WINNER !!

OK, the winner of this month's FREEBIE was originally number 22. Comment number 22 was left by somebody who didn't leave any contact details and I am therefore unable to contact them regarding the prize.

This is the 2nd time this has happened, so please be warned. If you don't leave any contact details and your number comes up, then you'll lose the prize. Them's the rules. Sorry !!

So, I redrew the number and number 7 came out. Comment number 7 was left by Lisa Marie of Cake it or leaf it ! (and they are mighty fine chocolate chip cookies on your latest blog post Lisa Marie !)

Hurrah !! I'll send you a little email and if you could let me have your address details, we'll get your prize straight out to you.

Sorry to everyone else and in particular the original winner who has sadly lost the prize this time. Our next FREEBIE will be up for grabs on 1st August.

Right - next up a little bit of housekeeping. If you're wanting to stock up on any of our goodies in time for the school holidays, please do it NOW ! We'll be closed from 12 noon on Wednesday 13th July until Tuesday 26th July (inclusive), which means that no orders will be processed or dispatched within this time. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

See you again soon !!

And the winners are ....

So sorry for the late announcement of the winners of the FREEBIE GIVEAWAY ! I wanted to give everyone the best possible chance of entering and so closed the FREEBIE at 12 midnight.

So, without further ado - I popped all of the numbers, a massive 49 in total, into the random number generator website I found on Google (http://www.random.org/) and it produced the following numbers:

12 - which I believe was a comment from Claire Mackaness

and

18 - which was a comment from another Clare, of Weekend Crafter

Well done ladies - I will email you to get your address details and your Goody Bags will be on their way to you very soon !

Sorry to all those of you who didn't win this time but the next monthly FREEBIE will be up for grabs on 1st March. Same thing, you'll need to leave a comment on that particular post once it is published and the winner will be picked a week later.

Now - what to offer ?! You'll just have to wait and see

Thank you to EVERYONE who took the time and trouble to leave a comment on the Freebie Giveaway post - I was overwhelmed by the response.

Have a lovely weekend everyone

And the winner is ...

Cooper's Nanny !! Although she didn't leave a comment on my blog (I don't think she could work out how to do it !!), she did leave one on my website, so I included her in the draw anyway !! So, CONGRATULATIONS !! Can you email me your address and I'll get a keyring out to you asap.

ASAP means "when my new felting needles arrive" !! Last night I managed to snap my fine felting needle in 2 :0( and didn't have a spare ... so my needle felting has had to go on hold for a few days. But I will get the keyring out to you asap Cooper's Nanny !

Actually, after having such a good week last week, it rapidly went downhill. First, I picked up my new sewing machine - I was SO excited !! The lady showed me how it all worked, but we couldn't work out how to wind the thread onto the bobbin, so I thought, not too bad, I'm sure the instruction manual will tell me. WRONG !! Mum looked at the machine as well because she also has a Singer machine, and it would appear that the the bobbin winder bit is broken :0( So now I have to drag the machine into town, leave it at the shop for goodness knows how long and lose all my enthusiasm. But it's a cute little machine anyway (and it's pink .. my fav colour !!)

Then last night I broke my felting needle and then at lunchtime today, I noticed that the wall under the window where the french doors are was soaking wet and the wallpaper was peeling off !!!! I can't believe it - we looked outside to see where the rain was coming in, but there was nothing immediately obvious. We can only think that there is a gap somewhere around the window frame and the rain came in through there. What a pain !! We were going to get the windows replaced soon - but only the front as we can't afford to get the whole lot done in one go, but maybe we'll have to get the back ones done instead now. I knew we should have bought a brand new house ... a 250 year old house is going to get problems, let's just hope it is the window and nothing more serious.
At least with my felting needle broken I managed to get the fliers / leaflets for the craft fair done. I'm really pleased with them actually and will have a stack on them on the table and also put one in every bag (presuming I do actually sell some stuff !)

I managed to get the crocheted beads onto the bottom of the baby mobile today and also bound the embroidery hoop (which the flowers will hang from) in some lovely ribbon I bought whilst on holiday. So all I need to do now is attach the actual hangy flower bits to the hoop and it'll be all done (thank goodness !) I'll post a picture soon.

Tonight I shall be making felt corsages from the recycled felted jumpers I got when I was on holiday - again, I'll post some pics soon.

I'm also thinking of doing some fabric covered buttons (I've seen some really great retro fabrics that would look great on buttons), but I don't know whether these would sell - I'd really appreciate your comments on this particular point.

That's it for now ... it's the children's bathtime, so I'm off !!

Don't forget - I need your thoughts on fabric covered buttons !!
