Greetings lovely friends & readers.
I have wanted to do a Giveaway on my blog for quite some time now ... but the weeks & months got away on me.
I decided with Easter being earlier this year, I would do a small Easter themed Giveaway ... & keeping in line with my Green Phase I decided to give it a bit of a Green Theme ๐

I enlarged the pattern slightly so this girl stands at 32 cms tall. She has a leather tag on her dress & a made with love silver charm on her neck tie. Her face is embroidered. Both the body & the dress fabrics are Tilda.

Also included is this handmade bunny sewn from a Vintage New Zealand pure wool blanket. "He" stands at 27 cms tall & if you removed the wooden heart from his bow he would be safe to gift to a child. "He" has a fluffy pom pom tail.
I have included one of my knitted cotton wash/dish cloths along with a handmade green soap scented with lemon myrtle. These come packaged up in cellophane with a ribbon & a heart tag.
I have also included 2 vintage doilies from my own collection, one is round & embroidered & the other battenburg lace one has handpainted pansies on it. Both have been washed, lightly spray starched & ironed.
Last but not least a couple of Lindt choccy treats ... not too many as I have zero willpower & they would inevitably end up in my mouth before I draw a winner (!!!) ๐
All the above items will come to you beautifully giftwrapped & tied up with ribbon & a swing tag.
Here are the rules ...
I will post to anywhere in the world. You may enter the draw no matter where you live.
To enter you must leave me a comment below. If you have trouble getting it to Publish then email me at stitchedbyjulie@hotmail.com & I can copy & paste your comment.
If your comment publishes as Anonymous please write your christian name at the end & your Country eg : Julie from New Zealand.
If you would like to then please tell me your favorite colour but this is not a requirement to enter. I just thought it might add some interest to the comments.
I will draw a winner on Friday 15th March so that I have 2 weeks to post it to where-ever the winner lives. This gives you just over 3 weeks to enter.
Please feel free to take part dear friends ๐ค
My dear friend Sally lost one of her beloved cats Chloe, a couple of weeks ago. I decided to make Sally a heart from vintage linen & embroider Chloe's name on it. The red cat & heart buttons are from Theodora Cleave. I filled the heart with my homegrown lavender.
Sid & his Dad Kayne decided to enter the X-Race event as there was one being held locally in Cambridge. Sid got 5th in the 6 - 7 year age bracket & wore his tee-shirt & medal non-stop for 2 days & 2 nights!!
Some of the challenges are mystery but the "tie a tie" challenge they knew about, so could practise at home prior.
The "Painting Dad's Toenails" challenge was not known about so required some concentration on Sid's part.
Lots of physical challenges & some problem solving ones too.
My son Kayne is wearing a blind fold in the right hand pic & Sid was to direct him but I notice Sid has his eyes shut also (!!)
Such a wonderful event & well worth the entry fee to participate.
Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week dear friends,
Please do enter my Giveaway if you would like to - it's my way of thanking you for this wonderful community called Blogland that I feel grateful to be a small part of.
With much love & friendship to you all,
Julie & the furry three x0x0x0
How generous of you to have such a sweet giveaway. Your new green themed items are precious. My favorite color is hard to decide, mostly blue/green. Seems I choose that for wearing. Thank for sharing your thread bear life with us. Dotti in Connecticut, USA
ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog. ( I don’t have a blog, just read many blogs) You are so creative. I often show my husband the things you make and give a NEW life to. We are going through a heat wave here in Perth, looking forward to Autumn.

Hi Julie...
DeleteLast night l watched the repeat of 'New Zealand~Train Journeys' PT2.
Very impressed by this...Which is quite close to you....(l think)....!

Here is the actual episode if you or anyone wants to watch it...

