Thank You, Thank You Very Much

Oh gosh, I'm blushing.

The talented artist and blogger, Tina Tarnoff, of Thought Patterns, named me a recipient of the Sexy Blogger Award. Who knew there was such a thing?! Thank you, Tina! I'm still giggling over here, feeling very clumsy and not at all sexy, which is interesting, because I'm supposed to tell you all five sexy things about myself {I'm still giggling}. This is what Mr. Original says is sexy about me {and he's totally impartial}:

1. After I take a shower, I waltz out of the bathroom with my hair wrapped up in a towel. Mr. Original says I walk differently because I'm trying to balance the turban on my head. He says this is sexy.
2. I put on my yoga pants the second I get home to my cupboard, even if I need to go out again later on. I think my eagerness to do this is a touch odd, but Mr. Original loves it. Bless him.
3. I don't like my legs, but Mr. Original does. He says I have sexy walking sticks.
4. Mr. Original also likes my smile. This was actually the first thing he said when I enlisted his help.
5. I have a high instep, which came in handy for ballet back in the day, and now looks pretty hot showcased in heels.

I'd like to pass the Sexy Blogger Award on to a few of my favorite bloggers, who happen to be mothers as well. I think there is nothing sexier than a woman who raises children and manages to make time to be creative. So, with that, I nominate Clare {thisandthat}, Elisabeth {fine little day}, Erin {Perfect Sentiment}, Isoinpapu {puhti}, Sara {happysilly}, and Screamish {poum!}. Check out their blogs, if you haven't already. Major inspiration.

Ladies: Please, feel no pressure to publicly accept this award. I just want you to know that you deserve it ;)

In addition, the lovely Bee bestowed upon me -- and this here cupboard -- the Kreativ Blogger Award. Thank you, Bee! Your kind words are so flattering ;) Cupboard visitors: Go visit Bee over at Contently!

Thank you Tina and Bee. And thank you, dear readers. I'm having too much fun with this blogging thing.

{Insert Acceptance Speech Here}

The ever-wonderful Clare just gifted me with the Kreativ Blogger Award. Clare also gave me a pat on the back last week with a Readership Award. I am so flattered ... let the blushing begin! Thank you, dear Clare.

The rules:
1. List seven things that you love.
2. Link to the person who has tagged you.
3. Give the Kreativ Blogger Award to a friend {or seven, if you can}.

Okay, my seven things include {but are not limited to}: ampersands, salsa con queso, cowboy boots, silk tops, miniature pitchers, Dutch folk art, and fresh laundry. I'd like to pass the award on to my best friend -- and a new blogger! -- Kittylou. I'd also like my longest follower, Dia, to receive this award -- her blog is an absolutely enchanting place to hang out {where fowls sometimes sleep in trees!}. Additionally, Meg, with her honesty and humor {and her sweet blog header!} deserves this award. And Chelsea never ceases to stun me with her artistic ability {hand-printed and constructed faux-geraniums! a chalkboard smock!}, so I want her to have the award, as well.
