The Winner!

And we have a winner for the giveaway! Congrats to Rachel Crisman from Mississippi, USA!

To relax, she drinks tea, listens to the Beatles or takes long walk in the evenings. I've never been there, but I bet the evenings are lovely in Mississippi. She'll be receiving her moth on a lovely cord to hang in her home.

A big Thank You to everyone who participated!

Summer Giveaway

I'm back from a holiday in Spain, feeling rejuvenated, energetic and motivated...but also determined to take regular breaks to disconnect and relax and in the long run be more productive, I hope!

Now's the perfect time for summer giveaway!

Here's your chance to win a white linen moth, brooch or ornament, you choose. This is one moth, with either a metallic brooch clasp on the back, OR with a pretty white cord attached so that you can hang it in your home.

• To enter, just leave a comment and tell me what you do to relax, I'd love to hear. Don't forget to leave an e-mail address where I can contact you should you win, and your preference for brooch or ornament!

• Or, you can become a fan and leave a message on facebook:

• The winner will be selected in a random drawing on Friday, August 6.

Hawthornethreads

I was thinking about getting some fabric for my seven-year-old niece for Christmas. She's beginning to sew and I've already sent her some of my scraps, but I wanted some new pieces, something to inspire her. Well, just last week I received an e-mail from hawthornethreads

informing me that they have set up a new website full of gorgeous fabrics. I had bought from their etsy shop, and I can vouch for their excellent communication and fast shipping too!

How about a bundle of fat quarters? The one above is Holiday Magic Fat Quarter Bundle in Light.

This one is the Deer Valley Charm Pack...imagine the adorable things little hands could make with these. Tiny doll clothes, collages, gift tags, and so much else. There is an extensive choice of fabrics at Hawthornethreads, and I haven't decided what to get for Sarah. In the meantime, I've registered for their giveaway. You can register here.
