Crafty Meme

It's a horrid day today. Stella looked up at me and asked me to open the door that didn't have all that rain behind it. I told her that if I could market that kind of magic, I'd never have to work again!

So join me in a little crafty meme.

What are your hobbies? crafts, reading, baking and cooking, gardening, travel
What crafts do you do
? embroidery, papercrafts, sewing, quilting, beading, knitting
What sounds do you craft along to? Usually, whatever is on television. If I am in the craft room, I have a little boom box adapter for my iPod, and I set it to shuffle. But then I skip things that don't put me in the right mood.
First Project You Ever Made: I poked pins with ball heads into my Barbie's head giving her new earrings. My mother called me "ingenious" and left my room. Then I tracked her down and asked her if that was a good thing. I must have been about four or five.
Favorite Project: It's like picking your favorite child, isn't it? I think I'll go with Anna's Bird.
Favorite Items to Make: Unlike so many stitchers, I enjoy stitching for others, and I enjoy choosing the right project for the right person. Which may mean that some people never get anything from me. I blame the designers!

What's your favorite...
Color
: periwinkle
Movie: Some Like it Hot
TV Show: For sheer fun you can't beat Human Target. But I've had a thing for Mark Valley since Keen Eddie.
Band: Bare Naked Ladies
Book: I always say I don't choose favorites because getting my degrees in English means I have read literally thousands of great books.
Food: It is jellybean season.
Favorite Craft: cross stitch

And you? What are your favorites?

My answers are in my blog.

I never gave my Sindy (not Barbie!) dolls piercings, but they did end up with rather permanent makeup...consi

We are not going to discuss what I did to my dolls. Suffice it to say that my mom is still very amazed that I have four healthy children and I have caught her counting their fingers and toes on some visits. ;)

Meme on my blog -- I agree about skipping music -- it is quite annoying to me, too. My DD tends to skip songs all the time. We are in the car & she hoggs the radio --- flips stations, even her own CD mixes, she skips over songs. I feel like carrying a fly swatter in the car to keep her hands off the dials!!!
