But I wanted to publicly thank everyone who responded to my moaning about not being able to get the August Burda - Reethi, Claire and Carolyn. I accepted Carolyn's offer first and was super excited when it turned up from New York last week on the same day that I picked up my October issue. I know lots of people didn't like the August issue at all but I liked the camel Michael Kors-y section even though I don't need umpteen camel coats and the Jackie O LBD.
I would also like to thank Gail for passing on the Beautiful Blogger award to me - do check out her fantastic blog - My Fabrication - and I am also going to recommend the lovely Burda offerers that I have linked above.
After reading Karin's story about giving birth on her bathroom floor I really cannot come up with anything to even begin to match that and I've been thinking about it all day so I hope you will forgive me if facts about me come out in dribs and drabs in future posts as inspiration strikes. For now I can tell you that I cannot see what the fuss about oysters is. I have tried a raw one and a cooked one and both were absolutely disgusting, never again!
Allison, I love your blog! You sew such beautiful things. I find your output really inspiring, and I am tickled that you cruised by my blog.
ReplyDeleteHmm, maybe I "over-shared" a little on the birth of my younger daughter, lol. Once everyone at our local Waitrose (British supermarket chain) was coming up to me to ask about it, I sort of loosened up and accepted that the episode just wasn't private.
I don't like oyster much either. If I have to eat them, fried is best.
