And The Winner Is...


... With a slight delay I am happy to announce I have a winner for the two quilt patterns from the SMS giveaway. Since the temporary computer I am using doesn't seem to possess something as modern as a screen grab button I have resorted to taking a photo of the computer screen with my phone to show you my Mr RNG selection.


Number 14 would be MB from MI, and I have sent an email to you already, and shall get the patterns in the post soon after hearing back from you.

A huge thank you to everyone that entered to win. Thank you for stopping by and participating in the fun that is the SMS Giveaway Day.

Meanwhile, Christmas creeps ever closer. We got our tree this weekend. I found a gentleman with a small holding on the other side of our village who was selling Christmas trees. He only cut or dug up the ones people picked, which we really liked. So we spent an hour there will the girls argued the relative merits of different trees. All good fun. Today, the decorations have been going up.

This year's tree is dedicated to a decade of handmade Christmas tree ornaments by the girls, starting with the ones they made in playgroup way back when.


They still remember each and every one and go looking for them in the boxes. They are an essential part of our Christmas tree. So, long live every toilet tube, old CD, glitter paint covered one of them.

  15. Aren't those ornaments precious - and so beautiful knowing each one was made with such excitement. I have a box of those made by my sons when they were young and I love putting them on the tree.
