A winner...

Just a quickie to let you know the winner of my giveaway is....

 

Crafty Helen

 

My work colleague chose the winner the old fashioned way, by picking a folded up piece of paper with a name on!

Helen is a big lover of Christmas (I can't wait for her Christmas posts!) so I'm sure she'll make good use of her prize.

Congratulations Helen, all this and more is on its way to you

Thanks to everyone who entered - I wish you all could have won!

WOYWW 177 (and a Giveaway)

Yes, this really is the state of my desk!

I'm not a tidy crafter as you can see, I have so many ideas buzzing around I can't possibly waste time tidying as I go!! I'm off to the Meet and Make evening session later so will be taking some of this lot with me.

And as you can see here I've spilled over on to the chair with my mess

The rest of the room is pretty bad too but there's a limit to how much mess I can show in one post!

If you're wondering why I'm showing you my very messy desk then pop over here and all will become clear.

 

I am having a giveaway to celebrate my 100th post (which was actually 8 posts ago), if you'd like to enter click  here.

Thanks for visiting,

 and thanks to everyone who visited my desk last week. Apologies for the late visits to some of your desks.

My Weekend

My weekend was spent working and then cutting, stamping and sewing.

I've decided the only way I can be organised enough to get everything ready in time for the craft fair is to concentrate on one 'product' at a time. This weeks project is brooches. Here they are in the green box ready to have the brooch pins attatched and then backed. I'll probably do this at the Meet and Make evening session on Wednesday.

I've had this gorgeous stamp set for a few weeks now and have been itching to use it. I thought I'd indulge myself and make something for me. Isn't that stag a handsome beast?

See here for a christmassy giveaway.

 

Thanks for visiting.

Fancy a Giveaway?! NOW CLOSED

I planned to celebrate my 100th post with a giveaway and collected some bits together. Then, as it often does 'real life' got in the way and here we are at my 106th post! Due to the contents, I either had to do the giveaway anyway or wait until next year. I didn't ever think I'd get to 100 posts for sure, and there have been times when I had no inspiration or motivation to blog.

But, I can't tell you how much I love getting your comments and knowing that people actually choose to read my blog!

So here it is my 106th post celebration!

There will be more, some surprises and some things that I forgot to add to the photo shoot. As this giveaway is to celebrate my blog and show how much I appreciate you all I'd like you to be a follower to join in, but I'm happy for you to become a follower so that you can join in - in fact, I'd love to have you!

Just leave me a comment to enter and I will choose a winner on the 1st November.

Thanks for visiting.

Have a great week.

And the Winner is (Thrifty Chic)...

Lunch Lady Jan!

Congratulations - I'll be in touch for your address.

Thanks to everyone who entered, I'll be having some more book giveaways so come back soon.

WOYWW - What's On Your Desk Wednesday 151

Blogger won't let me upload the picture of my (very, very) tidy desk!

Not much on my desk today anyway, I've not been in a crafting mood the last few days. I tidied my desk at the weekend to put off doing a dressmaking task I knew was going to be fiddly (and I was right - I had to unpick three times before I was satisfied!!)

These are the only two photos Blogger will let me upload today!

The thing I get the most comments about are these tiny shelves, they are thimble display units that I've painted, and are just the right size for my vintage cotton reels. I have several more (unpainted) storing more vintage cotton reels in my Craft Cupboard(!).
Sorry it's not a very picture friendly post, I'd love to have shown you my tidied desk (it won't be like that next week!!).

I'm having a giveaway this week, the book Thrifty Chic.
If you'd like to enter see the previous post.
I'll post outside the UK, so don't let living outside of the UK put you off!

Thanks for visiting and to everyone who visited and left a comment last week.

I love WOYWW, it's such great fun snooping around everyone's work spaces. If you'd like to join in the snoop visit here, you won't be disappointed!

Book Giveaway - Thrifty Chic (Now ended)

This weeks giveaway is one of my favourite interiors books - Thrifty Chic. If you like Selina Lake's Homespun Style (and I know many of you do, rightly so) you'll like this!

As before, if you leave a comment, already are or become a follower you get two entries. It is fine to join in if you don't want to become a follower, you will just get one entry instead of two.

This week I'd like you to let me know what you describe your interiors style as.

Good Luck!
