Winner!

Hello friends

Back to normal today and cracking on (still thinking about eggs!) with lots of things.
First off I placed together the squares for the next Charity blanket.
This one is now a third of the way complete - lots of work has been going
on behind the scenes with these squares.
Don't forget I'm having a Knit and Natter Charity Event on Saturday 3 May.
All the details are here - it is going to be a free event, drop into the shop for
knitting and lots of natter!
Cake too!  Please do not worry if you cannot knit, you can just call in to say hello -
everyone welcome.

I had a little 'helper' with organising the squares yesterday...
she's a little minx so we have to be careful with the knitting as she runs off with the squares!
Today is the announcement of the Decorated Heart winner!
Thank you for all the comments.  
Bella was put to work... honestly she lives a charmed life, wood walking, 
eating and cuddles, about time she did something!

This is her picking and chewing a winner...!
 This is definitely the one... 
And now the winner revealed!
Congratulations Sandra (aka Cotswold Crafter).
Please drop me an email:  hope-chances@live.co.uk

Have a great day everyone, more of yesterday's sunshine please!
Take care.

Good morning Christine. Firstly, well done Sandra on winning the heart, it's so pretty. Love the blanket design, but don't envy the job of piecing it together Christine, or is this a job for mum? Glad to hear that Elliott's hospital visits are going well. Anne x

Hi Christine. What a lot of work it takes to make the squares into a blanket ~ I love the colours you have put together. I think that Darcy is perhaps trying to tell you she would like her own kitty size blanket! Bella did her job of choosing the winner very well ~ congratulations Sandra! Take care. Hugs,

Good morning Christine, albeit a damp one here!

Morning Christine, Congratulations to Sandra, you lucky, lucky girlie.
The blanket layout looks fabulous,, I don't envy the stitching up though haha. Kitties are always 'in it, near it, or caused it' haha.
Bella takes her 'job' very seriously, you are lucky to have got the paper off her haha, so funny.
Lots of love from Patricia xx

Hi Christine. What a lovely choice of colours on the blanket. You (and your Mum?)are going to be very busy joining them aren't you. I'm sure Darcy thinks she is helping :) Congratulations to Sandra, you lucky thing. I hope the sun comes out for everyone, it is a really grey dull day here at the moment! Take care.

Morning Christine
Oh how I wished I lived nearer as I would pop by for knit & natter - although it would be more natter than knit as I can't knit lol.
Can't wait for the heart to be a kit.

Hello Christine. It's a soggy view outside my window today. Just the right sort of weather for a bit of clearing up and putting my craft room back into some sort of order. Lucky Sandra to be chewed by Bella so thoroughly. What a lovely prize to get. Have a great day. xxMargaretxx

Morning Christine, its cloudier here today, which is a shame, but we were well treated with sunshine over Easter. Blanket looks great, in spite of the 'help' LOL. and congrats to Sandra. Well done Bella.

ElizabethS said...

Morning Christine, yes me too I would love to pop for a knit and natter, any excuse for that, hehehe.
Congratulations to Sandra on your win.
I am pleased Bella has redeemed herself slightly by the work she did picking the winner out. Bless her.

Sandra said...

Good morning Christine,
Wow you have really brightened my day, thank you so much, and to Beautiful Bella for picking my name!
I was feeling really miserable as the house seems very lonely, empty and quiet today as the family have all gone off to work and school, I hate it, I love having people around me! But I will go and hide out in the craft room.
The knitted quilt is looking fab, very colourful, I have one to finish, a week by week magazine one, I never got round to finishing it, I also have a week by week quilt one that I haven't started yet too, I know you have too Christine , have you started yours?
Thank you lovely blog friends for your kind wishes,
I will be hanging the heart with pride in my new refurbished craft room!
Hugs to you all,
Sandra xxx
