A Winner

Well I am back, a little later than expected but back anyway.  Sorry for the delay, I hurt my back yesterday and my only thought was pain management.

Now we only had 2 commenters on the Traveling Treasures Giveaway

Creations.1/ & Cheryll.

This is what they were playing for

 

So I have to draw a winner. There wasn't much of an ask for Mr Random Number Generator so I tossed a coin.

Heads = Creative .1

Tails = Cheryll

 That is Tails.  So  CONGRATULATIONS CHERYLL.  I will email you for your snail mail address.

Thank you both Cheryll and Creations.1, I appreciate your entries.  For anyone else who is interested in Travelling Treasurers, watch Cheryll's blog for information on when she will pass it on.

Helloooooooooooooo Anyone out there

Hello, is anyone out there??

My stats say you have visited my page for the GIVEAWAY but you have not entered.  Any reason why??

At this stage it will be quite an easy draw with only one comment.

If you think you want to go back and have another look.  HERE  it is.

Good luck to whoever wins.  And if there is only one comment, well that will save Mr Random Number generator a job. 

You have until 7pm Monday night 8th July 2013.

A travelling Giveaway

Earlier this month I was the lucky winner of the Travelling Treasurers Giveaway by Jenny of Elefantz posted about here.

This parcel was started by Debbie from Sweet Little Cottage and I was the 4th person to have the 'Treasure' visit them.

 

When the parcel arrived at my place from Jenny of Elefantz, it contained these treasures

A piece of handkerchief linen, 2 lovely patterns, a set of 3 flower buttons, a gumboots fat quarter, a Christmas panel and some cute Christmas trim

 I decided to keep the Handkerchief Linen, Christmas trim a sewing pocket pattern and the cute gumboot fabric.

 I have replaced this with a 

"Kit in a Card" Treadle sewing machine stitchery kit; 

2m of cotton lace

a fat quarter of French General fabric.

 

so when you pop it with what I left in the parcel

A Christmas panel, a Jenny of Elefantz pattern and a set of 3 flower buttons

 You get this yummy looking stash.

This photo below is what the next person will receive as their Travelling Treasure.

 NOW FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS

Good Luck and share the love with your friends.

My head is in a whirl and I am missing sewing

Well I mentioned I am in a whirl.

We are buying OUR FIRST HOME

and it is finally unconditional, so as of 12 July this lovely house will be ours

 

So I have not managed much sewing.

I did finish a few fiddly tasks though.

This ugly chair belongs to the Special Education Unit at our school

 It needed some washable covers, so after sitting on my sewing table waiting for  a strap, here they are.

Flowers on the snow

 and frogs on the pond

 they are a happy and practical solution.

Next a fun "lets just see' project to do on Tuesday nights at craft.

Check out all the quilts on board HMAS Toowoomba - Aussie Hero quilts. How cool

and another Tshirt transformation for my T.

Pop back in the next 24 hours.  I am hosting a Travelling Treasures giveaway and I will tell you how to enter.
