It's time to have a Giveaway to celebrate the publishing of my 100th design.
(More about this occasion here.)
I have a little parcel of goodies as a prize:
There's this pretty satchel which I showed you a few weeks ago:
a little embroidered felt pincushion and matching scissor-keep:
and some fabric from the Rue St Germaine range - approx 60 x 2½ inch squares and 20 x 5 inch charm squares:
Entry is simple. This is a giveaway for anyone who is a follower of my blog. Just leave a comment at the end of this post to go into the draw. Entries will close at midnight Saturday 2nd March (Australian time).

Also, my apologies if your comment can't be seen! I accidentally pressed the wrong button and more than 40 comments have not been published! However, be assured I have them all still and you have been entered in the giveaway, even though you can't see them below!.

I didn't ever get round to showing you another of my projects - a 4 inch fabric box called "For a Rainy Day". It features two of my favourite design elements - applique and roses:
It's in Embroidery and Cross Stitch Magazine, Vol 20 No 7. That's it in the centre of the bottom row:
I have always loved umbrellas:
especially when they are filled with silk ribbon and grub roses:
I think this is my favourite side:
Last week didn't turn out as planned so there wasn't much stitching done. However, I did get my skates on and prepared the patterns for two of my designs that I have shown you before. They are both now available for purchase on the website.
Buckets of Love:
This is my Country:
They can both be found on the wall-hanging page.
I had to see a Specialist on Friday for my annual check-up. Thankfully, everything was fine. In our conversation he wanted to know what I do to keep busy in my retirement. The outcome is that I now have official medical sanction for my craft addiction! He told me to keep doing it as it is good for my health! LOVE IT!
I had better finish before I am tempted to put any more photos in this post!
Happy stitching!
Val
