Wow, this was fun! Thank you all for participating and most of all for your warm and kind comments… I’m over the moon with the response.
As it is a special celebration I decided to make 3 people happy :) Here are the lucky winners…

The Autumn pattern plus the extra’s goes to Hilda.

Also receiving the Autumn patterns are Nela and Lauren.
I will be contacting the winners for the address details shortly. Congratulations!

Thank you… you are all so kind to me… time is just going so fast!
September is already in the 3rd week and my new webset is still not finished. I’m at the stage of finalising the last details and the wordpress version. I’m so looking forward to my days off… starting at Sunday so that I can finish it :)
Because things are going so slow I will extend the celebration into the month of October. On my days off I will have time to put together some fun draws and extra’s…
Here’s a little peek…

Only two days left for the celebration give-away!

We visited another farmers show last tuesday, the Kilnsey show. This time we needed a raincoat and wellies. There is a craft competition in various categories… I’m contemplating to enter my work next year, that is if I’m brave enough :)
I’m working on a new webset, I hoped to have it finished at the start of september but it takes a bit longer… just beacuse I’m such a perfectionist and I can only offer it when I am 100% happy with it.
The new webset is progressing and it won’t take much longer. I can reveal that the name of the set is Homespun Hearts and it’s all about (needle)crafting. There is a premier of a new character… petals daughter! I have no name for her yet… mmmm… maybe you have some idea’s?
I am extending the 6 year anniversary give-away for another week, meaning that it will end on Saturday 19th. If you want to enter leave a comment at the celebration-give-away post.
And as if I have enough to do I started painting again. It has been a long time and I so enjoy my watercolours and pens… I will show some of my work when it’s finished.
Have to run know or else I’m too late for work….

Here is the result of ‘n afternoon fun creating a fabric pumpkin. No sewing machine needed just a needle and thread, fabric, felt, a stalk and some natural twine. Simple :)
The dried pumpkins in the picture are for an autumn wreath I’m planning to create later.
Note: I’m not the clever one :) The idea for the easy fabric pumpkin came from a tutorial at Mommiedaze
