I've been tagged...A little about me!

You're it! I've been tagged by the lovely KL from eternalicons. This is a game I haven't done before so I thought I'd have a go!


The Rules:

1. Post eleven fun facts about yourself on the blog post.
2. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and then create eleven new questions to ask the people you've tagged.
3. Tag eleven people and link them on your post
4. Let them know you've tagged them!
Some fun (or probably just a little bit boring) facts about me!
1. I am a born and bred Townsville local (luckily for me though I have travelled a lot).
2. I love clothes, and particularly shoes. I have about 30 pairs of high heels now, ranging in colours from cobalt blue to baby pink to charcoal.
3. Apart from shoes, everyone likes to joke about how many chairs and sofas I buy. I tend to pick up unloved armchairs, dining chairs, benches, stools and ottomans to re-upholster and fix up. In my little house I don't really have anywhere to keep them all.
4. I love to read, but avoid it unless I'm on holidays. Once I start reading I can't stop and tend to ignore the entire world around me!
5. My 21st present from my Dad was a trip to Morocco (best present ever right?).

Does anyone like Moroccan ottomans?!

6. I have two pups that rule the house and are allowed to sleep on all my furniture, even the freshly upholstered chairs! :)
7. I am half-Scottish (from Mum) but have yet to learn anything about my heritage or Scotland itself (it's on the list).
8. I used to like lego because I could create two-dimensional floor plans and furniture. I would only play with them for around an hour, before pulling it apart and building a new house.
9. I'm a list writer, although I usually lose the list before I cross much off. Then I write another one.
10. I've had lots of pets growing up including a couple of snakes, a native Australian mouse, puppies, kittens, chickens, cockatoos, fish, cockatiels and a horse.
11. I love to cook, especially anything Italian, beautiful salads and desserts. My favourite at the moment is a lemon-lime tart.

Answering my extra questions
1. What is the number one thing on your 'bucket list'? For me, it's probably always a never-ending list of travel destinations. At the moment highest on the list are Italy, Croatia, Eastern Europe and Turkey. Hmm and an ongoing goal is always the growth of my business, so I guess a major bucket list item would be to get a project in a magazine!

2. What would you choose as your last meal? Jamie Oliver's lemon-lime tart!

Get the recipe here. It's amazing!

3. What is your favourite drink (either Alcoholic or non)? Mojitos.

4. What is the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? Deep fried grasshoppers in Thailand.

5.What's your favourite holiday destination? Morocco is amazing. If you haven't been, make sure you do! Laos is also a beautiful country with friendly people, amazing sights, incredible handicraft and an amazing relaxed atmosphere.

6. What are you most proud of? Starting Ethos Design! It was a scary decision that meant spending money I didn't really have, and learning to put myself out there, but I love my job!

7. Where is your favourite place to shop? Etsy. I love that website.

8. Do you collect anything? Chairs, vases, vintage lamps and cushions, so many cushions. And shoes.

9. Are you an early bird or a night owl? Definately an early bird (although not too early). By 8.30pm I can't concentrate on anything and just want to go to bed!

10. Have you ever been told you look like someone famous? Who? I've had a few but not sure I agree with any of them....Keira Knightley, Mischa Barton and Quinn from Glee!

11. What is your favorite quality about yourself? My creativity I think. I love making art, I love designing and I love coming up with creative solutions to problems.
Phew, now everyone knows way too much about me! My turn to tag some others...
I'd love to know the following about you...
1. If you could have dinner with anybody, who would you choose?
2. What's your favourite cocktail/wine/mocktail?
3. If you could have any job in the world, apart from your current job, what would you be?
4. If you could change your name what would you change it to?
5. Are you a summer or winter person?
6. Are you a saver or a spender?
7. If you could live in any era (i.e. 40s, 60s etc) what would you choose?
8. What's one place you want to visit before you die?
9. If you were an animal, what would you be and why?
10. Name your favourite colour.
11. What's your favourite blog at the moment?

Gosh, that was a lot of work! Hope you enjoyed learning a little more about me, and I'm looking forward to knowing some of you a bit better as well :)
