Me-Made-March Day five

Hello! Today I wore one of my favourite tops:

I also have a new Buttercup bag:


The bag allowed me to continue my stash busting mission since the striped fabric comes from a refashioned skirt dating back to 2005! The button and lining are made from a remnant of fabric I used to make my mum a dress.
Then, the very talented Rebecca from MayMade gave me a Stylish Blogger Award and that made me very happy :) But now I have to give you 7 facts about me, what can I say?! Let's see:
1. I have 7 tattoos, my first one I got when I was 15, I remember that our teachers were on strike back then :)
2. I stopped eating meat except chicken when I was a teenager and quit chicken for good last year.
3. Talking about food I put Chinese hot sauce sauce on every meal and I adore Kimchi!
4. Even though you can't tell when you see me, half my family actually comes from Madagascar.
5. I love reading scary/ghost stories.
6. When it comes to making a garment my favourite step is ironing the fabric before starting -ah, the smell of clean hot cotton!- and I hate making facings^^ -go figure!
7. I have a fondness for shabby, decaying houses and buildings and love to spot them in all the countries I visit.
Phew, I'm surprised I found that much to say^^! For the 7 bloggers I'd like to give the award to:
Lazy Stitching
Oh Lulu
Crochetie
So, Zo
Not enough time for everything
Camelias and Crinolines
One Good Apple
Alright, have a nice weekend and see you folks!

I got an award!

The terrific Tilly at tillyandthebuttons has nominated me for a Kreativ Blogger award so I must tell you 7 facts about moi.
Okay, let's see:

1. I started sewing when I was 3, I made dresses for the neighbour's German Shepherd, Joe, who endured it stoically.

2. A picture taken by a journalist of me walking out of of highschool -complete with the black anonymity band over the eyes- illustrated almost every single article dedicated to "Violence at school" in the local newspaper from 1996 to 2003.

3. In my early 20's I had a string of sports cars and would race with anyone who wished to.

4. I'm fond of cryptozoology, my favourite cryptids are sea and lake creatures like Nessie, the Cadborosaurus and the great sea serpent. When I go to a country where there's supposed spotting of these creatures I make it a point to visit said place because who knows, I could be lucky!

5. I adore travelling even though I hate having to go to airports, taking the plane, waiting in lounges... I would pay a lot of money for teleportation!

6. To continue with travelling, I tend to fall in love with the places I visit and often end up looking for means to stay there (maybe so that I don't have to take the plane AGAIN?).

7. I often get confused with other people and it's even happening more and more as I get older.

The 7 people whose blogs I equally enjoy and that I'm nominating for the award are:

1. Gwen at allmyseams, the fact that she's a lovely person shows through her creations.

2. Rüta at daiktuistorijos, an incredibly talented seamstress with a terrific sense of style.

3. Lisette at vintageorbust, not only can she sew cute garments, she always has something interesting to share on her blog.

4. Ayumi at pinkpenguin, a crafts genius, I would like to purchase everything she makes!

5. http://galagoartis.blogspot.com/: I have no idea who this person is but I'm in awe at her creations.

6. Jen at thefabledneedle is my girl crush on the blogosphere, I love everything she does be it garments, pictures or other crafts.

7. Last but not least I've recently discovered Natasha at alldressedup... She makes great clothes!
