Not as tiny as you want but getting there 50cm! I will make you one soon, one my list of things to do :)
DeleteIsle of Skye, the remoteness, simplicity and the landscape. Just resonates with us somehow...but the reality may be different, maybe a house swap one day because were we are 5min from the beach is also a home of my dreams too! x
I was going to say something about your new macrame and then saw the rest of the post! Awww DANG!!! I like like your answers though.
ReplyDeleteI hope your pleased and will join in? :)
DeleteWhat a sweet little hanger! I love your answers too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dana x
DeleteI am really glad you don't smoke anymore Pippa x
ReplyDeleteMe too, nasty habit! Think of all the money I have saved to buy twine xx
DeletePretty in Pink! And I read Gone With the Wind many times.
ReplyDeleteHow can you not! Mr Butler can put his boots under my bed any day! :)
DeleteGreat list Pippa! and I love your little macrame piece too :) I gave up smoking 9 months ago now! How funny that it's such a guilty secret to admit to this ;) Kx
ReplyDeleteWe gave up so that's something to be proud of! :)
DeleteI think I prefer the other things we have in common though?
There are so many levels I could relate to you on Pippa ;O)
ReplyDeleteTania xx
Right back at you, this blogging community creates such a sisterhood :)
DeleteLovely to learn more about you Pippa ... and the mini macrame is just lovely ... Bee xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Bee and thanks for the blog love ! :)
DeleteLoved reading your random facts! I used to live in Scotland and Mr Hello Olive and I still talk about moving back. If only the summers were warmer... :-) x
ReplyDeleteYes I too would miss the Aussie summer but the romance of Scotland is deep rooted!
DeleteCan I come live with you guys on Skye? Please?!? No, seriously, going to those windswept isles up there, the Hebrides, the Orkneys, Shetland and the Faroe islands has always been my dream too. I guess that comes from gazing out on the North sea, wondering what's on the other side. My husband and kids are not at all interested so I decided I'll take my dad to the Orkneys! We are very much alike in that respect, we'll take in the gorgeous scenery and the archaeology. We might do it this spring. If you go on that Denmark and Norway tour, you have to let me know:-)
ReplyDeleteThank you sooo much again, sweet Pippa, for awarding me the Liebster! It's gonna be so much fun:-)
My pleasure! ....and I would never step foot on your fair land without hooking up a thrift session or two with you! Bloggers law! :)
DeleteLove the idea of following the kids, we could just drop little snippets in over tea, they would think we had divine powers! Well deserved award! :) x
