UMI & TSURU's Fabulous Giveaway and Some Fabulous Awards!

WOW! Talk about a Blog-a-RAMa!!! This is the fourth blog post of the day! That is a record for me. I have spent most of the day catching up on the latest TIAS. So, what is all the fuss about this giveaway and awards! Well, Let me tell you!

Have you met Umi & Tsuru? This is a blog by a gal that hails from Singapore and is she ever talented in many needle arts! Wait 'til you see the slippers she beaded for her mother. They are pieces of art! By the way, Umi & Tsuru are the names of her cute kitty cats. She is just one person with two names on her blog.
But first I must tell you about......


....her giveaway!

She is giving away
these adorable
tatted dragonfly earrings!
If you would like the chance to win them

HURRY! You only have until
September 23, 2008
to sign up.
She will choose a winner on
Sept 24th.

While you're there

tatting and needlework
of all kinds.

She is such a sweetie pie
she even awarded me with
the I Love Your Blog Award!
Thank you, Umi & Tsuru!
I love your blog, too!

Clyde's and Tattycat's on
my sidebar.
I feel very honored.


As I have already rec'd this
award from fellow tatters
and I did award it to
fellow bloggers (as the rules go);
I am going
to simply enjoy the fact
that someone else loves
my little blog about lace.
~*~
To add to the sweetness of
it all I had the honor of having
another award bestowed on
my blog by the ever lovely
She gave me the very cute



Isn't it sweet? Isn't she sweet?
Oh, the sweetness of it all.

by an artist named
She says about the award,
"I am giving this award to all the wonderful people that I visit almost every day....they have inspired me and shared their wonderful lives with all of us....
I only ask that you nominate some of the wonderful people you visit each and every day...."
As Bella Sinclair says,
" Spread the love, baby, spread the love."
Okay, the only problem
is I have over ummm....
200+ blogs on
my Google Reader!
They're ALL sweet!
I do not have time to list 200+ blogs
for this award.
What to do....
