I drink strong coffee every morning (though I like sugar with mine) and I got several A's...thought not in art...I was never that interested in the projects we did there.

Random Thoughts said...

I like Prince. I've used celery and potatoes to make 'art' prints. Art was and is my favorite outlet I only wish I had pursued it as a career...now I just enjoy making dresses for my granddaughter, crochet, photography, you name it! CreativeEndeavors on Facebook!

Julie said...

I enjoyed plenty of wine at my wedding too.

juliehallfeldhaus said...

Gotta have my coffee in the morning too!!!! Love the fabric sure hope I'm Lucky!!!

Sara said...

We are both from the Midwest. I'm from WI! Love #2 btw how fun, what a rebel!

Jessica said...

I love the White Stripes. I was married three months after my 21st birthday. It was pretty close to me not being old enough to drink. Although I don't really care to drink and didn't actually drink at my wedding at all.

Sarah said...

Well, I got an A -- not for printing fabric, but for lots of other things! Other than that... nothing, except a total LOVE of her fabrics. :) sarah@forrussia.org

Kimberly said...

I share number 8. I was 19 when I got married. We celebrate 18 years of marriage this coming Sunday!

Unknown said...

I love the Black Keys and like Radiohead and Jack White, but need cream in my coffee. Also I have a large and slightly unkempt piece of land with lots of flowers.

Jane Coombs said...

As a child, I fantasized about changing the date of my birthday which is December 22. I figured the most perfect day was July 31...still summer with the next day being the realization that school would be starting soon. My first daughter was born that day at 11:20 p.m. It was hot as well.

Unknown said...

I got a few A's in school :) Thank you for hosting the giveaway. weitay at gmail dot com

I once made wrapping paper from a roll of newsprint and a potato stamp! And when my daughter was born on June 29th, it seemed like it was the hottest day ever.

lynn brock said...

I use my iPod for running too, but with different tunes. I also had lots of wine on my wedding day in 1982 (still married to the same DH).

Deb said...

Very interesting...but I don't think I fit in with anything on her list except getting an A in a subject. I've never heard of any of those music people, don't drink coffee or wine, but, yes, definitely LOVE her fabrics! :)

jessi said...

I'm a big fan of Jack White too!

babiesdoc said...

I need coffee but, usually a latte very hot and strong coffee.
I got lots of As in school but, never in art.

I don't have anything in common with that list except I have gotten an A before. Not in art, though. :)

RoseAndCons said...

Well, let's see... I don't like black coffee, I'm not much of a drinker. Hmmm...I guess I got an A at some point during my school years, lol.

Susan said...

I knew 1/2 of these Anna Maria facts but I did not know she was born in Chicago! I was too, but on one of the colder days of the year. I also enjoyed plenty of wine at my wedding. I like my coffee dark, strong and hot. Alas, I only dream of being an amazing fabric designer.
Rock on Anna Maria.

We have the same birthday. How wonderful. I also love to sew and cherish each one of your new bright and colorful collections, so much so that I am making my granddaughter new clothes from samples of your past collections. Waste not, want not. Continue your amazing creativity and design.