(Hope it all opens o.k,)...Thanks....! :O).
The X-Race looks such fun. I had to laugh at Sid closing his eyes in the blindfold part and well done to your son for being such a good sport. I hope the nail varnish didn't go all over his toes!
ReplyDeleteLovely crafts, Julie. How kind of you to make a little keepsake for your friend in memory of Chloe.
Have a lovely, not too hot week.
That is a lovely giveaway; however, please don't enter me for this. I seriously need to do a real sort and de-clutter before it all becomes too overwhelming. I am sure the winner will be absolutely delighted to receive so many beautiful things.
ReplyDeleteWhile I love many colours, I would say blue (in all shades) is my favourite. With paints, my favourite of the moment is phthalo blue. Sid and his Dad did really well. The fabric heart is such a lovely idea and so thoughtful too. I have made a wooden Christmas bauble for each of our cats who we have lost, with their photo and name on and it is so nice to see them on the Christmas tree every year.
Best wishes
Ellie
It is a delight to see your creativity and be inspired by it. Thank you. Favorite color: Yellow.
ReplyDeletePatricia. Florida, USA
A giveaway is a kindness and always appreciated I think. My favourite colour has always been blue, but green and chocolate brown are catching my eye lately. Painting Dad's toes, how funny, I bet nobody saw that coming.
ReplyDeleteHahaa...Sid also closed his eyes? Too cout...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to enter your giveaway!
And I love pink...
Big hug
Donna
Love your little bunnies! Favorite color - would have to go with a magenta pink, followed by a teal blue….but just love all colors. Funny story about painted toenails - did so on a fella's toes back in the 1980s - all fun and games until he was getting ready to play basketball with the guys and I got a panicked call as to how to remove it….he did not want anyone to see his painted toes when they showered after the game…I still laugh about that today…cheers, Louise, Vestal, NY, USA
ReplyDeletePs spent the month of Nov 2023 in New Zealand - had a wonderful time - just finished a kiwi bird quilt top commemorating our adventure there.
What a lovely giveaway and love the colors! My favorite color is teal and has been for a few years. Your post is full of fun, especially with the X-Race Event for your son and grandson. Special memories for them both, and love the grandson closing his eyes while your son's blindfolded - how cute! Blessings to you . . .
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your lovely posts when you can post--My favorite color is pink--just a nice pretty shade of pink-pink--I find so many shades of pink--so it's like a treasure hunt for me when I spot the right shade of pink!!! I love that pansy doliy--pansies are my very favorite flower--with--just about any all flowers second!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day and family--hugs, diane
Congratulations to Sid and his dad! It is great to see parents playing and interacting with their children. My mother did her best with me playing dolls a lot. But I was also a tom boy and outside on my own as much, lol. Your gift will be amazing for someone to receive. I love seeing it, but I will decline to be entered. Only because I have asthma and it is induced by all fragrances. I avoid candle aisle in the stores, and you should see me when I walk the community when someone is doing laundry! I have to hold my breath from the laundry fumes, funny but not funny. The greens you have been working with are lovely. But I confess, my color in life is anything in blue and aqua. I only like yellow and red in live flowers or on your lovely heart for your friend. Thank you for creating and sharing what you make on your blog. Lynn and Precious XX
ReplyDeleteA very lovely prize you are giving away Julie. My favourite colour is purple. Beautiful heart & love the little cat button. Well done Sid & Kayne. It sure looked a fun day for them both.

Oh Julie what a gorgeous prize you have put together... my favourite colour is blue, but as I have got older I wear a lot of other colours also, more in the 'quieter' colour range - although recently I had a wonderful bright orange 'find' at the local Op Shop and love wearing it!!
ReplyDeleteThat race looks like a wonderful parent and child day... what fun for Sid to win a medal!!
So thoughtful of you to make a wee memory pillow for your friend as she grieves the loss of Chloe
Blessings

So cute, and thoughtful. How fun to put that all together.
ReplyDeleteI can't resist putting my name down for a giveaway... and especially when it includes one of your lovely Tilda makes!!! I would say I lean towards blue/green - teal . How fun for Sid and his dad to do that event together.... it looks like heaps of fun...
