100 not out !!

Yep - this is my 100th post !! I can't believe it - although, had I not been so lazy lately I would have reached it a whole lot sooner, but I'm here now !

Last week I received a lovely new shipment of hand painted ceramic buttons

A restock of some of my most popular sellers, but also a few new designs which I hope you'll love just as much as I do.

I've also just received this new book - a must for all would be felters and needle felters - £12.99 available for sale through my shop and I'll throw in a little bag of felt balls for free too on every purchase of this book and the "Felt so Good" book by Betz White.

Next week I'll hopefully be receiving a complete restock of felt balls, along with 40 (yes, 40) different colours of wool roving.

So, back to the 100th post - to celebrate I'm giving away this lovely, lovely bag/purse - handmade in Nepal and it's an exclusive too ! You won't see anyone else with one of these beauties (well, you'd better not !)

The bag/purse itself measures approximately 7.5" X 5" and the plaited wool handle measures aproximately 58" end to end, so it's perfect to be worn messenger style across your body. Completely made of 100% wool felt, and fully lined, the colour is what I'd call dark cerise (the first picture is the closest match colourwise)

So, if you'd like to be entered into the draw to win this bag, all you need to do is leave a comment on this post by midnight on Saturday, and on Sunday either my little man or little miss will draw a winner.

No excuses now - I know there are a LOT of lurkers on this blog - I've seen you all on my little map (bottom right of the blog), so this is your chance to make yourself known and be in with a chance of winning a lovely bag.

So get posting and I'll see you on Sunday

50 today !!!

Hiya


Well, this is my 50th post and I can't quite believe that I've managed to rack up that many. I have to say that I'm finding blogging quite addictive !

I've met so many lovely people through blogging - people I would probably never have met in the "real" world. So thank-you to all of you lovely people who read my blog on a regular basis and to all those of you who take the time to leave lovely comments, who I chat with via email and send me lovely pressies and that I count as friends. THANK YOU !!

So, hands up who wants to try and win a freebie??

Well, as a celebration of my 50th post I've decided to give away a freebie. BUT, I'm afraid you'll have to work for it !! I have decided to try and drum up some new business via Google Adwords (seeing as I can't get anywhere near the first couple of pages). But what I need some help with is keywords.

For those of you who don't know about Adwords, basically it's a pay-per-click system whereby I specify a maximum cost per click that I'm prepared to pay Google everytime someone types in one of my keywords and then clicks on my website link.

So, what I need you lovely lot to do is provide me with a list of keywords that you might type in if you were looking for my website (not Picture it in Stitches obviously) but anything you might type in if you were looking for something specific to do with my site. I've got a basic list, but it would be great to hear other ideas and suggestions. After all - lots of heads are always better than one !

Anyone that leaves a list of keywords for me (doesn't matter how many) will be entered into the draw and I'll pick a winner on Sunday evening. The lucky winner will receive a needle-felting set which will consist of either a purse or pencil case (your choice), a choice of 3 colours of felting wools (again, your choice), a felting pad and needle. So, if you fancy giving needle-felting a go (and I think everyone should try it !!) .... for FREE ... then you know what you need to do !

Can't wait to hear from you all.
