wednesday giveaway : true blues

alright ladies, it's Wednesday today (no waaay !), here comes the third giveaway !


it includes (from left to right) :
- 1 meter of blue cotton tape (from Mokuba)
- 1 meter of navy cotton crochet lace (thin)
- 1 meter of blue cotton crochet lace
- 1 shooting star shaped cookie cutter

I'll repeat the rules each day, in case you stumble upon these giveaways & didn't read the original post about it. So here it goes :

... you can enter your name (once) each day, for each new giveaway !

... you don't have to have a blog yourself, but having a Flickr stream would be nice

... I'm willing to ship anywhere on this planet, so go ahead !

... although I'm on Twitter, you won't get more "tickets" if you tweet or retweet about it


Therefore, to enter your name, everyday, for each giveaway, you will have to :

... provide a name (so I can call you by your name if you win !)

... provide an email address or a way for me to contact you

... (just because I'm so curious !) tell me in which country you live

... tell me if you craft yourself (and which crafts you do, if you want to)

... and this is new for this week of giveaway .... you will have to ask me ONE QUESTION, something you've always wondered about me, a question you would like to ask me, really, anything ! I'll be happy to answer any questions. It can be personal (a bit, OK ?) or ... oh well, really, be imaginative !!

and I will be answering each question (yes !) the following week (on Wednesday I will answer the questions asked the previous Wednesday etc)

okay ... then, good luck everyone, and keep celebrating & asking questions.

* * * *

So yesterday, besides strikes at little one's school (so he stayed home), an appointment at the dentist's (with the same little one), I managed to complete a little pincushion. I listed it yesterday evening in the shop

rose pincushion, front
front ...
rose pincushion, back
... and back

I think I love the back best ! It reminds me of chicken scratch (which I like) & found that these simple little cross stitches brought a bit of cheerfulness to the pincushion. :)
ooops ... in the meantime, it got sold ! :)

ok, must scoot. I have a DESPERATELY NEEDED appointment at the haidressers', this morning (really, I was having a bad hair day too often these last weeks, ahem !) Hope that the middle of the week is sweet with you.

  1. oh what lovely blue's! Tracey here from Australia again. Have been crocheting granny squares the last few days (duck egg blue ones). Should I be asking you another question? Perhaps you could tell me the best thing about living where you live? (Can you tell that I would really love to live in France?)

    The shooting star makes me rather hungry, for some reason...

    Clare here from Canada. I've answered these questions before... I make plushies and what not. Another question for you...? where did you buy that lovely blue fabric for your pincushion?

  7. Your embroidery is always so perfect.

    Ok, so all silliness aside (you can disregard my silly question from yesterday) here is my question for you. You do so much for so many people, what do you do that's just for you?

    Have a great day, sweet friend.
