The title of my blog

I am witing this post in English, because I accept an invitation from an Australian quilter, Dawn from Adelaide. She herself has a blog entitled "As sweet as cinnamon", which illustrates her favourite atmosphere and subjects. She invites other bloggers to enter the titles of their blogs into a list and explain in a small post on their own blogs, why they have chosen that title.
My blog is called "A few of my favourite things", because I write about my quilting, cooking, gardening, dogs and my being a grandmother. Those are really the ruling passions of my life.
When you look at the the title photo of my blog, you see me, early one morning in my nightie reading the paper, with my two dogs, Jan and Jaap, at my feet. I am sitting in my own Wisteria Lane, illustrating easy living, but I am not a desperate housewife.
