I've been tagged


I've been tagged by a artist friend http://kimandliamsblog.blogspot.com.
So let me also do the tag thing!
I'm supposed to
1.Link to my tagger and post these rules,
2.Facts about me: some random, some weird ... all devastatingly interesting.
3,Tag 7 people at the end of my post and list their names ( linking to them)
4.Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs.
So here i go......I make it short and sweet.

1.I was born with only one arm. Leaves me wondering what other people do with two. I often get asked at markets where I exhibit' how do you paint with only one arm?' Just to tell them you don't need two arms to paint. 2.I grew up on a farm in Kwa-zulu Natal. I learn' t to speak a native african language zulu. If my children make me cross, i talk to them in Zulu. Of course they wonder whats gone into me. 3. I love collecting all antique finds, like ribbons, lace, buttons, scissors etc. I don't yet know what I'll be doing with them, but somehow , somewhere they'll come in handy. 4.I love buying books from amazon,com. I have a wish list which i tick of the minute i ordered a book, just to add another. I already have a library off books. Just makes me happy to know that I can read them whenever I want. 5.I'll addicted to all paper crafts. Scrap booking, altered books,mixed media, collage etc.I know I'm not suppose to have time doing it, but after markets i take a day or two off to play , before I start painting again. 6.I knit and crochet. I always have projects on the go. Some take years to finish, but I just love wool, especially pure wool, and the colours. 7.I often treat myself, drinking coffee in coffee shops alone. I only drink strong filter coffee. and sometimes ( Kim ) toooo much. Well there, was not to bad was it. Now choosing 7 others to tag.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and for the tag. I've never been tagged before!

Your paintings are beautiful. I have no artistic talent whatsoever, I love the magnolia and sweet pea print. It's exquisite!
