Yesterday was the second anniversary of this little blog. I started it after lurking and reading other blogs and was greatly encouraged to take the plunge by Judith.
The final push for me was that I wanted to start the blog before I got a year older so on the eve of my birthday I wrote my first blog post. It is nice to link the two anniversaries together.
Blogging has really given me a whole different perspective on life. I have met some fantastic folk and made some true friends. It never ceases to amaze me that we belong to a great online quilting community.
Just before Christmas, Quilt Candy left a comment to say that she was my 100th follower. The number has now crept up to 102. I think that these are good enough reasons to have a little giveaway.
I made this little bag to use as a toiletry bag and it is modelled on the Socksack pattern. I used it whilst away this week and it really worked for me. I was able to put my contact lenses case in the zippy pouch part and not have to hunt around my bag for it.
So I am going to offer up as a little giveaway…. another little drawstring bag that is made with some pretty elephant fabric and within it, is a secret zippy pouch to put little/precious things in.

Does this mean it's your birthday today?!! Happy birthday! I adore that bag - have I ever told you how much I love elephants?!! I hope you've got yourself a nice anniversary/birthday present as well as celebrating by giving away that lovely bag?! Have a lovely day xx
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog! But not on that side thingy, on Bloglovin. It says you have 86 more followers on there (and then there's Feedly, etc so you probably have twice as many as you think)! Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary and happy birthday too! I'm not sure why I didn't know it was your birthday. I've followed you since i met you and discovered how lovely you are. You are also an extremely skilled sewist so who wouldn't want to win something you'd made!

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and blogiversary - belated though they are, thought I had posted earlier but it seems not to have worked. Feb 8 is my daughter's half birthday! I don't generally broadcast it but my nickname at school was Nellie! and I can play the relevant tune on the piano! Hope to see you again sometime soon - CRQ, maybe?
