Blog Your Heart Out

Fab blogger Swazi at Chocolate is Not The Only Fruit has tagged me in this meme, Blog Your Heart Out, a way to share a bit of information about me and my blog. All I have to do is to answer some simple questions! So here goes:

Who/What encouraged you to start blogging?

I had actually had several blogs before I started this one but this is the only one that I've stuck at for a reasonable amount of time. I was probably originally encouraged by my sister Anna and her blog Beep Beep. I also read a few big US blogs which inspired me at the time although they did set the standard rather high. The only UK blog that I had ever discovered was Red Ted Art after seeing it featured in Tesco magazine, so I was a bit taken aback when a couple of months in I discovered the UK blogging community and realised how huge it was!

How did you choose what topics to blog about?

I just write naturally about the things that interest me and the things that I get up to, the things that I've made. I knew that the blog would have a crafty focus because that's what I'm interested in. I deliberately chose a name for my blog that didn't include the word Mummy or make any reference to my family size, because I hoped that it would be something that I would continue, and I wanted it to be future proof. Although my other blogs didn't last long, I really wanted Jennifer's Little World to be something that I'd continue with, and so far it has!

What is something most people don't know about you?

It's difficult to find something about me that hasn't already been shared on my blog! Um....two of my teeth are the wrong way round, I have a swapped canine and a molar on one side of my mouth. It just happened that way when I had a tooth removed and a brace when I was younger and I didn't think anything of it, but now whenever I see a new dentist they are fascinated by it, one even called his assistant in to have a look!

What three words describe your style?

My blogging style? Crafty, chatty, and rambling!

What do you love to do when you're not blogging?

I love reading, all sorts of crafts (at the moment mainly cross stitch, I'm re-discovering knitting, Hama beads...), organising the house, swimming, going on days out with the family, travelling, watching films with my husband and eating pizza.

I'm terrible at tagging people in these things, but if you are reading this and would like to take part please do consider yourself tagged!
