Poppytalk is holding a virtual awards event, and I’ve been nominated in the Handmade Artist’s Blog category. (Thanks to Grace for nominating me).
I am not a very competitive person, and I have to admit, the term “artist” makes me feel uneasy as I don’t consider myself an artist. Am I a crafter, a maker, a blogger? I don’t know. When asked my occupation on a school form the other day, I wrote “Sewing Pattern Designer.” Since I’ve started working on this book I’ve put my Etsy shop on hold. So now I can say that I’m writing a sewing book, but I’m certainly not ready to call myself a writer. So anyway, if you enjoy reading my blog and you feel inclined to vote for me in the Poppytalk awards, that would be really sweet. There are some incredibly talented artists nominated in this category. I do appreciate all of you out there who read this blog and give me positive feedback. Thank you!

…an artist… I do believe we all have a bit of an artist brewing in all of us. The beauty of all of these blogs is that it encourages our inner artist. I never thought I had artistic talents until I started cooking professionally some oh 25 years ago. One of my teachers way back when asked why I was in school when I already knew how to do what he was teaching me ~ fact isn’t I didn’t know until that moment. I was a natural at my craft, and he was bringing it out of me. Just as when I cut/sew/glue/felt and get the courage to try new crafts, well you are bringing out that in me – thank you for encouraging and teaching me new things about me!
I voted for you, I love your blog 🙂
congratulations to you! i voted!
I’ve voted, good luck. Congradulations, you deserve it!
