... from wherever I've been!
Actually I haven't been anywhere, and I just don't know where last week went. I think I did a Sleeping Beauty, (or is it Rip van Winkle?) for a week and have just woken up again. The only thing of note really is that I have done my tax return for this year, so now I know how much I owe the tax man - ugh.
I have also realised what a very bad blogger I have been. In December I was lucky enough to win two giveaways, and I have only just got round to showing you the great things I won.
Firstly, I won a selection of handmade cards from Rhonda at
Quiltnut Creations. I had seen some of Rhonda's cards before on her blog, but when they arrived I almost couldn't bring myself to use them, they were so lovely. I have though, and several of the people I sent them to have commented on how lovely they are. Thanks so much Rhonda.
Then Linda from
Living the Dream celebrated her first blogiversary by giving away a voucher to a great online shop called
Intrepid Thread, and I was the lucky winner. It took me ages to decide what to buy, but I did eventually manage to make a decision. These are the fabrics I chose. They are so different to my usual style and colours, and I love them. When I ordered them, I knew just what I was going to do with them. Unfortunately, I have now managed to forget! Still, it doesn't matter really, cos they're so lovely I am happy just getting them out of the cupboard and stroking them. Thanks Linda for picking my name out.

Aren't those pretty fabrics and I have some lovely handmade cards - they sit as decoration, maybe someday the right moment will come to use them.
Welcome back! :-) Love the fabrics you chose, and the cards are so nice, I'd have a hard time using them too. Have a happy Sunday!
What beautiful goodies you have received. Glad you are rubbing the sleep out of your eyes and back with us :}
Love the fabrics! I am "Delighted" by your choices!! I have just done a table cloth in red and yellow, love those two colours together. Linda x
Lucky you! You have just reminded me .....the tax isn't done yikes!
Welcome back Sue.....I've missed you. I can finally make a comment on your site!!! Congratulations on your winning streak.
Nice winnings. I love the fabric you chose. It's nice to go shopping without having to spend your own money, isn't it? Wish it could always be that way.
Lucky you, Sue. Beautiful cards and great choice of fabrics. Enjoy them.
Nice winnings congrats, hopefully the project will come back to you that the fabric was for and if not you can always use them for something else.
Beautiful cards and super lovely fabrics! Congratulations on your winnings!
Have a super great sewing and stitching day! It won't be long and you will remember the project you had in mind for your new fabric.
The cards and fabrics are beautiful! I do the same with new fabric...I keep looking at the fabric, petting it, unfolding and refolding, and don't ever want to use it. Good luck "letting go" and cutting it up. Wonderful wins!
Congratulations on your great wins!
Wow!! Welcome back you lucky devil!! Take care!
