Today is quite special for many reasons it is Advent Sunday in the Church. Advent is a term from the Latin word 'adventus' which means "arrival". It is a time of waiting for the arrival of Christmas and is associated mainly with Advent Calendars and in particular the fun of opening to see what is revealed behind each number! Whilst in Scotland the people are celebrating St. Andrew's day as he is the Patron Saint of Scotland. Google has marked the day with a doodle of the Flying Scotsman - the world famous steam locomotive. However, here on this blog there is a special giveaway. Please leave a comment if you would like the chance of winning the shuttle and thread holder (please note this does not include the piece of wood underneath or the foliage), you have until 3rd December when I will announce the winner by using a random number generator. The shuttle is made out of sequoia, the tree that the wood comes from stands in front of the ...
This is my favourite time of the year, long days with hopefully lots of sunshine. To celebrate my 400th blog post and of course Summer, I am giving away the items below. A post shuttle made out of Rosewood together with some other Summer related items. So simply make one comment (together with an easy way to find you blog or e.mail) and I will use a random number generator to choose the winner. You have until Monday 29th June here in the UK, I will announce the winner on Tuesday. This giveaway is open to anyone in the world, in fact whenever I have given items away in the past the winner has never been in the UK or anywhere in Europe! Just one condition on your comment just say something you like or hate about Summer!! Good Luck!

One will be a Pop-A-bobbin shuttle and the other will be a post shuttle. So there will be two winners. The shuttles will be put in one of these specially decorated boxes. It is good to win something you really want, and some of you prefer using a post shuttle rather than a shuttle with a bobbin. So in order for that to happen you have the option to choose which type of shuttle you would like and which box. So when you comment please put either "Post" for Post shuttle or "Pop" for Pop-A-bobbin shuttle. However, if you don't mind which shuttle, you will have a double chance to win, as your entry will be put in for both, so in that case please do not put a preference. As for the box, if you have a preference for the colour the...
