Hi peeps! First of all, I would like to thank Erin (erinandsky.com) for her nomination! If you haven’t already, check out her blog, she is super talented and always has links to nerdy/cute/awesome/all of the above crochet patterns. If you don’t crochet yourself, she also has an Etsy shop where she sells her crochet items!
Now, onto the rules.
The rules are as follows:
- Thank the person that nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
- List the rules.
- Display the award on your post of the award.
- List seven facts about yourself.
- Nominate 15 bloggers for this award and comment on one of their posts to let them know you have nominated them.
- I am French, although I have been living in Australia for over 4 year. Most of the time, people can tell I have an accent but they can’t actually guess where I’m from.
- I love food. Savoury, sweet, spicy, even bitter, I love all of it. The only food items I don’t like are the ones that, in my opinion, have no taste (like cucumbers).
- Although I actually like the taste of it, I cannot eat barramundi. It’s an Australian/South East Asian fish that is very popular in Australia. The only issue is that I work on them (or more exactly on the bacterial diseases they can get) and I’ve had to kill so many of them that I just really can’t have them on my plate anymore.
- I am currently doing a PhD in fish immunology. I need to be pretty focused and strict while doing my experiments and that’s what pushed me to start crocheting/knitting/cross-stitching as a way for me to relax at the end of stressful days. That’s also why I really love writing this blog and meeting all of you.
- I play the harp. Not the small celtic harp, the huge concert one, with the pedals and all. I still havent been able to transport my harp to Australia (it’s really expensive) and I really miss it but I get to play every time I visit my parents.
- I absolutely adore Nutella! (I know still food related!) I have not only 1, but 2 books dedicated to only Nutella recipes, I make Nutella pizzas, Nutella crepes, and my favourite is the ‘Love me at first bite’ doughnut from ‘Doughnut Time’, you’ve guessed it, it’s FULL OF NUTELLA!!!!! (sorry I’m getting so excited over food 🙂 )
- I am an absolute nerd and I love it! I can spend hours upon hours playing Pokemon on my 3DS, we have games night every week, I’ve watched the Lord of the Rings movies in extended version the one after the other a few times, read the Harry Potter books so many times I can’t even count and the list goes on!
So that’s me!
And my nominees are:

Make sure you check out their blogs, they are all amazing people 🙂
Until next time!

thank you for the nomination Emma – I didn’t realise you were French!
I have a similar thing in my life – English and living in France for 30 years – people know I’m not French because I still have an accent after all that time.

You’re very welcome I really enjoy reading your blog 🙂 and yes, I think that the accent never truly disappears! Although my parents say I have an Australian accent when I speak French now? Who knows!

Thanks Emma! I think that it’s amazing that you play the harp. How unique! I also have a Nutella addiction. I’ll have to snag some recipes from you. 🙂

Oh thanks! It is pretty rare I don’t know many people who play the harp. And no worries for the recipes, I will translate a share a few soon 🙂

Thank you so much! I had NO IDEA you played the harp or were getting your PhD! You’re multitalented FOR SURE. 🙂

Thanks, you’re so nice! 😊 I get easily bored so I need to keep busy all the time! The funny thing is that the more I do, the more I feel I can do more on top of everything else (don’t know if that really makes sense). I need to stop myself though otherwise I would be exhausted all the time and I couldn’t spend time with loved ones.

I’m amused to find out that there are cookbooks dedicated to Nutella recipes. Must get my hands on those! Or … maybe not 😛
