Hello Everyone!
What lovely weather for ducks! Well at least it is down here in Devon! I have a few things to share with you before I introduce you to the Cirlcle of Love Handcrafted Giveaway organised by the lovely Natalie of Free Spirit Designs. I'm afraid this post feels like a bit of a marathon this week but I have so many things to talk to you about! I haven't even shown you the bowl I've been making so that will have to wait until next week. I suggest you make a cup of something warm and scrummy before settling down to read this one! I definitely needed two or three whilst I was composing it!! Oh and I mustn't forget I am linking up to Handmade Monday so please pop over and have a look at what all the clever crafty people are up to this week. Just one more thing ... I can't get my usual font to work this week. I don't think I've done anything different! Hopefully it will be back next time!

Thank you, thank you and thank you Natalie! The profile picture is made from ribbon yarn just laid out on the carpet and a bit of tweaking with a photo editor. You say some lovely things about my brooch, I really must make more effort to try and sell them. Now I have my facebook page sorted maybe I can put them on there. Really pleased you 'liked' it for me! xx
DeleteSt Ives looks gorgeous, and I have already nipped over to FB and liked you!
ReplyDeleteYour images of St Ives are breathtaking. I've only ever been there once and it was so busy and bustling but with a lovely atmosphere. I'd love to stay there - we went on a day trip on the train while we were staying not far away. Your brooch is just gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteThe prizes are lovely, thanks for the chance to enter!
ReplyDeleteI have already been and liked you on FB and am following you on Twitter too. Off to look at the other blogs now too! Thanks for pointing me in their direction!
Love the pic's of St Ives, beautiful and good luck with your circle of love
ReplyDeleteSt Ives looks absolutely beautiful - what a great place to live. Love that brooch you have crocheted! (have popped over to your fb page) mich x
ReplyDeleteSt Ives is a beautiful place and your pics are lovely. I like your solution to the blogging comment dilemma - makes much more sense to re-visit the blogger who commented. You certainly have had a busy week and your wire brooch is a lovely giveaway. I will visit the other bloggers today as well. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThe prizes are gorgeous..I am so jealous of your talent. I have liked your fb page and your blog. I haven't joined the twitterati yet!
ReplyDeleteA message for Susie - Hello Susie! Thanks for trying to get to my facebook page. I am on facebook as Alison Willcocks and my picture is a daisy. I have a page called Fiddly Fingers so I would have thought you would need to search for Alison Willcocks not Fiddly Fingers. Anyway not to worry here is the link to my Fiddly Fingers facebook page http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Fiddly-Fingers/351417784907415 hopefully this should take you directly to it.
ReplyDeleteIf not you can find it at the beginning of this post under the title Facebook Page. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to see your comment on here anywhere, I only know you left one because I had an email notification through.
I love the brooch & I hope you had a great time in St Ives, it looked beautiful weather x
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of St. Ives. I've liked you on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteYikes, St Ives looks so dry and pretty... great selection in your giveaway... there is such a wealth of talent out there!
