Spring giveaway

Here’s something to brighten your week and mine…GiveawayTo be honest, I’ve been planning a giveaway for a while (like since my birthday in August). However I didn’t get organized and here we are at the end of September already, so lets call this a spring giveaway. If you’ve been reading a while you will know that spring is my favorite season β™₯

September 2013 GiveawayThe small bag is made by me, and perfect for your crochet bits and bobs. I’ve included a new crochet hook, a retractable tape measure (I have one the very same and use it all the time), and some new (and very sharp) needles to make sewing in all those pesky ends a little easier. My favorite Whittakers chocolate, some hand made coasters for setting your favorite cup on (also made by yours truly), and a couple of chamomile tea bags (these are my favorite variety for unwinding with at the end of a long day) are included for the next time you need to have a cuppa and something sweet. There’s also a meter or so of these ‘handmade’ labels for stitching to your work – I love the design of these and have some myself too πŸ™‚

handmade labelsThis giveaway is open to anyone anywhere in the world, just leave a comment below and let me know something that’s your favorite right now! I’ll draw the winner on Sunday October 6, 2013. Have a happy week, love Janette xox

      My favourite thing right now is knitting newborn baby hats with my left over sock yarn. I also love reading your blogs and keep them all as your ideas are lovely! Do you have any crochet newborn hat patterns.
      PS I was at a birth this morning, baby is now wearing one of my hats!

    What a lovely eclectic collection. My favourites right now are my iPad mini (now and forever); watching seedlings shoot up; having posted my Christmas crochet presents home to the UK (phew, one job done); brushing bagfuls of winter hair off our old pony; watching my daughter shriek with joy yesterday at her first game of ten pin bowling.
    P.S. If we win, she has ‘bagsied’ the bag and the chocolate already!!!

    Well, Janette, you know I have been a fan of yours since I saw your awesome Granny Square bags and made them up for all my knitting students as a gift. Still a fan, read every post you put out there and will continue to do so. I do knit more than I crochet but since I just finished my 68th doily for the summer, I am no slouch at that skill either. keep posting, I enjoy!

    Im busy making red and white crochet stars to string together with some fairy lights for Christmas bunting. It’s autum here in the uk and there are great to make snuggled up as the weather turns chilly. Do have to fight for the yarn on occasions as the cat likes to help!

    Beautiful collection of calming items in your giveaway. My favourite thing right now are the wonderful spring blooms in my garden. A handful of tulips a sprinkle of jonquils and a bunch of daffys plus the odd iris. I love spring flowers.

    πŸ™‚ My favorite season? Summer. Iwish we didn’t have 6 months of snow. 😦 Also, my favorite kitty is Walker. He’s the baby of the family. We found him last halloween while we were out trick or treating. He was probably 8 weeks old and very cold and wanted his very own family. I picked himup and couldn’t put him down. He’s on my lap right now being loving and sweet. Don’t tell the other 5 cats though!!

    Nice gifts, you are very generous. I really like your small bag.
    I like crocheting, but I do really little at the moment as I have eczema on my hands.

    My favorite thing to do is crochet. I take it with me almost everywhere I go. My son died a year ago and crocheting has kept me from going into a deep depression and has helped me not to isolate myself. When I can’t get out of bed my crochet joins me to keep me busy. I am very thankful for many things. Crochet is one of them.

    What a lovely giveaway … I have returned to the Isle of Wight (right at the bottom of England) this evening after travelling 300 miles to Skipton in Yorkshire for the lovely “Yarndale” weekend which was a fantastic woolly weekend run by Lucy from Attic24 and her team of volunteers. You have never seen so much yarny bunting, yarn, flowers, spinning, weaving, crochet, knitting anything and everything. They yarn bombed the Park, the local train station, the Yarndale venue, the bus, the gates, the fences ooooooohhhhhhh everything. Yarndale is certainly my favourite thing at the moment …. what a glorious weekend hundreds and thousands of ladies and men had … oh and ME!! Xx

    Good that I’m not too late for your givaway “contest”! And let me tell you what a great idea you had! This small bag is full of lovely items. I particularly like your coasters. I have to try and make some myself too someday but my crochet skills are still a bit rough … I definitely have to improve here.
    What I really like at the moment is upcycling: to give a new life to old things, changing their shape and using them with different purpose from their original! πŸ™‚
    Keep up the good job!

    Hi! My favourite thing right now is the absolutely beautiful (actually that’s an understatement) autumn season. I adore walking through my little back woods and admiring the gorgeous golds, reds, and oranges adorning the trees. Seeing the fall breeze blow through the leaves, sometimes making them flutter down to the ground where they eventually dry up and go crunch crunch under your feet as you walk through the remainders of fall, just before it all gets covered up in a blanket of soft white snow. Fall is my all time favourite season, it is like admiring a painting every day, I just love it! Nadia from Canada

    My favorite thing right now are the beautiful colors of fall. The sky is a bright blue, the orange pumpkins and the yellow sunflowers to name a few. Here on Long Island NY, we have the benefit of the greatest city, and the beautiful beaches. It is a fantastic place to visit and or live!

Just like you, I like to sew a lot and it would be awesome to receive your gift since my birthday is on the 5th! πŸ™‚ anyhoo, thanks for the all tutorials and sending you kisses all the way from Spain!

    My favorite thing is looking on pinterest for neat patterns of things to make for my new grand-niece. Now all I need to do is get busy and do them! She’s already 3 months old now!!! And, of course, as cute as can be. I’ve already been the recipient of one of your handmade beauties, but wouldn’t that be the tops if I won those lovely coasters and the bag! You do very good work. And it’s so special of you to be so generous. It’s like being one of your lovely children, just the thought of being on the receiving end of your craftiness!! Thanks for all you do!!

    Lovely giveaway. My favorite things are coffee with friends, reading, and crocheting. I also love your top down cardigan–that’s how I found you! I crochet a lot of baby blankets and made some toddler top down sweaters, but a friend loved those and wanted one her size.

    Finally – a Give Away with personal touch. Thank you!
    My favourite thing right now is to plan the new colour scheme in our house and imagine what it will look like when it’s done before Christmas and what I can make to create a warm and cozy home for my family. Unfortunately some little pesky thing like ” Work” keeps on getting in the way.
