Give it away…

Posted on by

Well, I promised to say a textile style thank you for getting me to 100 followers and now (omg) 10,000 hits…here it is. There’s some  Rowan fabric (about a metre), a FQ of some quirky japanese black cat fabric, about 2 metres of pompom trim, ricrac (of course), velvet ribbons and some coordinating thread and tapestry wool. They all go together should you be minded to make one thing from them. Id love to see what you come up with. Especially the little cats. Love those cats.

The giveaway is open to those of you who are  following this blog or my Twitter account AND who post a comment here completing the following statement…

life’s too short to….

The giveaway will close in a week’s time, 9pm UK time 5th March 2012. I’ll pick the winner out of a hat to make iT fair. I’m not going to publicise the giveaway. It’s aimed at existing followers as promised. Thanks again. Please join in, or I’ll feel VERY daft!

Thank you for the niggles

I know I’m swimming at the shallow end of the gene pool but sometimes you have to count your blessings. The early death of a colleague, a mother and wife is today’s catalyst. How sad that loss is what is needed to give you that necessary jolt. That spark to look up, out and over the day’s mundanity. At least I’ve GOT mundanity. I’m thankful for the niggles, the moaning, the childish arguments. They are part of life after all and that’s the best thing we have.

I’ve had a tetchy morning but by God I’m glad I’ve got that chance. All my prayers go to my friend and her family. RIP.
