Saturday I bought the dvd of Lost in Austen, a bbc show that I had only seen snippets of when it was on. I wasn't committed with the first two episodes but by the end of the third I was there. I really enjoyed it and will definitely watch it again-minus family who ask way too many questions, as if they were interested anyway, and nit pick and couldn't follow the plot of a McDonalds commercial! Yesterday I was determined to get a bit of sewing in. I had a boys story block ready to go so got out my pile of fabrics and started cutting and sewing. I can put a tick on my to do list.
Now to the giveaway.....
On the 18th of February it will be two years since I started blogging and I have never done a proper giveaway only a 'free to good home'. I really enjoy blogging and have made some lovely blog friends. To celebrate I thought I would have a small giveaway.
Lately I seem to be only thinking of what Christmas items I can make so I will be giving away a small pack of Christmas themed goodies. A friend at work often brings me back issues of craft magazines and this lot included a Christmas edition with some great projects, I have two of them so I will include one in the giveaway. There are also some charm squares of Christmassy fabrics I have cut from my own stash and as I have finished one of my 'partridge in a pair tree' blocks I will give away the other for the winner to finish as they like.
Have a lovely week!

Hi Marina
ReplyDeleteThe boy's story is a very cute project and I love your colours - orange and blue always works for me. The stitchery as cartoons is such a clever concept.
The partridge in a pear tree block is very pretty. That check set on an angle looks so good for the tree.
Congratulations on your anniversary.
Happy Anniversary...
