SAL JHA 1905 and Giveaway

Click on the picture for a closeup view



Part 2 of Simone's SAL was released on Saturday, December 15. I quickly downloaded it and wanted to start immediately but unfortunately, as usual at this time of the year, other things got in the way and I didn't get round to stitching it up until the evening. I am really enjoying this little red sampler and it really is 'little' as I am stitching it 1*2 on walnut ink dyed 48ct Gander linen with Needlepoint Inc 505. It measures 4¾" across the top! It's not too late to join this SAL - Part 1 and, of course, Part 2 are still available although Part 1 will be removed on January 12 so don't leave it too late if you want to stitch it. The scissors are tiny black Storklettes by Kelmscott Designs.






And now for a little giveaway. This Eiffel Tower scissor fob will be given away to one of my followers as a thank you for sticking around! So please leave a comment and you are in the draw. New followers are welcome and you will get an extra chance to win if you share this on your blog - please tell me in your comment if you do this. The draw will be made on December 31 - my blog's 5th birthday. 
*THIS GIVEWAY HAS NOW CLOSED*

It's a bright sunny day but very cold; I have a dental checkup today so instead of taking the car I will walk there as it's not too far!

A win and a RAK




This morning I received a package from Simone of Atelier Soed Idee with the giveaway I won on her blog. I had a choice of colour and, as you can see, I chose red - no surprise here then! Simone has the most wonderful designs and kits for sale on her website *here* and many of her designs can be seen on her blog *here*. Simone has been designing since early 2011 and her designs are both delightful and reasonably priced. Thank you Simone for my wonderful gift.




I have also been RAKd by the lovely Elisa of Old Ragged Threads who sent me a skein of GAST thread in Cherry Wine - such a pretty shade of red. Thank you Elisa - it's much appreciated.




I though you might like to see this 'sky' picture from the back of our house late yesterday afternoon. I love to look at clouds and these were quite amazing.

Pink bunnies and black sheep!



Here is Katrina's - A Kiwi Stitching - version of Sew a Brown Bunny. As you can see Katrina changed the bunnies to pink - how sweet does this look? Stitched on 32ct coffee dyed linen with CC Bella Rosa and Eve's Leaves, Katrina finished this as a very pretty pillow. Thank you Katrina for allowing me to post this here.

Sew a Brown Bunny (or Pink Bunnies!) can still be found *here* or by clicking on the CHARTS button on the sidebar.


Edgar, our very own Blacksheep, is holding a 4th blogoversary giveaway so go *here* and wish him a happy birthday and you will have a chance of winning one of his wonderful giveaways.

Today is the Royal Wedding here in the UK. Prince William and Harry have just arrived at Westminster Abbey but no sign of the bride as yet - I wonder if she will be late? I've just finished my chores so now I'll sit down to stitch and watch the wedding on the tv as my actual invite failed to arrive!

Thanks for visiting, have a lovely weekend
Take care

Sew 'Five' ? Brown Bunnies, Sew Peaceful and a further giveaway!




Barbara of Barb's Rambling - stitching 'n things has also stitched Sew a Brown Bunny and sent me the above picture. This was Barb's first attempt at stitching on 40ct linen and didn't she do a grand job? She got carried away with her brown bunnies and so this really should now be called 'Sew Five Brown Bunnies'! The reverse has a pretty Spring green fabric embellished with a green heart button in the centre. I smiled when I saw this as my own pillow, although I backed it with the same linen I used for stitching, I stitched a green heart on the back! After Barb's hard work she RAK'd this pillow to a bunny loving friend.




I also heard from Maggee of Stitching Devotee with a picture of her finish of Sew Peaceful that she also gifted to a friend last Christmas. It's stitched on either 25 or 28ct of white Lugana using DMC threads from her stash. She tells me that her friend loved it so much she still has it hanging up in her office surrounded by Easter decals.

A big thank you to Barbara and Maggee for allowing me to post their beautiful pieces.

Both Sew a Brown Bunny and Sew Peaceful are still available *here* or by clicking on the CHARTS button on the sidebar. The 2010 Christmas freebie, Sew Red, Sew Blue and Sew autumn freebies are also still available but must be requested at checkout.





And last, but certainly not least, Amy of Cross Stitch and Cupcakes is having a most generous 3rd blogoversary giveaways. Yes I said 'giveaways' as there are five of them! First up is for a selection of Aida fabrics in various sized and some Charles Craft huck towels. The second giveaway is for a selection of linen fabrics. The third giveaway is a limited edition box and Santa kit from Mosey n Me along with three limited edition thread packs from The Gentle Art. Number 4 is a selection of pillow kits from Pine Mountain, most with their pillow forms and the final giveaway is a selection of charts from Amy's stash - some are even kitted with floss, fabric and embellishments. You can enter multiple giveaways by leaving a comment stating which numbers you are interested in. If you post a link of your blog you will also receive a second entry. You have until April 19 to enter.

There will be 3 winners and the prize will be your choice of any one iStitch Design (except for Sew Seasons). Existing followers need not enter as you will be entered automatically. If you are a follower of both iStitch and iStitch Designs you will entered twice.

I won!




Back in mid-December I was fortunate enough to win a giveaway from Barbara of To Stitch or Not to Stitch and just before the holiday I received not only the above goodies but others too. A cross-stitched bag, perfect for those small projects, a pair of crochet slippers, a chart with fabric and threads and lots of other bits. Thank you Barbara for your generosity.

The model for Sew Lavender is finished and I need to take a picture before it's release but the light is so bad as it's been raining for days. This, in turn, has brought on my SAD and I feel so low. Will the sun ever shine again? Will I ever sit in the garden with my stitching or a book? At least I have the AEF in Paris to look forward to - only 5 weeks to go and Kirby and I will be there - we are a little excited - can you tell?

I am going to work on Jane Rees later today - thank heaven for Ottlites and magnifiers!

We have a winner ...



... of the Christmas beaded scissor fob. Lisa of Lisa's Stitching Addiction name was drawn out and the fob will be on it's way to her shortly. I hope she enjoys it. My blogoversary is coming up on New Year's Eve so I have be having another giveaway really soon so don't forget to keep visiting.

Sew Golden is stitched but I am deciding on how best to finish it. Shall I just frame it or make it into a needle roll? Decisions, decisions. It might be a little fiddly to do as a needleroll as it's stitched on 55ct Gander linen so I will think about this a little more.

Thanks for visiting
Take care
