Very Inspiring Blogger

Posted on April 5, 2013 by Trystan

Kendra of the most excellent Demode was sweet enough to give me this wee little award. So what the heck, I’ll play along!

Inspiring Blogger Award

To accept the award, one must:

  1. Display the award and link back to the person who nominated you.
  2. State 7 facts about yourself.
  3. Nominate 15 bloggers for the award.
  4. Notify the winners.

Seven facts:

  1. I don’t drive, by choice. As a Californian over age 40, this makes me more of a freak than a three-armed man.
  2. I’ve set foot on all seven continents, including Antarctica.
  3. I once tripped George Takei (not on purpose).
  4. My heritage is part Southern white trash, part Chinese.
  5. I really, really, really hate hand-sewing. And I’m really, really, really slow at it. But I’ve been doing a whole hell of a lot more of it recently. Ugh.
  6. I was in a sorority in college.
  7. I legally changed my name &, no, not when I got married.

This award has been going around, so I had to hunt to find bloggers I admired who hadn’t already been nominated (& I think there are still some repeats here).

15 inspiring bloggers:

  • A Gentlewoman’s Creative Blog
  • Silverstah
  • Jenny La Fleur
  • Designs by Victoria
  • Centuries Sewing
  • A Dressmaker’s Workshop
  • Kit’s Clothing Collection
  • Historically Speaking
  • I’m Living History
  • A Dedicated Follower of Fashion
  • Arrayed in Dreams
  • Elizabethan Mafia
  • The Spanish Seamstress
  • Raised Heels
  • Mode Historique

Check out all these sites if you haven’t before — they’re great reading!
