I really want to post, but I can’t think of anything to say… I was going to attempt the 5 secrets thing (expressed so well here and here), but I can’t even think of 5 secrets I’m willing to share with the world.
So maybe a few tid-bits will suffice:
1. I am not obsessive compulsive but I do have my moments. I can’t hang clothes on the line unless the colour of the pegs match. They don’t have to match the article of clothing, just each other. So 2 white pegs, 2 pink pegs, or 2 blue pegs, you get the gist. I’ve often contemplated going monochrome in my peg collection to cut down the amount of time it takes me to rummage through the peg bag to find the perfect pair, but that would take all the fun out of it.
2. The by-line on my header up there is still true. I can’t knit. Eeeek. I know I’m most ashamed to admit this as I fear a backlash from the mass of knitters out there. My Granny taught both my sister and I how to knit, but mine always ended up all tight and stuck on the needle with my hands in cramps. Then when I wanted to join Brownies my Mum told me they made you knit a square as your entrance exam so therefore I wouldn’t be able to join. I still to this day don’t know if that was true or if the cost of joining (or the uniform) was too expensive for her and just fibbed to stop me joining.
3. I’m allergic to wool (another one I fear admitting for the risk of being kicked off the internet all together). I break out in hives. So I have to wear wool over something else so it doesn’t touch my skin, or switch to acrylic. Even as a baby I couldn’t lie on the soft lambs wool baby rug. When I told a friend this she nearly cried.
4. Ummm, well you already know how no-one knows about my blog (only Mr You). Yep, nobody I know in real life. Well… due to this I’ve created an identity problem for myself. I have started a new site for my new endeavours under my real name which links to my Etsy store, this is what I have recently shared with friends and family. When they ask me how I came up with the name flossy-particles I just make up some crap about things being pretty and flossy, as I still want to protect my blog and keep it secret. But I have a mortal fear that one day someone will do a search or something, find my blog and oust it to everyone else.
5. Because of this if you buy something from my Etsy store you’ll get an email signed with my real name (which is not mentioned anywhere on this blog). It delights me that even though this happens, people still reply to me as Flossy or Alice!
I LOVE that! ...and want to thank-you for it.

you are too cute miss flossy-alice (whatever!). my mom let me join the brownies but frowned about it and told me that she didn't approve of such groups. i dropped out soon thereafter.
lovely tid-bits! my uncle came across my blog somehow and called me about it and mentioned something he had read. I wanted to vomit at the thought of a relative reading anything and actually bringing it up to me... so i won't go back and read anything over for fear of knowing what they read.. odd, i know- but i still have issues. deep issues.
From knowing you on here as flossy- it's different to associate you with your real name..for a second i'm like who? oh yeah, that lovely girl flossy P. - that's who.
Yeah, sorry about that, I should have warned you. It feels VERY wierd using my real name because I've really become flossy, and that other girl feels like an imposter.
Identity crisis all round. But i figured I'm much more comfortable with you guys finding out my real-world name (even if it's totally wierd for you), than real-world-people finding out about flossy.
(oh dear, why do I need to be so hidden? it really makes things complex)
hahaha.. great psot flossy P :)
*I'd read the entire post but i'm at work :/
Paragraph 1 got me laughin though. Matching clothe line pins??? that's hilarious... :)
