and the winner is...

Early morning.  Must make lunches for school - must unload dishwasher to get rid of this breakfast stuff...

No, must rush to the computer to print out the names for the draw and fold them them up wee small so that the kids can pick one this morning!  Son refuses to get up.  Daughter a little grumpy when asked to stick her hand in the bowl....

But then relents, because she is a lovely child at heart....

Can you see it yet?  Son staggers into the room in the midst of the excitement...he is completely at sea with all this and is only concerned with convincing me that hot chocolate would make a nutritional breakfast!

Thanks for pandering to your mother's morning whimsies - job well done, YOU deserve that hot chocolate!


Here it is.

Lovely Veerle from ne vous installez pas!  You must check out her blog, she has an amazing way with crochet and necklaces, among other things...Thanks all of you for commenting and now I'm sorry you all didn't win.

I just couldn't resist - perhaps next time I'll use the random number generator to minimize the drama.

Last day...

This is the last day to enter my celebration giveaway!  Can you tell I'm excited because it's my first? Three more beady type things have jumped into the bag as I clean off my desk for the start of the week - a star with a cutout, a kind of amulet with a mysterious tile and another transfer bead.  So, please do enter by posting a comment on this blog entry here:

 My last fall day for painting exterior woodwork as it will be rainy for the next few days - oh joy!

 

Time waits for noone, nor does a giveaway...

It's been a while - and I do apologise!  I had the best of intentions when September started.  It's certainly been a busy month and, most exciting for me, I reached 150 sales in my Etsy shop!  Time management remains a problem, especially as I have the project of painting the house to complete before winter sets in completely (notice how I cleverly don't give myself an actual deadline?  Clever, that...)  The hours with the brush in hand also let ideas roll (somewhat frustratingly) through my head.

To get to the point - to celebrate 150 sales, I am having a little giveaway here!   Just comment on this blog before the end of next Monday, October 18 and I'll enter you for the draw for these lovely orphans.  (Please, they need a home!)  They include (among others) a flat fly bead,  3 new ruffle beads, assorted other transfer beads and a leafy pod thing.  On Tuesday morning next, I'll write your names on bits of paper and get my kids to do the deed!

I'll be back tommorow to tell you about a new project I'm involved in, and to post some new work!  Really, truly!
