My First Blog Award!!!

well, i was awarded my first blog award!



The Kreativ Blogger Award!!!!

this was awarded to me by Helen, aka "myheartexposed" owner and moderator of the Knifty Knitter Loom Knitting Group on Yahoo. it's a great group and i suggest any loom knitter check it out!

helen said: "I am giving this award to Lilly because I admire the way she is not afraid to share her mistakes, ask for help then celebrate with everyone when she fixes them. Her loom knitting and loom knitting videos are very inspiring, her hair blog is just ace so well written and funny at times too. Caring for an afro is not an easy job to do but Lilly manages to come up with lots of creative ways to do just that, for this reason I feel her hair blog deserved a special mention and the award too."

thank you soooo much helen! this means a lot to me!

The rules of the "KreativBlogger Award" are to list seven things I love and then pass it on to another seven KreativBloggers. so here's my list!!

1. UNICORNS!!!! i'm ga-ga over them! i have two tattoos of unicorns on my forearms and countless figurines, statues, posters, and various wall mounts of them! i bought this $300 Waterford Crystal figurine of a unicorn. too beautiful

2. reading, mostly sci-fi fantasy and romance

3. sleeping. i can knock out 12 hours easy!

4. my locs

5.my sister Tasha, who also my very best friend. and my boyfriend Sean

6. my car, a 2007 toyota yaris liftback in bright red! i always wanted a red car, and i finally got it two years ago, brand new, off the lot with 6 miles on it!!

7. brown and gray. its my favorite colors for clothing, as boring as that sounds!


so, on to my nominations!

1. i'm gonna cheat a bit and nominate my sister. she doesn't have a written blog, but a youtube channel, Goldpurse. she has an afro the size of the sun and she shares tips and trick she uses with her natural hair. and she encourages all the sistas to embrace their natural nappy hair!

2. my friend emily and her Great Expectations blog. emily's blog just underwent a new CUSTOM look! she got me all jealous! and she's been blogging faithfully since she was preagnant with her first child, which i find VERY commendable, since i go for months between posts sometimes!

3. Robin at Rockin' The Loom. Robin is a member of many of the loom groups i frequent and she's also the teacher of the loom knitting newbies classroom. Robin is one of the only people who gave me the courage to attempt cables on a loom thanks to her 26 page tutorial!!! and thats a pretty BIG feat!! LOL!

4.isela phelps aka Purling Sprite. the mother of loom knitting tuturials. we would be lost without you!!!

5.miss kumina and her hair blog. i love her spirit and the fun way she writes! and she's recently ventured out into the youtube world, too!

6.ms. ofoprince and her loc blog over at pizco. she also has a blogger blog, too. she is a wealth of information!!!!

7. and finally, another cheat, to Supreme Dejhan, another youtuber. this woman had shared her journey of the road from meat eater, to vegatarian, to vegan. her vlogs are so personable and i really feel like i'm watching a close friend or family member when i follow her posts.
