodyboard when it's just me with them.  I am hawke-eye the whole time and they are restricted to staying close to me.  Luckily they are young enough it doesn't bother them, for now.  I envy seeing others diving over the waves laughing and I know I am totally missing out here, but that enclosed feeling of water swirling around my head makes me nauseas - even right now.

4.  I am not particularly fond of people who judge others by their physical appearance, or by their 'status' in the community.  

5. I have started a little made it shop (here).  I am so not ready to tell the world, but Jacey has given me courage to share it today, and I so want to share it with my friends, cause I need your honest opinion, please.  I have much more to sew and add to it, but I have already had one sale which totally blows me away.  If you remember a post I made here about jumping, then this is what I was talking about.  I went with option 1c, and I am glad I did.  Life is for living and learning.  *yikes* I would love your honest opinions re my madeit shop if you do check it out.  *sigh* I have jumped and I quite like the feeling.  Either way I have succeeded - just cause I didn't give in.  Oh and you can laugh, cause laughing is good for your health.  

6. *Ahem* My pegs are colour co-ordinated.  White pegs for indoor airer, blue pegs in caravan, pink pegs for backyard clothes line.  Prior to splitting up my pegs I would use all the same colour pegs then move onto the next colour and finally the last colour.  NEVER, EVER, did I use different coloured pegs for the same item hanging - NEVER!

7.  I eat chocolate every single day.  Sometimes a little bit and sometimes alot, but always every single day.

Ok now I have to tag some lovely friends with this award so they can share their 7 interesting things about them.  
If you are tagged below and don't wish to play, please let me know, I will not be offended at all.




Thanks so much for stopping by, have a lovely day at your place and stay tuned for my 10 x 10 x 10 later today.

I'm sorry but i can't stop laughing about your peg story! I don't care what colour pegs i use but if I have a helper there are all sorts of rules. And oh no you've tagged me!! I'm not sure if I'd have any things as interesting as you but I'll have a good think about it and then blog about them. Now off to have a gander around your secret shop!!

Gillian said...

I'm allergic to ironing also!!! ;)

Love your madeit store Joyce :)

'Joyce' said...

oh thank you girls so much. Zyatica, I look forward to seeing your new creations when they are completed. It's a bit of a scary thing to put yourself out there, but you inspired me with your jewellery party and a few other girls have taken the leap in making and selling their items at markets and online. I have been wanting to do it for so long now and its silly really to not give it a go.
Sarah - I know, I am such a sad little puppy, but I would love to find out 7 things about you, and I bet you they are so interesting - there you go!! I look forward to finding out. lol.
Gillian - woo hoo - we just may have a club going here. forget burn the bra - lets melt the iron. *giggle* oh i need help.
thanks for checking out my little store and not laughing too much. lol. if i dont sell them, i at least have teacher gifts for the next few years.
thanks so much for stopping by.

I love the peg story, I had to get wooden pegs because I knew I would be annoyed if the pegs weren't lined up in colour patterns on the line - ridiculous I know!
