Post Number 200 and a Surprise Giveaway

This is my 200th post since joining the world of stitching bloggers.
As a thankyou to all of you who have been so encouraging and inspirational during that time I am offering a surprise giveaway. No snaps - I did say surprise :-)

If you would like to be in the draw please leave a comment on this post and on Wednesday 12 August at 7pm local time my "half deaf half blind" elderly Mother will draw one name.


Currently I am stitching on the Quaker RR organised by Edgar - I am loving my choice of Bleeding Heart red and the antique mocha fabric and this is a pleasure stitch. I also have the threads and fabric organised for the Gingerbread Cookie Ornament, a freebie from Victoria Sampler.


It has been a fine weekend here so I was out in the garden digging and getting everything ready for Spring planting. My harvest of broccli and silverbeet made the work so worthwhile and I still have the broadbeans and leeks to come. Next I will plant more broccli, some capsicums, red beet, basil, lettuce greens and perhaps some radishes. Yes, Spring is in the air and Summer is just around the corner.


Have a good week everybody.
