Hello dear ladies!
I haven't been catapulted into outer space but have been here all the while trying to make all the different pieces of my life fit together in such a way that I can manage it all.
I'm so sorry for neglecting you all and, as way of an apology (and to celebrate my first blogging anniversary) I am having a giveaway.
These are some pretty little items that I found in my local Fair Trade shop. There is a lovely little purse - useful for storing stitchmarkers and such, a little owl wrist pin cushion and a sweet little measuring tape. Oh and this gorgeous (hard to part with!) bag....a make up bag, odds and ends bag...whatever you want to use it for.
Anyway, all you have to do to win these items is leave a comment...you know how these things work!
On the craft front, not much has been happening but I have finally finished the baby quilt I started ages ago. This was the fabric...
....post soon on this.
Before I go, something that made me laugh out loud in the street the other day.....
conversation with boy walking to school.
Boy: So are you feeling better now, Mum?
Me: What do you mean?
Boy: Since you had your testicles removed
Me: I think you mean appendix
Boy: Ah yes, appendix.
Enjoy your weekend! xxx
Kids and the things they say can be so funny. This morning my daughter said is that my appetite ( about her foot!) we were talking about the length of feet!

ReplyDeleteHi Andrea - I do pop in from time to time although I've never commented before. Does that give me eligibility to enter your giveaway? ;) And I am in Australia so maybe I'm too far away too....oh well!

ReplyDeleteHi Andrea, good to see you back!
ReplyDeleteIt is so difficult keeping up with blogging as it takes up so much precious time not only publishing posts but keeping up with visiting - i have been very lax of late.
Hope you are well, and congratulations on your Blogiversary!
I would love the chance to win your lovely giveaway so please count me in.
Look forward to seeing the completed quilt, the fabrics are lovely.
