Ho Ho Ho

Last week it felt like Santa had visited us but this week it is time for us to play Santa with another giveaway!! 

It is getting harder and harder to have any pretty sewing project pictures to show you as all of our current sewing is for Christmas presents.  Our families do look at the blog regularly so it is a "no Christmas present posting zone". 

I have not taken the handmade pledge but I have been trying my hardest to either make all of my presents or buy handmade.  I am pleased to say that so far in December I have not entered a shopping centre and hope to continue this way.  I think I have managed to achieve about 90% of my presents as "handmade" but there are a few that will need a visit to the shops - I am hoping to convince my husband to grab these last few things!!

I have spent last night and this morning finishing off "The owl & the pussycat" pattern so at least I can find something to post about in the form of a new giveaway.

As usual we ask that you leave a comment to be in the running and we will draw some luck winners this Friday.

We hope that your week is not too hectic as the silly season continues and that you are finding time to craft and celebrate.  -Melly & Rosie

Hi Melly & Rosie,
Thank you again for an opportunity to be in the running to win some patterns....both bags are very cute. You are doing a grand job if you haven't yet had to enter a shopping centre, as they're to be avoided, if possible, at this time of year. Cheers, Lyn

I just love these two bags have been trying to decide what to make my young 1/2 sisters (I'm 32) and these bags would be perfect. I am always amazed at the new designs that just keep coming.... Well have a happy Christmas and look forward to seeing what new designs you have in the coming year!

Hi Guys, I Love the owl and the pussycat, my girls actually read it out at our wedding. Love the bags.

[Mary]

Ooooh! A giveaway! Love these bags -- they are so darling (as always). I think I must be on some sort of mission to sew all your patterns.

[jenn]

I would love to be in the running too if I can. I just love all your patterns!

[sue]

Oh they are both so adorable, and you always make such gorgeous items.

Well done you on not going near the shopping centre at this time of year. So busy down there, & a good way to spoil Christmas really! Hope you aren't forgetting to take photos of all those undoubtedly beautiful Christmas presents you are creating. It would be a Christmas treat for us to see them when they are done! Peace & Christmas blessings to you both.

[Amber]

These are just adorable. I know a few little girls I could make one for...

I'm addicted to bags at the moment so these little gems would be no exception....they are just so cute!
Thanks for the great draws you do here on your blog, very generous!

I am also tying to make a number of my Christmas presents this year and am rapidly running out of time! I still have to finish the pair of SangSangs I have made as well as quilt and bind a large quilt (which was supposed to be for a wedding in Nov - oops!). Good luck in getting all your presents finished in time :)
