Blog Bash!

1.) Why do you blog?

I blog because sometimes I feel like I need an outlet to say what I need to say. I also LOVE the awesome blogger buddies I've made. There are some seriously wonderful lady bloggers out there and it's a wonderful community!

2.) What do you blog about?

I blog about anything that inspires me:) I also love to share the crafts I've been working on.

3.) What do you find to be the biggest reward you get from blogging?

I just love meeting new people! I also like it because it helps me keep friends and family updated on what I've been up to:)

4.) How long have you been blogging?

I guess I've been blogging for about a year now? Not totally sure! Time flies!

5.) Let's hear the story behind your blog title! :)

There's not much of a story behind the title. It's what I called my Etsy shop, and I really just came up with it :) I wanted the name to be something about stitching, of course, and I think the word Savvy is fun!

Why I Love Kentucky

This past weekend I finally got some much-needed nature therapy. Doesn't it always seem like all of your troubles slip away when you go outside and enjoy God's creation? It does for me. Because I live here, I often take for granted the beauty that is Western Kentucky. I somehow manage to go months on end without appreciating the surrounding nature. On Saturday, I was able to get outdoors and enjoy this amazing farm.

7 acres...Yes, 7 acres, of sunflowers. One word: Amazing.

This is my mom's boyfriend, Niki. He's possibly one of the sweetest men I've ever met, and I hope he sticks around:) He's a good fisherman, too. Caught this fish in approximately 2 minutes flat. Yea, yea, we're all very impressed! haha! No, really, I am. You should see his cast. It's like precision perfect.

Niki manages this farm, which is so cool. What a job. We get to go back this weekend. I'm super excited:)

Favorite Bible Verses

Today I'm joining Kelly's Korner's Show Us Your Life. The theme is Favorite Bible Verses.

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Luke 12:6-7

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34

Worrying is pretty much my M.O., so when I start to worry, I remember these verses.

What are your favorites?

The questions...

1. What do you look forward to the most on the 4th of July?

Hmm. This is a tough one. I think I most look forward to spending time with family, eating lots of junk food and watching fireworks. I don't get into fireworks anymore like I used to, but it's still a staple, so in that, I am a fan.

2. Are you a hugger?

I am absolutely not a hugger. I really don't like being touched at all between the hips and shoulders. This is what it boils down to, I think. I do love hugging my husband, and family who I haven't seen in awhile, but other than that, I hate it. My mom says that even as a baby I didn't like to be snuggled. How sad for her!

3. What is your favorite BBQ'd food?

Being from the South, and of the 'perfect melancholy' personality trait, I questioned what this question even means. What is BBQ'd food? Does this mean grilled? Smoked? What? When I think "BBQ'd" I think BBQ. As in pork. Because I'm from the South. BBQ is a staple here. So I'll go with BBQ. Okay, we've beat this horse long enough.

4. Do you like to watch parades?

Does anyone over the age of 7 like to watch parades? Really? Even when I was a kid, I only liked parades for the candy and the drumline.

5. Who has stinkier farts..boys or girls?

Girls don't fart. {Who wrote this question?}

6. Vampires or Werewolves?

I would have originally said vampires, but I now must say werewolves after reading and watching the Twilight series. Jacob is amazing. That's all I need to say.

7. Do you read your horoscope?

No. I don't believe in that kind of thing, though I do believe there is some truth to the astrological signs thing.

8. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

I really don't have a favorite, per se. I have several favorites, depending on my mood--chocolate, vanilla, anything with chocolate added, and peanut butter.
