SEVEN different things about the Gypsy:
1. I have won a First place award for one of my embroidery pieces, and one for a crazy quilt piece I created.
2. I was a featured artist in 2001 for the Marin Needle Arts Guild. My
items were on display and I had to do a presentation on stage in front
of over 200 people. thanks to a dear friend that pushed me, and it was the MOST terrifying thing I have ever done.
3. I taught myself how to knit...like I taught myself how to embroider and do mixed media. It is an accomplishment because I am dyslexic.
4. I love to write real letters by hand and mail them to people I know.
5. I raised my kids with Foster kids...its a tough job.
6. I drink tequila, and I love the cheap stuff. (And as one of my retired buddies said he could picture me dancing on tables...I have...its fun!)
7. My parents were divorced before I was born. I am their only child. And I was raised by my maternal grandmother and her youngest son.
Tagged 7 of my fav blogs (I have tons so don't be offended if you didn't get picked):
awww! i'm so flattered that you tagged me! thank you gypsy. and i am very impressed with your list of different things. you should be extremely proud of yourself for teaching yourself all those wonderful things. i am not dyslexic and i know i couldn't learn to do half the things you taught yourself! you are amazing! xoxo-k

Kelly!!!!!
Some times when I finish some thing and sit back and REALLY take it in, I am so moved...it amazes me! Thank you for recognizing that! My secret to that is being willing to do it BADLY until I can do it well! Giggle
Hugs and thanks!
