Lucky Me ...


Have you come across Fee's wooden blocks yet?  Oh my, they're completely charming.  A little while ago, I ordered a block from her NOTHS shop for a friend's new baby and was absolutely delighted with it (and truth be known a little reluctant to give it away which was silly since it was personalised with baby's details!).

Imagine how thrilled I was when I won my choice of a yellow block with the word 'sunshine' on it in Knitsofacto's recent giveaway.

I so love it!  And the spooky thing?  Pretty much since it arrived, the sun HAS been shining!

Look, she's even personalised it for me ...


Thank you so much Fee and Annie.

I'm obviously on a bit of a roll because I also won Country Rose's giveaway.  I know!  I had to pinch myself.  Just look at this little lot ...


They were an absolute joy to unwrap.

I shall sew the buttons onto a plain yellow cardigan I have ...


... the little floral pouch is now housing embroidery silks while I dabble a little with cross stitch (Ashley, did you make it yourself?) ...


I've worn the crocheted flower on numerous occasions ...


and the little strawberry cruet set is sitting oh-so-proudly on my kitchen table.

I know everybody always says the same but, seriously, I never win things.

Before I go ... D has been invited to a corporate golf weekend in Portugal in a fortnight.  Having not that long returned from a boys' skiing trip, he was a little sheepish when he mentioned it.  "Would you mind?" he asked.  Girls, you would have been proud of me.  "No, I suppose not ..." I said "but a new Cath Kidston duvet cover would make me feel a little bit better" ...


... *sigh*.

Right, just off to pick some lottery numbers ...

  8. te he - how lovely to see your little sunshine block on your blog - Annie really did a super dooper giveaway! And Ashley's too? what a splendid week - good things DO sometimes happen to good people.
    What a shame you can't tag along to said golf resort, book (and glass of wine) in hand....saying that, I'd probably take the CK bedding instead too...good work!

  17. Hi Heather, thanks for your comment on mine!
    I came here hoping to see lots of lovely freshly painted fences and sheds and things but I guess you are either still hard at it or waiting for your hands to work again after all that painting!
    I hope you're going to show us, it all sounds lovely!

    Enjoy this lovely weather!
