Phew and now for the tagged bit. Sherry at My Mother's Daughter tagged me a while back and I've been very tardy (sorry Sherry - have to blame the Dino family for my delay!) And I hate to admit it but I'm not sure I have eight things for all the categories - so I'm going to do my best and some are really lacking.
Eight things I say a lot:
"Sorry"
"My knitting is really annoying me"
"Behave Bernie"
"Are you the most beautiful dog in the world?"
"No - Mummy's toys" to do the dog who constantly tries to run off with my balls of yarn
"Hello, How was school?" to my husband who comes home from work late a lot
"Yum - Diet Coke"
"Sure" I like to agree to go along with everything ... well most things ... when it suits me of course ;-)
Eight books I have read lately: (ugh I'm so uncultured)
I'm terrible - I haven't read any books lately - I listen to NPR pretty constantly and I was recently introduced to 'The Runaway Bunny' - do kids books count? - which is more than adorable - and do craft books count? because I'm constantly pouring over craft books ...
Eight movies I have seen at least 8 times: (eek - I can only think of 3)
Love Actually
The Notebook
Stardust
Eight things I am working on: (much easier)
Baby quilts
Baby knitted blanket - it has cute duckies on it
Reusable Christmas Sacks
Rachael Rabbit tales
Trying to say 'sorry' less
Getting the weeds out of my vegetable patch
Perfecting a cotton bunny pattern
Trying to organize and perhaps give away (shame on me) some of my material stash ....
I actually could add so much more to this list ;-)

Congratulations on your award, and thanks for the meme - it's always interesting to find out more about the person behind the blog.
Take care. x
well done on your bloggy award!, and thank you for thinking of me. i'm like you, the only books i read nowadays are the kids story books and craft books, i love flicking through a crafty book last thing at night before lights out : )
Huzzah! for your bloggy award - your original and creative work is so very deserving! And thank you for thinking of me - glad I don't have to think of 8 books I've read lately- eeek.... it's a bit hard to combine mummy, hausfrau, stitcher, blogger AND reader. Both Abby and I are looking forward to Rachael Rabbit Tales! :-)
How ridiculous to be able to only list 8 things that one is working on .... now eighty might work better for me! Congrats on the award!
congrats on your award, I try to read at least a couple of pages of a book a night but generally end up falling asleep :-0
