Happy 6th Blogiversary to me!
G'day all!
I've now been blogging for six whole years. I think that deserves a crikey! I only pull out the crikeys for special occasions :-)
(Actually, it was yesterday but it is still the 20th of August in the States so that is good enough for me. 8-)
In honour of this momentous occasion, I think I need to spread the love around. Yep, this means giveaway time!
What have I got to give away?
Well, what about this lovely little quilt? It's big enough for a lap and plenty big enough for a cot. All cotton outside, including thread, and bamboo/cotton batting on the inside. Patterned fabric is Lila Tueller's "Eden."
(you can see the back of it here)
But that is not all! If I get more than 100 comments on this blogiversary post, then I will add another TWO prizes to the offering.
How about this rather lurid handspun, handknitted shawl? BFL and silk, hence the brightness of the colours.
And the third prize will be 200g of anything you like (spinning fibre or dyed yarn) from my old shop (which I have to update cos I have found more goodies for it, particularly spinning fibre such as the one in the background of my blog title pic. Honest, this isn't as crap a prize as it might seem at first 8-).
But in a new twist (added 24 August 2010), I'll let the first person choose the quilt, the shawl or the yarn/tops, the second person has two choices and the third person has whatever is left! If I get less than a hundred comments, only one prize will be offered and it will be the winner's choice of the three prizes. Make sense?

wow, six years! I don't think that I knew what a blog was six years ago. So you must have been way ahead of time (or probably I was way behind...!!!). Anyway, Happy Blog Anniversary! I would love to put my name into the hat for your fantastic give away. Thanks so much. Vreni x
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 6 years!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm just trying to figure out how long i've been blogging also, think it might have been around the same time. CRRRRAZY!!!
Congrats on the 6 years milestone! Keep at it. Love seeing the shawls pop up!
ReplyDelete6 years flies by! happy blogiversary!!
ReplyDeleteDid you think you had six years of something to say inside of you when you first started? I tried starting a blog and just couldn't sustain it. I'm not much of a photographer and many of the most interesting blogs have great photos - as does yours.
ReplyDeleteSo congratulations on your six year bloggiversary!

ReplyDeleteHi, I found your blog a few days ago while researching colonoscopy preps experiences - I'm having a colonoscopy tomorrow so the 4litre preps start this arvo. I'm not exactly looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I decided to follow you and I'm really glad I did. I love your work and your blog is always interesting to me.
Congratulations on your 6th anniversary.
Peace & love
Eleanor
ps I'm not sure how to give you my email privately but will have a look.
Happy Blogiversary. 6 years WOW. Love the knitted shawl, lovely colours. Hope you are keeping well.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary. I've enjoyed following your journeys, and look forward to lots more. Also, must keep track of your store - your yarn is pretty! In the unlikely event that I'm a winner, you can find me at jillatmccoydotiddotau.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on six years of blogging! I love seeing all the wonderful creations you knit/sew/dye/spin and have enjoyed your workmanship a few times now myself! I already follow your blog on bloglines but wanted to say Congratulations! I am coming to Oz in January (Sydney and Gold Coast) to see my family - a pity I won't have the time to make the trek down to Vic to see you too!
