The Crone Spoke...to Me!

Yes, she did.  On February 29, she placed a little red hen on her list of blogs awarded the big E for excellence.  She does some serious writing over there at The Crone Speaks about national and local politics in Tennessee, so this was a particular honor.  Thanks, Crone.

Part of my responsibility as an awardee is to select ten other Excellent blogs, who then select 10 others.  Most are on my blogroll.

Birmingham Blues  CBreaux Speaks    First 50 Words

Gooseflesh    Blogging in Paris      Xtreme English  Our Bodies Our Blog

Busha Full of Grace   Sistah Craft

This kind of made up for not winning a spot among the top five in Mason-Dixon Knitting's Teeny Project Runway Contest.  The idea was to fix up a knitted animal with a knit outfit.  I was up against some heavy competition.

"A Little Red Hen Goes Out on the Town" was my offering--simple necklace-style Condom Amulet.  No match for my own favorite entry, "Babs the Sock Monkey," entirely knit by a serious competitor--monkey, dress, hat, accessories, and shoes!  Go look; it's an experience not to be missed.

Kay in NYC and Ann in Nashville are  Mason-Dixon.  They  have the best time and some very clever followers.  Their contest led me to adorn and photograph little red with all the amulets still around the apartment. Most are on the mannequins and walls at Knitty City.

It's not every day that I take time out to simply play.  Something to think about.  Do you?

Sitting in my dad's old Lazy Boy, in a rare moment of blog perusal, and what do I see? Gosh, Naomi I made it to your top ten! And for Women's Ourstory Month! Aw man! I'm honored too! So do I copy the sign, and then nominate ten blog? Wow! This is keeping the thread that binds us all from splitting.
