it's a giveaway!!!!!



Since I have been busy making fabric baskets (thanks again to Ayumi) for the kiddywinks's teachers and I believe I mentioned the possibility of a giveaway in that post it's time I came through on my promises.

And here you are - a fabric basket stuffed full with bits and bobs to keep you busy. There are a couple of packets of seeds for you to grow tomatoes and radishes (yum, radishes), some vintage notions (ricrac, binding and lacy binding), a charm pack of tula pink's neptune fabrics, a spool of tape measure ribbon, some quilting pins (the long ones with a flat head), some japanese mushroom sticky tape, a notebook and pen (for emergency list writing), a packet of skittles and a packet of starburst - which taste like summer (and if you are in the US might not realise that over here in good old Blighty, our candy is flavoured with real fruit juice, yep, real juice, and we have blackcurrant flavoured skittles too. Very delicious) and last but not least, in fact it's my favourite thing, a cupcake tape measure come pin cushion.

So, do you want it? Just leave me a comment (make sure I can contact you too, so if you don't have a blog with an email address that your name will link to, leave me an email addy. Thanks)

I'll draw the number at the weekend, on Sunday.

Good luck!

Wow, Katy. How did you fit all that into a little basket! Thanks for the giveaway.
