Award and what is on my hook...

I have only been blogging for a couple of months and have already received an award from Anna of Anna’s Simple Crochet.   She does the most wonderful exquisite doilies and suchlike. 


The Liebster Award involves answering the questions she presents, choosing 11 blogs to pass it on to with 7 questions that you have made up and leave a comment so that they know they have received it! Put a link back to the person you received the award from.

So to answer Anna’s questions

I hope that my translation of her French is correct.  (Anna is a Swiss living in Portugal).

What are you having for dinner tonight ?– Pea and Ham soup with crusty bread.
With who? – Myself and the cats of course.
What is your favourite flower? – All of them, but I think the Rose comes out tops.
What is your best gift ever? – God’s gift of creative hands.
What living or dead person would you like to have a drink with in a café? George Clooney, sigh!
What drink you are unable to drink? – Red wine, gives me migraines, drat!
What music you are listening to at the moment? – Umm …… depends what mood I am in. But I think blues tends to win.

Now my 7 questions

What is your favourite book of all time?
What is your favourite colour combination?
Who would you like to be stranded on an desert island with?
What is your favourite dessert (sweet)?
Do you have a hankering to see what is on the other side of the hill?
What is your favourite breakfast
Do you have any regrets?

My award goes to


Here is a question for all of you.

What are your special moments of your day?  Mine is that cup of tea after a job well done.


Just to finish, on my crochet hook this afternoon will be this shawl I am making for the cooler nights.  It is from a free pattern I found on Ravellry - South Bay Shawlette by Lions Brand.


The pattern used a thicker wool, I am using 4 ply so I am having to do more rows and it is not so lacy.  But that suits me as I want it for the winter.

Have a great Easter and see you soon. If all goes well I hope to post again over the weekend  with some crochet delights.

  1. Love the colours in your shawl Zana, I made a similar one in blues ready for the winter in Wales. Congratulations on the award and thank you for passing it on to me. I will have a look at the questions later, once I have done my list of today's jobs. I am getting on with my Granny Squares but only work on them for a couple of hours in the evening. My special moment of the day is the first cup of tea in the morning, I have a big cup and read through my blog list before starting the day's work.

  5. Congratulations Zana, it's a lovely award to receive and I remember being rather thrilled on receiving mine last August. Thank you also for nominating me, I am very touched, but as explained in my email to you, as I have already been given this gift I am declining it this time but please don't be offended for I really am so pleased that you would choose to pass it on to me! Thank you!
    I hope your Easter is wonderful, cheers, Joy x
