Eight questions

Carys of La Ville Inconnue - one of my favourite blogs (which I try to resist commenting on too much in case I look like a crazed old stalker) - tagged me in a game of eight questions, which is just the excuse I need for a blog post while I don't yet have a finished dress to show you. So here goes... 

1. What never fails to cheer you up?

Ordering a Firezza and stuffing it in my face while rewatching favourite episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm with my boyfriend. Nom nom nom! 

2. If you could live one day of your life over again, what would it be?
Hmm... maybe one of those days when you can't stop giggling over stupid stuff... probably one of the crackers days we spent on holiday in Croatia.

3. What do you like best about yourself?
The workings of my genius mind and my superhuman ability to guess the forthcoming plot developments and twists of all movies and TV shows, much to the frustration of the lad.

4. What would you change about yourself?
My life would be easier if I stopped worrying and feeling guilty all the time.

5. What have you enjoyed best about blogging?

Reading blogs is what inspired me to try out sewing in the first place and writing a blog - and receiving comments from you, my dear internet friends - has kept me at it. And both blogging and sewing have freed me from the shackles of shopping.

6. Who/what is your ultimate source of inspiration?

Fashion inspiration? The early movies of Jean-Luc Godard, bien sûr...

7. If you could be anywhere in the world by now, where would you be?

I've been slightly obsessed with the idea of going to Tokyo for a while now but other trips and financial outgoings keep getting in the way. Apparently the toilets have buttons that you press to play music, emit fragrances and lord only knows what else. Cripes!

8. Who would you invite to your ideal dinner party?

Larry David, Agnes Varda, Elvis, Nigel Slater, Barack Obama, French and Saunders. We'd have a hoot!

Now I'm supposed to tag eight people - The Chosen Ones are:

Amelia, the other half of La Ville Inconnue, so she doesn't feel left out (athough she really should be revising)

Ali from The Wardrobe Reimagined, the brains behind Summer Essentials Sew-along

Lily from The House of Mirth because we haven't heard from her in a while

Zoe of 'So Zo...', because she's moving back to the UK soon and I'd like to know more about her before we arrange a blogger meet up!

And four people who shared the love with a Kreativ Blogger award a few months back:

Debi from My Happy Sewing Place

Susannah at Cargo Cult Craft

Rachel at Boo Dogg and Me

Mena at The Sew Weekly

And ask them eight questions:

1. What is your staple meal? (ie. what meal do you cook most often, when you can't be bothered to think of anything adventurous)

2. What do you want to be when you grow up?

3. What book are you reading at the moment (if any)? 

4. How do you relax?

5. What colour are the interior walls of your home?

6. What is your guiltiest pleasure?

7. What time is bed time and getting up time?

8. How long do you spend reading blogs (per day or per week)?

Over and out!
