Greetings lovely friends & readers
Longtime readers of my blog will know that from time to time The Mr sends little "funnies" which just randomly arrive in my inbox. This one below greeted me this morning ............
I have had such a wonderful response to my Giveaway last week - thank you to all of you who are taking part - that I have decided to add in a (slightly smaller) 2nd Prize Draw as it seemed unfair to just gift one package away. I have absolutely LoVed reading all your comments & hearing about your favorite season & why. I have so enjoyed each & every single comment - those that had trouble commenting have emailed me & I have been able to copy/paste your entries. I have not replied to comments on the blog post as I plan to give each comment a number & then The Mr will draw the number out. The comments are coming through to my inbox but everyone is coming in as a "no-reply blogger" so I can only reply to the ones whose emails I currently have. So please - I am not ignoring you - I just need to sort this issue out with blogger. (& goodness knows how long that will take!!)
For the 2nd Prize Package I have embellished another waffle weave tea towel with beautiful Tilda fabric in "ginger rabbits & roses" - one of my faves. I have included more Harney teas & a gorgeous handmade (but not by me) Rose & Geranium soap.
Also I have made another Soy Candle in this miniature stoneware crock - the fragrance is Sweet Mandarin & Lime - honestly friends, my spare bedroom smells so fresh with this beautiful fragrance wafting around.
If you have already entered then you don't need to enter again - you will just have two chances at two Winter Care Packages instead of one. If you have not entered then you have until June 30th to do so but go back to my original Giveaway Post Here to leave your comment. Again - I will post anywhere in the world. Just comment telling me your favorite season & why. I must tell you dear friends - Autumn is out in front by a VeRy long way 😉
The dish cloth knitting continues & though I am slow, I really enjoy it. This was a new pattern I came across that I thought I would try. It is called Chinese Waves Dishcloth & is a free download * here * at Maggies Rags.
Miss Pippi hates my Tuesdays-with-Sid. Every Tuesday morning when she sees me bring out the dinosaur toys & the matchbox cars she gets her sour face on real good. Although Sid takes no notice of her, she acts like she's traumatised all day long & does some really naughty things. Last week I found her in my fabric basket up high on my sewing shelves. I told her she was in the wrong colour basket & sorry there was no "ginger basket" for her.

I watched her consider the "reds" basket, have a bit of a think & then decide that the window view from the "greens" basket suited her better. When she moves on from this latest place I shall have to gently wash all the top fabrics in my "greens" basket to remove the ginger hairs 😐
Just yesterday I finished this sweet little Tilda Rabbit for a friend's daughter. She is made using some of my treasured Tilda Woodland fabric & I have knitted the wee jersey in some leftover dishcloth cotton called "blush".
I found this dainty little rabbit charm in my stash so I threaded it around her neck.
There is just one small teeny tiny problem with this Order ...............
Now that she is finished ...... I can't actually bear to part with her 😟 Look how perfect she looks sitting beside the Tilda Angel from my dear friend Claire. 💕
I may have to make another one ....................
Wishing you all a most wonderful weekend dear friends,
It's a wet grey Waikato day here today & I am very thankful for more firewood delivered yesterday.
Thank You so much, as always, for your visits here today,
With much love & friendship to you all,
Julie & the furry ones x0x0x
