Liebster

 The Leibster Blog Award is a fantastic idea created to promote and support new blogs.

 I follow Jess from A Little Part of The World, who recently received this award. She in turn, generously nominated me.

Now, I don't consider myself as a 'new' blogger, having surpassed my 4 year blog anniversary and 500th post. Also, I was nominated for this award almost exactly three years ago, twice! (HERE) Back then, the Leibster was sans questions, so it has morphed a little as it has been passed about! I do however always welcome new readership and love finding new blogs to follow, so here we go!

The rules that came with this nomination were:

1. Link back and recognise the blogger who nominated you.
2. Answer ten questions given by the nominator.
3. Nominate ten other bloggers for the award.
4. Create ten questions for nominees to answer.
5. Notify your nominees.
6. Get an award button and display it proudly.

 My answers to questions from Jess:

What is your greatest fear? 
Poking myself in the eye with a needle when sewing by hand. Weird, I know!

What is your earliest memory?

The hullabaloo I caused shoving a Flatsy Doll into the suction tube of a ventilator when I was four. I'd had heart surgery and broke the machine. Oops!

When was the last time you had a really good belly laugh?

Last night. My man-boy who's taller than me at 12, came screaming out of the laundry because he saw his own reflection in the dark window. Still chuckling!

Have you ever broken a bone? If so, what and how?

Yes my toe. I dropped a scythe on it whist teaching in Papua New Guinea.

Chocolate, Strawberry or Vanilla?

Vanilla

If you could have any super power, what would it be?

Weird. My son asked me this last week. I was told creating peace and wish-giving were not super powers... so - To be able to heal things.

What is your dream holiday destination?

I miss my three 'nest leavers' so much; so anywhere we are together

What do you want for Xmas?

One, stress free dinner with all my family together without rush or deadlines imposing.

What’s your favourite type of music?

Eclectic. I like it all!

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?

Where I am...but in a finished house!

My nominations are:

1. Natalie from In The Night Sky
2. Laura from Elsee
3. Trish from A Dream House for Trish
4. Giulia from Something Gorgeous
5. Toni from Something Gorgeous
6. Johanne from House by the Water
7. Heidi from Adelaide Villa
8. Shielzy from My Hudson
9. Leanne from Lime & Mortar
10. Treacy from Our Forever Home

And my questions are:

1. What is your earliest memory? (It's a good one Jess!)

2. How many homes have you lived in?

3. What do you love most about blogging?

4. How would your mother describe you?

5. In five words describe your interior style

6. Current obsessions?

7. What's your most cherished possession?

8. Name three things you're grateful for

9. What are you passionate about?

10. Describe your perfect Christmas

Liebster Blog Award!

I am thrilled and honoured to have been nominated for the Liebster Award by two new blog friends; Melissa from Down Ruby Lane and Jode at Life on the River.

Liebster is a German word meaning "dearest" and the award is given to blogs with fewer than 200 followers.

The award acceptance has a few stipulations:

1.  Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it you.
2.  Reveal the five blogs you have chosen and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
3.  Copy and paste the award on your blog.
4.  Request that people you have sent the award to forward it on to their favourite bloggers.

Here are the five blogs that I have chosen to nominate:

The House on Chambers  Brooke married a farmer and also said 'I do' to a farmhouse... The House on Chambers. She has set about designing a simple, understated, and modern Australian farmhouse and posts stunning inspirational pictures and shares her new life on a farm in Australia. 


In the night sky  Natalie's blog is quite eclectic; she's a lover of interior design, fashion and food.  She shares her renovation journey along with random bits and pieces that inspire her.


The Journey Begins  I have followed Kylie's build and decoration of her home for some time and always enjoy her posts about her home and family.


Georgia Pond Melinda's blog is a journal of her home, life and style. She is currently moving into a home she has renovated and constructed in classic American style. 


 Peep My Style  I love Claudia's quirky style, her love of skulls and taxidermy! Her blog is a constant changing smorgasbord of well curated finds, images and glimpses into her world.

I found it difficult to restrict my nomination list to just five blogs as I follow so many worthy sites. I wonder if, because I received the award twice, if I should nominate another five?

 I hope you enjoy having a peep at those I have nominated and consider joining their sites as I have.
