I thought I would do the drawing a bit different this year.  I had my sweetie give me 4 numbers between 1 and 35.  Below are the results. 

The first number he gave me was 27.  The person who was the number 27th comment is Deb. from Alaska.  Deb blog is called: "Cold Feet Quilter"  Deb is a great quilter and does super beautiful machine quilting. So please have a look at Deb's blog too. 

The next number My Sweet told me was number 19.  The number 19th comment was from Ellen in Singapore.  Ellen blog is called, "Stitched Passion". Ellen does all kinds of lovely stitching so please have a look at her blog.

The third number My Sweetie told me was number 7.  The 7th comment was from Maureen in Leicester, UK and Maureen's blog is called: "Maureen Mixture".  Maureen is a very talented lady and does lovely stitching and mix media creations so please have a look at her blog.

The 4th number My Sweetie told me was 29 and the 29th comment was from Linda in QLD Australia.  Linda blog is called: "Billabongs2bling"! Linda does machine embroidery and stitching and has a lovely blog too so please have a visit. 

Congratulation to all the winners. I hope you all will enjoy the wee pressies I have created for you all.  Please email me your home addresses and I will send off your pressies sometime this week.    

Above is a photo I took yesterday of our Autumn Colors.  They are just about at peak color now which is about 2 weeks early according to the experts.  The colors this year are brilliant and spectacular and I could look at them all day.

It has been awhile since I shared some photos of my lovely sweet grandchildren.  This is a photo of Chloe ( 4yrs old)  and Ethan (5 yrs. old)  at a Apple Cider Farm a couple of weeks ago.  Aren't they just adorable.  I love them both so much.

I have started a new adventure in creating Fabric Journal Pages.  They are 6 inches by 6 inches square.   This is the first one and I call it "Lupin Fields of PEI"!  What you all think??

This is the second Fabric Journal Page I have made. I called this one Victorian Sparkles.  I used allot of beads and metallic threads to create it.  So it really sparkles.

The above photo is a very wee peak of the new fancy cupboard My Sweetie made for me this past summer.  It was the last piece of furniture he made for my new renovated Studio.  I will be posting more photos of "My New Studio" at the beginning of November.  At the fore front of the photo you will see three very unique and beautiful crochet "Cupcake Pincushions and a Easter Basket created by

 "Lallee's Cottage"! Please have a look at Lallee's blog she creates very beautiful crochet items.

At the end of October I will be posting some of the absolutely beautiful photos we took of the " Magical Place of Prince Edward Island". We will be telling you about all the great places we visited and the lovely friendly people we met too.   I hope you all will come back and visit me again soon.

I hope you all are having a lovely week. Please take care.

Hugs

                                                                   

Blogging Celebration: 4th Year Give-Away

Hello Everyone,

Happy Autumn to you all!!!  Well, officially Autumn is still a couple of days away but it has felt like Autumn for the last couple of weeks.

During my Summer break from Blogging I did a wee bit of stitching specifically for My 4th Year Blogging Celebration Give-Away.  I hope I have created gifts everyone would be happy to add to their collections of goodies.

This past Spring I took my first crochet class and I have build on my skills allot during the Summer months.  I have truly enjoyed the art of crocheting so I decided to created two crocheted gifts for the give-away and one of them I felted. 

Here is a photo of all the gifts I created this Summer for My Give-Away.  Below I will highlight each gift. 

I crocheted this Wee Autumn Basket made from a wool blend yarn in an array of Autumn colors of Tangerine, Golds, Greens  and Beige. It felted up only about 25% because it was not 100% wool.

It will be gift # 4 in the give-away.  

I even added some acorns to this photo from our numerous Oak Trees to put you all in the Autumn mood. They started falling early this year and The Farmer Almanac tells us that we are going to have an earlier harsh and long Winter.  Very Sad Face.  

This gift is a crochet Cupcake Pincushion.  I made it from 100% Organic Cotton yarn.  The frosting yarn is called Almond and the bottom yarn is called Spice. I think they are both lovely colors for celebrating Autumn.  I even added some Autumn color beads for sprinkle on the Icing to make it sparkle.  I also added a wee spice swirl for the top.  It is about 2 3/4 inches wide and 4 inches tall. Isn't it a very sweet looking Pincushion?

The Cupcake Pincushion will be gift # 3 to give-away.

The above photo is a Biscornu Autumn Pincushion.  It is the very first Biscornu Pincushion I have ever made and it is of my own Autumn design too.  I believe Pumpkins and Sunflowers are definitely Autumn Icons. It is created from 100% Wools and is approximately 8 inches wide and 2 inches tall. 

 The Biscornu Pincushion will be # 2 gift to give away. 

The above photo is a Crazy Patchwork Autumn Heart. I added a Autumn silkie that has two fairies and a lovely Butterfly in the center. I have added lots of beads and fancy stitching to it. The hanger is made from a lovely Lime Green medium size rick rack. I also added a stitchery of Lavender to it because it is filled with stuffing and "Lavender" from My Michigan Garden. It "Smells Heavenly".  It is approximately 7 X 7 inches.

The Crazy Patchwork Heart will be the # 1 prize in the give-away.

All the gifts are "Hand Made With Love!!
