Giveaway!

 As i have mentiond a few times lately, i've been busy making some gifts for a giveaway to say thank you to all my lovely blog readers .............i have made four gifts so there will be four winners this time......
........inspired by my rosy lavender quilt, i used some of the left over fabrics to make some pretty little sewing notions....the first giveaway gift is the needlebook above...............
............the second gift is a big pincushion ......and some little extra surprises too............
...........the third gift is a scissor keep and this sweet pair of lavender blue handled scissors too.....
 .........and the fourth gift is a small pincushion and a card of cath kidston buttons...............
...........to enter this giveaway all you have to do is to leave me a comment on this post :)....the giveaway is open to everyone, even if you don't have a blog, anywhere in the world................just make sure there is a way for me to get in touch with you if you win and don't have a blog  :) .............each gift will have a hand made tag with it too like the ones below.........you could give your gift away to a crafty friend or keep it for yourself...............
......................i picked these rosy lavender coloured flowers from the garden yesterday................
..............my favourite flower this week is the gorgeous japanese anemone, both the pink and the white ones are flowering really well here at the moment, and i must remember to put more plants in for next year because they look so lovely and are obviously happy with the location so are worth adding to............
 .........the sweetpeas are still gorgeous too, and we are having a sunny bank holiday weekend  (though not too sure it will last for monday!) .............my younger daughter and her boyfriend are staying with us this weekend which is always fun ..............i am just going to make some afternoon tea now :)
.............i hope you have a happy week ahead, with bright flowers, crafty times and sunny days...........good luck in the giveaway............back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  13. Good morning,

    My Japanese anemones are doing well too..I love them and they do so well in a bouquet. I know people complain about them spreading, but I don't mind..I would like a few more.
    Your giveaways are all divine.
    My English Breakfast is brewing as I start my day here in Victoria BC Canada.
    Happy Sunday! I hope your sun stays for Monday (we've lost that lovely summer sun we enjoyed yesterday to cooler and overcast skies today)I bought a lot of quilting fabric yesterday at an estate sale and when I had it out to dry after washing, it dried in no time!(Plus everything always smells better when it's hung out on the line)That won't happen today as I wash the remainder.

    Dear Helen, after following your blog for some time now, and having read ALL your posts, I have returned to the things I love best, such as knitting, quilting and crochet. You have truly inspired me!This has been a great comfort in the recent almost unbearable loss of my youngest daughter. I cannot express how much your blog has meant to me, except that it has literally been 'life changing' and I thank you for that,
