I have been tagged!

I have been tagged by Theresa to share 6 things about myself!

The rules are as follows:

1. Link to the person who tagged you.

2. Post the rules on your blog.

3. Write six random things about yourself.

4. Tag six people at the end of your post.

5. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

6. Let the tagger know your entry is up.

Here are my six random things:

1. I hate the feeling of flour, cornflour and powders in general , they send shivers up my spine and even typing this has done it!

2. Autumn and rain rule! I love the crisp clean air of autumn and the leaves blustering in the sky or on the ground in circles.

3. When I swim in the sea, I dont like to come out of the water, just as I did when I was a little girl.

4.I love to learn languages, I speak Greek , French, Spanish and now I am trying Japanese.

5. I am a big fan of Lost, Star Trek and documentaries.

6. Pandas and Chihuahuas are my favorite animals.

May I quote Theresa as they are my thoughts too:"I understand that everyone might be quite busy or have already been tagged, so it's totally ok if anyone feel like to opt out. For those who would like to participate, happy trailing~"

Sit and Knit

I finished this fun project from Barbara Ana Designs. I want to make it into a tote to carry knitting needles and wool , however I don't have a clue on how to make one. If anyone has a great link , please leave a comment below.

I used fuzzy thread , that I brushed to fluff out, it sparkles too :) The other threads are DMC variations and anchor multicolour.

Autumn pantry

Just finished another challenge from bbinteractive this was the autumn pantry. I decided to put these together into a cube, as I know there will be winter and spring to come. I wanted to make the corn with beads but didnt have the right colours so did the jars instead.

Below is the summer one:
