Well, as promised I'm back with a little giveaway to celebrate the New Year and my increasing number of followers. I've got one of my rolls of lovely recycled fabrics cut mostly from old shirts in pretty Summery colours. The strips are all 4" wide and various lengths, so you could use them to make a quilt or cushions, bags, whatever you fancy. I'll also add some buttons and a sweet smelling lavender bag.
Just leave a comment on this post if you want to enter and I will draw a winner next Sunday (9th) lunchtime. Open to all and I will post anywhere in the world.
Good luck!
I hope you all had a good break and are feeling ready to tackle 2012. I'm glad last year is over to be honest. There were too many ups and downs, dramas and hospital visits in my family for my liking. I've got a feeling this year is going to be better.
Some years we use the week after Christmas to make a start on tidying the veg plot but due to the dismal weather I haven't ventured much further than a triangle between bed, sofa and kitchen! I've been exploring Pinterest Here a lot and thinking it might be useful for keeping a note of the veg I grow each year. I always forget to note the varieties and think I'll remember but this seems like a neat way to do it.
I dug out all the catalogues and a blank plan for 2012 and got busy with the post-it notes. It's always more fun planning than actually planting and weeding it all!
Also got this sweet little bird house for Christmas which needs fixing up somewhere before the birds start nesting in the spring.
Hopefully I'll be back to more regular blogging once I'm over this lazy lull
Best wishes for 2012
