Giveaway time! ;-)


Good morning everyone!

South Devon has snow...not a lot but half an inch is better than nothing, eh ?









So there's only one thing for it...
Hit the craft room!
Which is...



...in a terrible mess!




But I found a small space at which to work and I made a start on these, earlier.
Needle and thread cases...more later as they are still in production.


And at the same time I was eyeing up this Liberty fabric and wondering how to use it wisely!



Meanwhile, I have loads of fabric (as I used to have a fabric shop on ebay) and yesterday I made some colourful fabric patchwork packs which are half price and for sale here:
And.... I always put in a 'freebie' with purchases!! ;-) ;-)



And that's not all...

I have made up one pack, as above, for a 'giveaway'...all you have to do is comment on this post!

Have fun but take care!

;-)

  6. How lovely to have a your kitchen look out on the garden! Something on my 'must have' in our next house should we ever move ;-)

    We are thick with snow here this morning and the schools are closed.

    I would love to enter your giveaway please.

    Have a fabulous day in your craft room!

  7. Hi, Sal,

    We even have snow in mild Torbay. The 'palm' trees look a little wilted! Cars unable to get up our Close ... makes for wonderful spectator viewing from our sitting room window as they try and then give up ... the best place is indoors unless you have to go out. Have put food and water out for the birds, though ... we should all do this and help the little blighters through this cold spell, but taking care not to fall over and hurt ourselves in the process.
    Please include me in the patchwork draw! I love fabrics and they might inspire this non-needlewoman to 'have a go'!

  8. Who knew the grey skies could provide such nice pictures of snow?

    I cannot resist this tempting offer. Hopefully this first giveaway in 2010 is going to be a good one for me, ha!

  9. The gardens look so pretty with a dusting of snow, don't they? Unfortunately, we've had a load more this morning, so I didn't risk taking the car out - so kids at home today. I've become so nervous about driving in snow since my bump!

    I would love to enter your giveaway ... and I'm off to have a browse in your shop!

  14. Hello,thanks for dropping by!
    The layout of your kitchen is EXACTLY the same as mine...except I don't have a butler sink or lovely creamy cupboards.Mine are pine,but you have inspired me to paint them this year.
    Enjoy the snowy days and all your crafting.

  21. Glad to see your "pinkness" coming to the fore again, Sal. We can do with all the pinkness we can get up here with a foot of snow in a very white world. Happy sewing - am just off up to my sewing too.

  22. Happy new year. Your snow looks lovely. We have about a foot and a half and apparently more this evening. I don't remember having such a lot of snow in a really, really long time.
    I'm loving your hard work, such lovely pretties. I'd love to be entered.

  27. Hello Sal
    Wow your garden looks amazing even if that is only and inch of snow - so beautiful!
    Sounds like you have been busy in the craft room - unfortunately I cannot claim the same, having had a very lazy snow-day.
    Take care you too!

  28. I love the picture of your kitchen, it is just how I imagine my dream kitchen will look one day. Snow is looking gorgeous isn't it? The Boys school was about the only one that didn't close, but once we'd trudged down there this morning they said he didn't have to stay, if we didn't want, so of course, we were out of there and off to play in the snow. Loving the snow days, and would love to be entered into your giveaway too, such lovely lovlies, am sure it would really inspire my crafting x

  29. Lovely snow pictures, Sal - isn't it lovely to have snow at last down here? We've really enjoyed it today, but worrying a little about it all freezing tonight, and hoping the roads will be OK tomorrow.

  31. Lovely snow! I love snow days!

  34. We've got lots of snow on the Wirral too. My school is closed so I've got a few bonus days to forget about the day job. Bliss!
    I've just got a new sewing machine for Christmas (and haven't used one since I was at school myself) I plan to learn how to make beautiful things as soon as possible. I'd love to be included in your giveaway.

  44. Ah, but such a carnival-coloured mess!
    So you didn't get much snow in S.Devon? So why is my friend telling me she's snowed in? She has a 4x4 as well. I think she just doesn't want to come home yet!
    Nice to know the crafting has begun. When I can find my sewing machine under all the junk, I might start too! xx

  45. Hi Sue, wow what a lot of lovely comments. I loved the pictures of your garden. w
    We too have plenty of snow, which is unusual as we don't normally get much living so close to London. I hate it (don't do anything cold!)but the kids love it. Take care. Sue x

  46. Lovely, snowy pictures. My son has only spent 3 hours at school this week and there's no school again tomorrow. He and his friends are in total bliss, sledging in the park, totally oblivious to the cold. Love to be entered in the giveaway please.
