Sunshine blog award


Thanks Milica from Starseed Handmade Jewelry, for including me in your list, even if I have no idea what else you said ;-)

The Sunshine Award, is awarded to bloggers whose positivity and creativity inspires others in the blog world.
The rules for accepting this award are:

Put the logo on your blog or within your post. Check.

Share the love and link to the person from whom you have received this award. Check.

Pass the award on to 12 bloggers and link the nominees within your post.

Let the nominees know they have received this award by commenting on their blog.


Ok, let's go.

1. Susannes Sammelsurium
We "met" in a Flickr group for spool knitting, but there is so much more to learn from her blog. Sorry, guys, it's in German only.

2. Spool Knitter
If you like spool knitting and even more, old and new knitting spools, this blog is a must. Maz has not only a great collection, but also shares techniques and ideas.

3. Starving Artists Team
What can I say? I love my Etsy team and it doesn't get more creative than that, believe me.

4. Handmade in Europe
Again, what can I say? Even if it's still pretty new, I love my ArtFire guild. These gals are a hoot!

5. viri-design
Elvira does not only sew great things, she is also a great friend, warm-hearted and big fun. Another German blog, so go and learn German now, you are missing something! ;-)

6. Eddy G - the Place To Be
Her wisdom makes me laugh and think and her knitted goodies are just fab!

7. ColtPixy
You should already know her name because she is the talent behind my dragon Tomomi. Check it out, there is so much more she can do.

8. Kitty Creates
I adore her felt critters, but who but you can I tell them I am madly in love with an evil lemon and a zombie potato??

9. Chopoli
I won't say anything about it, go over there and look for yourself. Her creations are unusual and so beautiful!

10. Julie Eakes
I admire polymer clay artists. This one is great. Take a look. Go. Now!

11. Creager Studios
Wow. These are not your everyday dolls.

12. Little Studio Photograph & Jewellery
Even if it weren't for Meg's beautiful items, I would go there for Arwen the Wonder Dog. I'm in love!

Ok. Check and check :-)

There are more of course and for those I didn't include please don't think it's because I don't like your blogs!! And as with all lists I make the order here is absolutely random once more.

Surprise - it's an award :-D

So I tried to think about a good posting for today. Are you interested in the fact I'll get two wisdom teeth pulled in July and had a talk with the surgeon about it today (a very good-looking surgeon at that! ;-))? Nah, I guess not.
About the funny mail exchange I had at work yesterday? Hm, that might be interesting, but I don't like to mix daily work with my blog although the thought was enticing for a moment because I really would have liked to share the laugh with you.
I don't have a picture of my latest piece yet, either.
When I opened my blog today, the hard decision was taken from me by an unexpected comment.
I was presented The Lemonade Stand Award which is given to a blogger who shows great attitude and gratitude.



Isn't it cute?

I was nominated (and so was the Europe ArtFire Guild that I am a proud member of) by Deborah Nolan, you'll find her under "Society of Stamp- & Scrap-aholics"
Thanks, Deborah, I appreciate it and your kind comment about my jewelry so much!

Now I'll push the cart on to share some great blogs with you.

Elvira at viri-design - Elviras Nähwahn
This is a blog in German and it translates as "Elvira's sewing frenzy" meaning that gal just can't keep her hands off that sewing machine. She is about to set up her own website at the moment, but I already own some of her creations now. That reminds me I still have to share my gorgeous new cat bag with you.

Cindy at CND Jewelry Tales
I love Cindy's tales, she makes her beautiful jewelry come alive (erm, Cindy, where is Geni, I am still waitiiiiiing ;-)). Check it out, I am sure you'll get drawn in just like me!

Jenny at Jenny Karlsson Design
"I like to create things with my hands, live, laugh and gather wisdom ..." And she is sharing it with you. Not only through her embroidered wisdom bags, but also through being conscious about the environment and letting you know. You'll know what I mean when you look at her blog.

Wendy at Eddy G - The place to be
I get all childish looking at her pretties and to be true I seem to get all childish talking to her. A funny warm-hearted lady with a great talent and a special humor ;-)

The last one goes to an organisation and not a craft-connected one.
Not only does it make me almost cry when I look at its blog, but it also makes me grateful that there are people out there that care and help. Take this as an example for all the good causes, charities and helping hands I am not able to mention
Gorilla.cd - the official website of Virunga National Park, DR Congo

I know there are so many more blogs and I cheer them all. Sometimes I just go browsing and it's great fun, makes me think, makes me feel I am part of something amazing. The world has never been so small ...
