Time For The Christmas RAK Giveaway

Well the time is hear for me to part with the ornaments. I have made 7. I have 5 giveaways. 2 are already spoken for. I'm not going to give any clues as to what the ornaments are, just that they are from popular designers.

So if you would like to be incuded in the draw, please leave a comment to say so. Draw closes 19th November, so be quick! The lucky 5 will see their names appear on a post here on 20th November. I would like to get these posted out during the last week of November.

I've also made myself an ornament for this year too. :)


'Noel 2009' Freebie - http://123citrouille.canalblog.com.
32ct cream belfast using DMC 115.
Finished as a beaded ornament.


I've been on leave this week from work. I was going to do this, do that, do the other but haven't seemed to get much done at all. I did manage to make my way to the framers though to take in 3 items. I took in The Spirit of Christmas (Lavender & Lace), HummingBead Heaven (Just Nan) and Morning Song (Just Nan) which I finished way back in March 2009! I'm all excited again now and think that this has revived me a bit with the stitching bug. My framer asures me they will be done in 2-3 weeks, ready for Christmas at least, but he has a big job on for Pollyanna Pickering who has an exhibition soon. He still had 90 to frame!

I've started the inner border of my Drawn Thread piece. I'm hoping I can finish it before the New Year or even Christmas. Then at least I can have a new start which is always good for the spirits. Which one? I have no idea!

  29. Hi Andrea,

    Since I was one of your lucky winners
    last year I don't think that it would
    be fair of me to enter again ... would
    it?? Nah, that would be just plain
    greedy ... wouldn't it?? No, seriously
    it would not be right at all ... would
    it??

    Oh boy! I can't wait to see those three
    newly framed pieces when they come back
    from your framers.

    Love your newest "red" finish Noel 2009.
    Very pretty Quaker design and the DMC
    115 thread is perfect as always.

    Your framer has 90 pieces to frame for
    that exhibit?? Holy Cow!!! Does he
    plan to sleep at all or just work right
    through??

    Cheers!

  35. Oh, I'd love to enter your giveaway. I just made a Christmas Pillow using the Pineberry Lane, Merry Christmas chart. I gave it to my baby grandson with instructions to his parents that this was a magic Chirstmas pillow. When set out at Christmas, it guaranteed Santa would find his way to my grandson's home :)!

  54. I think it would not be fair from me to enter this year as I won the most beautiful ornament from you last year. But I can't wait to see the ones you are giving away this year to the lucky winners, for sure they are all beautiful ones.

    The one you made for yourself is so wonderful, I love this colour and the design is also lovely.
