G'day all! I am so bad!  I didn't do the draw for the contest yesterday!  (I got a little bit busy cos it was a sunny day and I had lots to do outside.) Blue skies after a weekend of unrelenting grey So we had four commenters and with two calendars to give away, the odds are pretty good!  So I put the names into a hat and drew two out, and the winners are: Rachaeldaisy and Pat Hensley! Ladies, please send me your snail mail addresses to me at natiel311 on gmail. I think I'll have to get back in the habit of posting small amounts often - I keep saving things up and then forgetting all about them!  I'm doing heaps of quilting at the moment, or at least building quilt tops and a bit of knitting, and I'm avoiding the housework... anon!

G'day all! Two weeks ago, I posted the final Wotisit. Final for the nonce anyway. Then I said I'd do the draw last Monday. Ahem. Ah well, I've finally been guilted into fixing it up! (Possibly because it means I can avoid the tangerine top for a little longer.) Ever felt guilty for not doing something when you said you would? I do it all the time. Must be more organised! Must fulfill contracts with other. Thinking of musts, I must also harrass the credit union again cos our cheques still haven't arrived and I have bills to pay - at home I can pay everything online or by phone but here many places still only take cheques. I am happy to pay small businesses by cheque cos credit card merchant fees cost a bunch but I do not see why big businesses make me pay by cheque. Only PG&E (gas/power) does online payments but the apartment complex is moving over, thank heavens! Last year one of the factors in choosing this place was online payments but that never happ...

G'day all! We have two winners for my birthday contest! TWO! Alison and Jess ! What are the prizes? A baggie of 5 or 6 stitchmarkers (let me know if you prefer gold or silver and aso if you despise any colours) and 100g of yarn (most likely sock yarn cos that is what I have most of unless you like handspun!) OR 400g (most of a pound) of unwashed wool OR 200g (nearly half a pound) of washed wool. Ladies, I am stupid enough to have not taken pics of the possible prizes so I have stolen links to those taken by others: STR Bella Coola , a blues and greens mix (2007 Rockin Sock club colour) in medium weight STR Dragon Dance flaming reds, rust, salmon (2008 Rockin Sock club colour) in lightweight (shows the club pattern too) Colinette Jitterbug in Popsicle . Note it is a lot more green than turquoise...but a very happy skein of colours I'd describe as tropical bird shades. The fleece? Well you can choose from my Rhinebeck extravaganza or from fleece I bought at Taos last year. ...
