Memes and stuff

A while back, Lenna tagged me for what I think is a really hard meme - a six word memoir. Lenna's was "Creative girl, loves sharing, connections, art". Which I think is very good. I've been pondering this myself for a while and I think I'm going to just have to go for it and stop trying to get it perfect. So, here we go: "Ex-pat quilter, mum, blogger keeps busy". It's not great - for one thing, I'm not thrilled with the word quilter as I am beginning to prefer fibre artist (nothing wrong with quilting, but I do so much that isn't quite quilting, these days), but that was two words! I suppose if I eliminate the verb, I could have "Busy ex-pat fibre artist, mum, blogger". What do you all think?

I'm not going to tag anyone, though (that will surprise no one who knows me) - but if you want to play, please do - I'd love to see what you all come up with.

I also saw another meme I'd not seen before on Libby's blog recently - Fluff Five. This one should be a lot easier - hence the whole "fluff" concept.

Five things Found in your Bag/Purse:

• keys

(can't really provide anything more interesting on that one - my bag is fairly small and minimal)

Five Favourite Things in Your Room*:

• postcard wallhanging
• naive beaded "angel"
• DD1, Sarah (ok, that's cheating, but she's in the room)
• brown "Straights of Georgia" lap quilt
• February bag with art nouveau fabric in it

*not sure quite what to do with the phrase "your room" so I have simply chosen the room I am in at present - the living room

Five Things You Have Always Wanted to Do:

• drive around all over Europe (or the US) stopping anywhere that takes my fancy
• have enough money to not have to work so I can spend my time with my kids and my art*
• visit exotic lands like India, China, Australia, Japan and so on
• be able to knit
• speak another language fluently

*this one I've actually nearly managed - hoorah!

Five things you are currently into:

I'm supposed to tag five people, but you know how I am - if you want to play, go for it.
