I've been tagged for a few memes. How do you pronounce meme anyway? Is it mem or me me or meem or what?
this one is from Susan at chickenfoot
The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

I'm here. Recently found your blog, but can't recall how....oh maybe someone who was making scrap blocks had a link to your blog. I'm not very good at getting links into my blog - still learning in my old age. Don't know how to pronounce meme and have never attempted one on my blog. I enjoy reading others' answers though.Sometimes amusing. I understand your down time; I struggle with that myself. I read books when I can't muster up energy to fondle fabric. Just finished Alan Alda's 2nd book and love this quote from him...."What if the Hokey-Pokey really IS what it's all about?" love, Love LOVE your scrap quilts. Have 2 bins ready to do same - one cottons, one fancies. Now to find the energy-all is being expended on setting up my 2 room studio these days. My blog is gettingtocrazy.blogspot.com - check it out - it may inspire you!
I can totally realte to the search for balance...finding spots for everything. Enjoy the blog and the many many quilts!!
Hi! Good to hear from you again! And yes, I'm still here :-) Even in the world of blogging, you should be allowed to have some time to yourself!
The meme is fun. Great answers... Did you tag anyone?
what you were only gone 16 days. if it were 16 weeks or months then we'd start to worry! :D
I can't wait to see what you are making or have made!
I went fabric shopping today! Squeeee!!!
ok mrs.excitement, i found your meme interesting...i too have wondered how you say it. where does the word come from, is it like me me, all about me?? boy the blogging gods must be smiling on me, two linkies in one post! thanks for doing the meme, and i cant wait to see what you are doing there....could it be a house???
I know what you're going through with the funk. I seem to hit one at least once a month... oh wait.. maybe that's something else...
Did you see my letters? I'm trying to catch up to you and your amazing quilting prowess.
Balance is tough. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I love finding out a bit more about my blogger pals. Looks like it's going to be a cute mini!
Hi, still here. I completely understand about hitting a funk. Happens all too frequently. Hope you're over it soon and having a great time. It's meem, btw.
Funks happen to us all and we all need a break once in a while!!!
Glad to have met you and call you a friend!!!!! You definitely inspire me!!!!
I can be the funkiest at times, so I know what you mean.
I have read that this happens to all creative people. it is a way for our mind/soul to sit and percolate.
Often after an extended down period we come up with the very best ideas.
I pronouce it memmmmmmmm but I'm sure thats wrong! LOL Good to see you back in blogland. Bring on the mini quilt swap I say!
