Rhonda of Rhoto’s Rag ( a very nice blog written by RHOnda and her husband TOon) tagged me. As I have not been tagged often before, I will play by the rules, cheating only a bit!
Here are the Rules for this Topic:
*Link to the person who tagged you.
Done
*Post the rules on your blog.
Here they are!
*Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
Ahh the hard part!
1. I had laser eye surgery 7 years ago so that my goggles would not fog up when I ski or snowboard!
2. I absolutely abhor anyone being late – that goes for me, my husband, our children, our priest at church, people coming to play practice, friends over to visit. I obsess over it!
3. If my husband is away overnight I keep the lights on in the bedroom and the television on too! Not because I am afraid mind you – I just worry that the hydro will go out and the automatic generator will fail and bad things will happen in the barn!
4. I can read, eat, watch tv and sew simultaneously
5. I love to find jobs – for anyone! In my next life I am going to own an employment agency!
6. I have attention Deficit disorder ONLY when it comes to sewing. I start one thing, see a cute fabric and start another, see a skirt pattern that I forgot about and start it….. which reminds me, I want to start that sweet Burda WOF blouse……..
*Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
Tag 6 and link– okay here is where the cheating starts! My first tag is to these Fiveblondes and since there are five of them, I can kill 5 birds with one stone! Oh I know- and Karen of Sewing by the Seat of My Pants - Cause I love her blog. It is funny, informative and insightful all at the same time. I know Karen from Pattern Review New York City Weekend. (If it sounds like I say PR NRC Weekend as if it was mecca – well — yeah it is!)
*Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
Sure will do!
Hmm I notice a similar non-sewing theme running through my blogs lately. Don’t worry- I have been sewing up a storm. The latest project is to compare these two patterns
and perhaps meld them into one tried and true, pair of pants, that I can use as a jump off point for other styles. Interestingly, both patterns are out of print! I am enjoying the task and have discovered some interesting things about both patterns. Next post I promise! I just need to take some flattering photos. Some photos that don’t make me look like “Oh some one is holding a camera I had better pose and smile”! Some photos that don’t break the camera!
That and a few daughters have been looking for jobs….
A parting note – the lost keys were found (after4 days) in a boyfriends car! Gotta love them!

Hi Connie! FUN comments! It’s nice to get to know you better, even the “quirky” side, eh!! I sure do HOPE to meet up with you this year at the Toronto Creativ Festival…
Soft hug,
Rhonda in Montreal
PS I HATE late, too!! (But, I don’t like people being way TOO early or they’ll find me in curls or holding a toilet brush! Tee! Hee!)
I think you need to update!
so do I!
Hi Connie!
Just wanted to thank you for leaving a comment on my blog! Susan and Matt were very happy – it was a wonderful day! And thanks for the encouragement about continuing to blog – I have been wondering whether or not to keep it up now that the wedding dress is done… Blogs like yours inspire me! Thanks again!
Take care,
Gwen
We’re still waiting for it . . . that sewing update. Have Connie and her sewing machine fallen into a hole? It’s been a while since I’ve seen you post on PR or here – hope you’re all okay and just busy sewing.
