Tag post, I haz it
Hi, cats.
We got tagged by Anca in a challenge to answer questions she made up + to invent others and pay it forward to more beautiful people. So here goes, but first we need to state out the rules:
1. Post the rules.
2. Post a photo of yourself and 11 random things - I'd say that the 11 things part can be optional.
3. Answer the questions set for you in the original post.
4. Create 11 new questions and tag people to answer them.
5. Go to their blog/twitter and tell them you’ve tagged them.
And here are the questions I answered:
1. What's your favorite dish, that you can cook/make?
I could eat pasta with mostly every known vegetable combo, day + night.
2. If you had to pick a color that best represents your personality, what would it be?
I love all colors, can't choose one.
3. Where is your dream holiday destination?
Maybe Jamaica or an island somewhere. Climbing the mountains sounds awesome too, in fact every holiday can be a dream holiday.
4. What's your guilty pleasure book?
Paulo Coelho books. Yep, I know.
5. If you were a superhero, what name would you choose for yourself?
I already chose: it's Kittn!
6. What's your number one item you never leave the house without?
I guess practical stuff like phone, key, wallet, etc.
7. What was your first job?
I had a summer job in a Latino disco in the year 1999. I worked as a bartender, not as a dancer f.y.i.
8. If you had a time machine, where is the first place you would go?
This reminds me of an old notebook with questions we used to pass on from one to another in the primary school - my answer to this question would be (then and now) nothing, I would live the present.
9. What's your favorite clothing item/accessory?
Here at Kittn we think the t-shirt is the most comfortable and versatile piece, but we also love dresses a lot, although we almost have none. Both dresses and t-shirts.
10. What is your all time favorite fairytale/children story?
I must admit I don't have, I was more likely to invent one.
11.What's your favorite movie/TV show villain?
Oh, this is a tough one. It took five minutes too think... I used to watch a cartoon series named Hello Sandy Bell, a long time ago. In this story the villain was another girl, Kitty who chased Sandy trying to stop her from achieving her dreams, when in fact it turned out Kitty was too a good person who just needed a bit of attention.
I hope you enjoyed it, and now for the questions I tag I heart colorz, Cinnamon, Miss Babacilu, The dreamer, and Sydney, but you are free to take the assignment if you feel like:
1. What would you write on the front of your T-shirt?
2. How about on its back?
3. Tell me three things that make you smile.
4. Did you smile already?
5. What is your favorite hobby?
6. One thing you would change about yourself?
7. One thing you would change about the world?
8. Do you believe in magic?
9. Which is your favorite season + how does it make you feel?
10. Write three words that describe your room.
11. Which is your favorite desert?

The year of change
Thing-a-day is coming to an end this year. For the last day I finished ducky T-shirts, prepared parcels for Post and sent them to our wonderful friends. Instead of taking stock of the new things I created this month or having remorse about what they should have looked like, how could I make them better, etc (nothing should have been, things just are what they are) I am just happy I took part and played.
Along with posting about our crafting this month I was inspired to do stuff that was always postponed be it as simple as walking to the nearest store and buying that lipstick or getting rid of some old clothes + other objects that cluttered.
As every end is just a beginning, an open door to something else, things seem to always connect and I believe nothing is by chance, I found another challenge (for another 30 days) yesterday. Cool, huh? Here you can read more about it.
So I'm going to do something for 30 days in order to create a habit. The purpose is to create a positive change in myself and inherently in the world.
I look within me and I can't tell exactly who I am or what determined me to choose this path. Instead, I look at my son and I feel I want to be a better person (for him, for the world, for the future).
For next month I choose to speak from the heart + speak the truth (13. Don't tell a single lie for 30 days), to work on a dream everyday and make it reality (17. Define one long term goal and work on it for an hour every day) and exercise (22. Exercise for 30 minutes every day for 30 days).
Before leaving, here's a short story about what happened today at the post office. When we were going away I wished the lady at the counter a happy spring and she corrected me by showing on the calendar the first day is March, 20 (Spring equinox). I replied that spring is here (and I put my hand on my heart) whenever we want to . She became emotional and smiled a lot, accepting the change.
So I'm wishing you a delightful spring too, with lots of positive changes. And hugs!
