Tagged by Jane

I wandered through the lidlfish's blog and found a comment left by "jane". She has tagged me!

THE RULES:

1. Once you are tagged, link back to the person who tagged you

.2. Post THE RULES on your blog.

3. Post 7 weird or random facts about yourself on your blog.

4. Tag 7 people and link to them

5. Comment on their blog to let them know they have been tagged.

My 7 things... coming from one thing.

I have obsessions. Some times they overlap. Sometimes they are short lived but they do tend to take over. I don't drink (except very occassionally to let people laugh at me).. nor smoke..because I have long ago realised I must never start what I might want to stop.

1.Pets: Cats were the first obsession. That I can remember, anyway. Sadly I discovered I am allergic to them, so I have no fondness for them at all anymore. Cats were overlapped with birds...not a couple. Lots.

2. Playing the piano lasted over 2 decades. Played for hours almost daily. Not talented enough to be confused about careers -but madly in love with it. Ran out of puff when the kids joined in, banging on one end of the piano. Can still let my hands wander around. Sometimes they remember what to do.. sometimes not. Favourite songs to play were Moonlight Sonata, Your Song and This Guys in Love with You.


3. hmm next? Maybe African Violets. Lovely flowers. Had hundreds of them. No joke. Stopped same reason as piano. Potting mix and two year olds.. not a happy combo.

4. Elton John. Loved. Loved. Loved. Your Song is officially my favorite song.

5. Making clothes for baby. Everything. Except socks and singlets. Overlocked, embroidered. Smocked.

6.Applique and patchwork. Killed the dress making dead in a stroke. This took me to fame and fortune, but the working hobby thing starts to look less attractive.

7. Second Life. Most recent all consuming addiction. Drop in and say Hello to Audrey Fotherington who is having such a time!

sneak in one more past the quota
8. Silverchair. Was too old when they were young.... but loving them now!
