I've been beavering away lately making this blockholder.
I do like making these; I think it's because they are practical, pretty and achievable.

I've also been thinking about celebrating...Since I have been blogging I have passed special milestones like first post, 10th post, 50th post, 100 post (and so on), I've also had 1st blog birthday, 2nd blog birthday; 1st follower, 100 followers - and all these have passed by without a celebration...
This month is my birthday month so I have decided that NOW is the time to celebrate!!!
So without further ado, I introduce to you, my FIRST EVER giveaway!!!
If you would like to win this Block holder, carefully designed and crafted by moi, just leave a comment on this post. You do need to be a follower (old or new) and of course you need to be contactable (ie not a no-reply commenter).
I'm happy to post to anywhere in blogland. I'll keep this open until 31st July.
[And because I've got so many patterns and ideas from others in blogland, I will have the pattern for this available for you to download - probably next week when I have finshed writing up the instructions and have worked out properly how to do the google.doc thing! I'll let you know when that happens :-) ]
Thanks for joining me in my celebrations!! Happy stitching,
Congratulations on all your milestones and hope you had a great birthday too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous giveaway Raewyn. Thank you. It would be great to win and if not maybe I can make one.....
