Greetings lovely friends & readers
Every year as Christmas approaches I plan to do a Giveaway & then time slips away on me. So this year I have decided to do it now (early) - so that I can allow time to post it anywhere in the world & it will arrive (hopefully) before Christmas.
I really enjoy my blog & the friendships I have made through this little corner of my world. I appreciate all of you that take the time to read my waffle ramblings, & especially those that leave me a comment. I have found nothing but kindness through all the folk I have "met" through this platform. So this simple little festive Giveaway is my way of saying Thank You to all of you ... if I could I would send you each a little parcel.
I have put together a small selection of festive bits & bobs, mostly handcrafted by me but some are purchased items. These will be posted to you beautifully giftwrapped & tied up with a tag.
I will post anywhere in the world - anyone may enter.
Here is what will be included in the parcel . . . . . .
A handmade Christmas Cracker (Tilda fabrics of course) filled with some gourmet choccies. This cracker can be untied & re-used for another gift, not thrown away like the store bought paper & plastic ones.
Two of my handknitted organic cotton washcloths & a knitted scrubbie in Christmas colours.
A gorgeous fragrant soap in a Tilda bag tied with a velvet ribbon & a snowflake charm
A rustic hanging (or sitting) wooden Christmas sign.
A set of 3 different sizes of my handmade wooden christmas tags.
A cotton towelling tea-towel or handtowel with a festive design.
I solemnly promise to remove any Ginger Cat hairs before posting the package & No Willie, I cannot include said Ginger Cat in the parcel when posting !! 😉
Please enter by leaving me a comment below. If you have any trouble getting your comment to publish then just email me at stitchedbyjulie@hotmail.com with your comment & I can copy & paste it.
Anyone may enter - I will post worldwide.
If you feel inclined, please tell me one thing you love about Christmas, but you don't have to share this - I am just nosey curious like that !
If your comment comes through as anonymous please remember to leave me your first name & country - eg ... Julie from New Zealand as I often get many anonymous comments.
The Mr will draw a name out of the teapot on Friday 22nd November so it gives me a month for the package to arrive at it's destination.
Last week I finished sewing 20 lined Christmas Stockings for my local Patchwork Store. She fills them with chocolates & donates to the Foodbank who put them in the boxes of families with children at Christmas time. I have another 10 cut out so am hoping I manage to finish these before the cut-off date on the 20th November. The store owner is hoping to reach 300 stockings again this year.
Some Christmas decorating began last week here at Threadbear HQ. I like to pull out the containers & unpack things into the lids as it helps to sort what-goes-where. It didn't take long for a certain ginger fairy to find the containers - a girl gets tired overseeing these things & has to have a nap along the way.
And some furry family members are just downright unhelpful !!! 😐
That's all for today dear friends - I have lots to share so I may do a series of catch up posts.
Wishing you all a wonderful rest-of-the-week,
With much love & friendship to you all,
