Rose Cuff - The Giveaway

Cast your minds all the way back to Wednesday. Yep this Wednesday. Wednesday, two days ago.

Anyway, way back on Wednesday I posted a wee tute on making one of these absolutely gorgeous (even if I do say so my own self) rose cuffs.


You do remember! Brilliant, well that makes everything all the easier then. Happy days.

Anyway, I also mentioned that I'd be giving away the cuff I made for that tutorial on Friday and given that this is Friday here comes the very difficult, jumping through hoops process of actually entering said giveaway.

All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning this stunning (modest, aren't I) cuff is leave me a comment answering the following question ...

Are you ready?

Prepare yourself now!

Deep breath.

Right, here we go ...

Chocolate or Cake?


I like both if I'm honest and I don't particularly mind if you do too.

I'll pick a number out of the hat that is Random.org next Friday (8th Oct) and get this sumptuous little baby in the post to the winner as quickly as my knackered little legs will carry me.

As with all my giveaways only individuals currently residing in any country on Earth are eligible for entry. So that rules out a few of you;)

You know who you are.

Runner up

After entering the Folksy Blog Badge Competition, I'm pleased to say that I was a runner up with this entry.


You can check out all the winners here and will soon be able to show your love for Folksy by grabbing one of the new badges here.

I just wanted to say a big congratulations to all the winners and runners up and a big thank you for Folksy for having the competition and MOO for my lovely prize of 100 mini moo cards.

The hardly the weather for it giveaway

UPDATE - I've picked a name from the hat that is random.org and it picked ........... comment no: 9.

Which is Blue Box Studio with:

Home made 'lemonade' - juice 3 lemons, add some of the zest as well. I'm a meany so for extra zing I also add the pulp from the lemon squeezer (without pips!). Add an equal amount of water. Chill till needed. Then I use about 1" in a tumbler, topped with a decent fizzy lemonade from the supermarket but soda water, tonic or still water works just as well, add ice ... and chill.

Off to make some more now!

Congratulations, I'll drop you a line now for your address and post your new tea cosy asap:)

Thanks to everyone for entering, and don't feel down about not winning this time, there will be plenty more to come.


Well it isn't really.

Still I'll plow on all the same.

Waaaay back before Christmas I received a commission order for a tea cosy and the only instructions were that it had to be red and white and .....

it had to look like a teapot.


Not round and appliqued or in the shape of anything else, just that it had to look like a teapot.

Of course I was happy to oblige, and I quite liked it so I made another for myself in yellow and I still quite liked it so I made another the same as the original commission ..... for one of you.

It's made to fit a standard four cup British teapot, but it also comfortably covers those new fangled tall cylinder pots which hold six cups.

Now I'm well aware that this is hardly the weather to be worrying about your tea getting cold, but stay with me for a second because by my reckoning it's really just keeping the heat in and something that is capable of keeping the heat in should also do a fair job of keeping the cold in. I can't be the only one who thinks this would look pretty cool with a nice cold jug of lemonade or even iced tea hidden underneath. Can I?

And all you have to do to enter is run to the end of the garden and back, all the while patting yourself on your head with one hand while rubbing your belly with the other and saying the alphabet backwards.

But because nobody in their right mind (not even me, and I'm a few dolly mixtures short of a quarter) would bother with that lot in this heat, I'll settle for a little comment telling me your favourite bevvy on a hot day:)

Cause I'm nice like that and I'm also very easily pleased.

I'll pick a name from a hat on Friday night and do the needful thereafter:)

Quick edit because I always forget to pop this in somewhere. The giveaway is open to everyone worldwide:)

How awesome is it

that when I get stuck in work with my two arms the one length, twiddling one's thumbs so to speak my first thought is to give you lovely darlings the chance to win a little bit of springtime bling?

Awesome, I know!

So would you like to win some springy broochy goodness?

You would, well of course why wouldn't you and as if you even needed another reason to enter, I've even gone and made it super easy for you too:)

And if you win, you even get to choose which brooch you'll be sporting this Spring.

Pink

Yellow

or even Green

All you need to do is pop over to my shop, have a nosey around, then come back here and have a guess in the comments which item has had the most views.

You can even have a second entry for tweeting about the giveaway, but you'll have to remember to come back here and leave a second comment, otherwise it's hard for my poor brain to keep track.

You can even copy the following to make it all the easier to enter twice

I just entered @seethewoods fab Spring Brooch Giveaway http://tinyurl.com/yj9tubx Join me!

If someone gets the right answer, then clearly they'll win, failing that I'll just pick a name out of a hat on Wednesday, how's that sound?

***Only comments on this post will be taken as entries***

UPDATE - We have a winner:) Betty's Place guessed correctly and it was in fact my Autumn Brooch which has the most views and favourites too, only just pipping my pincushion rings to the post. Betty if you'd like to choose a colour, your new brooch will be off in the post to you asap:)

Chin up my lovelies, there will be more giveaways to come!
