Hello there!
I hope you had a good week & are enjoying a great weekend! Here on the North Coast of Ireland the sun has been shining & the sun daisies have come out

the boys have been camping in the garden

to this
I've managed to get a wee bit of sewing done too... another notebook cover
But less about me & onto more important things, like the winner of the SMS Giveaway..... Thanks so much to every single one of you who left such nice comments... I really enjoyed reading each one of them & am so thrilled to have met so many new stitchy folk! So.... according to random.org the winner is
Congratulations ravensrascals! I will email you to get your postal address, but for everyone else, please don't be too down-heartened. Believe it or not, I have NEVER won a giveaway :( so you are not alone... But, more importantly, every month for 2012 I have been running a giveaway, so you will have a chance to win something nice in June (& July & August!)
Meanwhile I hope you have a lovely weekend & maybe have time to enjoy the sunset!
Take care
Karen
