This week has just flown by yet again and I find myself struggling to find time to blog. It's not so much because of knitting now for my Etsy shop (which I am still trying to do) but I offered to sew some new patio chair covers for my neighbor Cheryl and it's taking me longer than I thought. Once they are done I hope to find more time to get back on here a little more often. In the meantime, Melanie has given me a cute 'versatile blogger' award. I need to list 7 things about me and then pass on the award to some other bloggy friends.Hmmm? I've done '7 things about me' before so these may be repeats, but here goes. . . .
1. I was born in England and moved to the States in 1998 with my hubby Jason (who is from CA).
2. I still have a very thick accent. Most people think I'm from Scotland, that's because I am from the North of England, near the borders of Scotland.
3. I have a twin brother! My Mom was 38 years old when she had us, (already having 4 other kids before us ranging from age 14 to 3) and I thought that was REALLY REALLY old. . .
4. until I had my first (and only) baby at age 37!
5. I started wearing glasses at age 20 then moved on to contacts and wore those (for distance) for the next 25 years or so, then 2 years ago I got brave enough to have Lasik Eye Surgery!
6. I still need glasses to see up close now (to knit and read). . . . it's an age thing, and I feel like an 'old lady' when I peep over the tops of my reading glasses to watch tv (while I'm knitting)!
7. I love fresh fruit and vegetables much more than fast food and burgers. Once Kristen filled out a little book at school telling things about her Mommy, it asked what is Mommy's favorite food. . . and she put 'salad' :-) I'm hoping to influence her with my healthy eating habits but so far she won't even touch a lettuce leaf!
So, there you are, 7 (probably boring) things you may or may not know about me. I will just leave this open to anyone that wants to join in. Hubby has taken the day off work tomorrow, I will try to get on here and post again but I'm making no promises ;-)

I love accents Denise! I have always wished I had one. I think most americans are fascinated by english accents.
Congrats on the award! :)
I love reading stuff like this. Let's us get to know you better!!
I had not clue you were from England. So do you like living in the states better??
This was cute, not boring! Have a wonderful weekend! By the way, today is the last day for my giveaway if you're interested.

Hi Denise,
Enjoyed reading the "7 things" about you. My dad was from Newcastle and I have an aunt living in Middlesborough.
I too LOVE fruit and fresh vegetables!!

I can tell everyone that you have a really thick accent;-) AND I love it.
I wear contacts too and reading glasses. So much for old age, huh?
