WOYWW and 'twixt Christmas/New Year give away!

Good morning all!
Scruffy here again!!
Yahoo - the snow has all gone so Twiglet is going to see her poorly little sister Wipso today.
She has left me here, on her table,  guarding her Turkish Delight and browsing some of her crafty Christmas gifts. I don't know what she will be making- I just hope she will share some of the 101 buns if she makes any from that little baking book.
The lace and crochet looks fab doesn't it - Ooo and that little owl notebook - I bet she will have ago at some like that  - she loves owls.
I think she wants to make some little boxes too - I guess that's why she has opened out that folded card so that she can design some of her own.
I have heard that she also had a new sock doll book, so I am hoping she will make some new friends for me! I bet she will have lots more to show you in the New Year.
Well, if she doesn't come back soon, I will be tempted to take a bite out of that chocolate - do you think she will notice?


Oh, I nearly forgot to tell you...
Twiglet says if you are a follower and leave a comment below, she will put your name in the draw for another of her little brooches.

Sister's Crafty Creations will be having a New Year Celebration next week I think, so keep an eye out for that too!!!


Have a great day everyone - now where is this Mr Linky on Julia's blog - I think I have to click something to join in the WOYWW fun... Here I go.......

WOYWW just before Christmas!


Here I am, little Scruffy, sitting on the work table, covered in snowflakes, waiting.
I am not sure what I am waiting for but, whatever it is, it's happening on Saturday.
Twiglet popped me on this shiny silver paper with the cosy little fingerless mitts she has just finished making. You know.....she just chopped up a jumper and before I could say "Jack Frost" she had whizzed them up!
I wish she had finished that hot water bottle cover 'cos I could do with that to sit on.
Thank goodness, I cut my little Christmas tree down early. It's grim outside at the moment.
Just look at the frost and snow on those trees.
Twiglet has been feeding some very hungry birds this week.
She has even made me a mince pie or two!

Well, I think I shall go and decorate my tree ready for "the big day"!
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone
and here's hoping 2011 will be a brilliant, happy and healthy New Year for you all!!

Brooch give-away result!!

Thanks to all my followers - old and new - who joined in my first Christmas give-away!

I popped all the names in a dish and picked out the winner........
Hope you like the view too!!
 
 
 
 
 
And the winner is..........
 
Jude

 

Congratulations Jude and I notice you were one of the early birds on Wednesday too.
So, if you send me your name and address, I will pop it in the post asap.




We have snow again today and its pretty grim. The view below should look like the one on my header!!!
Oh well - the shortest day in 4 days time - hopefully we will have seen the last of the snow and can look forward to Spring (ever the optimist)!
And just to prove me wrong, as I was finishing this post and pulling the name from the dish, the sun began to shine and the whole world is a nicer place!!!!

WOYWW give away!

Happy Wednesday everyone!
Another cold and wintry one I fear so, to cheer everyone up, I have two things to share with you.

Firstly, on the left is one of my brooches.
It's about 3 inches across and combines red and black fabrics, finished off with a metallic button.
It's my little pre-Christmas giveaway for one of my lucky followers!!

So dear followers, if you would like it, just leave a comment to say so below, and I will pick a name from the hat on Friday.

Update........Give-away now drawn!

I might do another little giveaway next Wednesday so don't forget to pop back and see if you have won this one and sign up for the next!

Now below you can see a little group of my Christmas robin cards.
They are only little fabric collages, but I think they look quite sweet don't you?


Just a short post this week - everyone will be far too busy to read a long one.

I hope I manage to visit a few of your blogs this week - it's so lovely to see what you are all up to - especially all the wonderfully creative Christmas cards you have to show! So, I shall pop over to Julia's blog often, over the next few days and check you all out! Have a great week!
