I'm Cured (I think) :o) ...

Nope, not the dreaded lurgie, in fact nothing sinister at all ...... I'm pretty sure I'm not zipperphobic any more!!! Look what I made ......Then I got to feeling really clever and tried the next one ....Today I'm going to make the circle ... then I'm going to have to shop for more zippers!!! Never thought I'd be doing that LOL. Guess what everyone I know is getting for Christmas!!?!!? All thanks must go to Catherine at Willow Valley Store for her "Zipperphobia" pattern!!! Catherine you have another convert :o).
Don't forget my first giveaway on my previous post ...... what's in your handbag????? You have until Sunday to tell me :o).
Bye for now ... take care,

My First Giveaway - Ric Rac and Roses!!!!!

Woohoo!!!! It's done :o)!!!

DH is still painting, DD2 has gone shopping which has left me to do pretty much what I pleased (almost) all day ..... so, I finished writing up my pattern. And to celebrate ... as promised .... I'm going to have a giveaway!!! My first blog giveaway ... how exciting!!! :o)

So here's the piccy of "Ric Rac and Roses"

... the base is circular and the bag stands about 12 1/2" (without the handles). There are 4 pockets on the outside and another larger pocket on the inside for your bits and bobs ... also space for your mobile phone and another for your sunglasses, or your ipod, or even another phone if you want ;o). I've stitched some cute hand dyed guipure lace motifs onto mine - just cos I love them and I also used some gorgeous ceramic buttons (that I bought at the Stitches and Craft show last year) on the pockets - which are also sporting some pretty cute ric rac braid chosen by Sophie (see previous post).

Ok, so let's make it fun. How about you tell me (and everyone else who visits my blog) what's the strangest thing you keep in your handbag/purse??? It really doesn't make any difference to the results of the giveaway cos I'll just be drawing the winners out of a hat, so you really don't have to tell if you don't want to.

I'll give away 2 "Ric Rac and Roses" patterns and I'll do the draw on Sunday night ... AND ... if you mention this giveaway on your blog and link it back to here I'll put your name in twice!!! Cool huh??

Ok, so go and tip out the contents of your handbag and get back to me :o).

Talk soon .... take care,

Joy :o)
