Sunshine Award Nominations

Posted on Monday, July 16, 2012by Juliette Esper with 3 comments

This is another Award Sewing and Style Den has been nominated by Sassy T. from A Dressmaking Journey.

Sunshine Award T&C's:

1. Thank the person(s) who gave you the award.
2. Answer 10 questions.
3. Pass the award on to 10-12ish sunshine-worthy bloggers.

So here are my 10 questions answered for you:

1. Favourite animal
I have to say dogs. Since I adopted my Staffordshire Bullterrier, Harry, I think this particular breed of dogs is amazing and so unique. I have never met a dog with so much love for humans and tenderness. And their bad reputation is just so unjustified. Every dog can be trained to be aggressive, and staffies are so devoted and eager to please their owner, they will be aggressive if you want them too. My Harry has not a single violent bone in his body, he never even fights back. Ever. All he wants is to be beside you,(wherether is means beside, under, over on your head- anywhere will do) He just wants love, and he gives love back- amazing little fellow

2. Favourite number: 5 (don't ask why, just 5)

3. Favourite non-alcoholic drink: Freshly squeezed Orange Juice in Spain in November ( the oranges are not too ripe and the juice tastes amazing. Best place for that kind of juice- Malaga Airport!!!)

4. Facebook or Twitter: Facebook, although I am only using it for sewing/blogging updates, I am not a FB socialite

5. My passion: Dressmaking, Fashion, Music, Photography, Internet

6. Getting or giving presents: Getting, not because I am a user, I am always very chuffed and grateful, but I think I am not great at choosing/presenting gifts

7. Favourite Pattern: (very unfair question) I don't really have one. Especially since starting to design my own.

8. Favourite day of the week: Used to be Friday, but now I work all weekend and my first day off is Monday, so let it be Monday!

9. Favourite flower: A Rose

10. Favourite celebrity role model: Role Model is a heavy term, I would say Inspiration. Can't even name Audrey here- she is every one's role model, and I love her eternally, but I hate cliches so I will go for Jennifer Anniston. I love her style, she is a great actress and comes across as such a nice person. She is definitely my inspiration when I hit my 40s.

And, finally, my 10 Sunshine Awards Nominations:

Liebster Blog Award nominations

Posted on Monday, July 09, 2012by Juliette Esper with 3 comments

This is the first time Sewing and Style Den has received an acknowledgment in a form of award, and with my warmest thanks to Sassy T. from A Dressmaking Journey this blog is nominated for two at once: Sunshine Award and Liebster Blog!

This blog is very dear to me and I appreciate every follower's reading time and every tiny comment. I always make sure I reply back, I long to interact with likem inded people and this way seems to be the only way for me as my hobby is not very widely popular in Ireland, and I actually do not personally know any dressmakers around my town at all!!! So again- Thank You!!!

Sassy T. is a newbie in the word of blogging, but I think she is on the right track, I loved reading through her fashion guide articles. Keep it up, Tina- you're fabulous!
