We have a (late!) Winner...!

Hello!

I hope you are all well? I know I must say it nearly every week but where does the time go?! I have done barely 50 stitches this week and I have no idea what I did with the rest of the time!

So, we finally have a winner for my giveaway, I got myself organised and listed all the names of the entries - including the bonus entries for people who shared about the giveaway there was over 80 of you who entered, I just wish I could send you all a little something :)

So I went to good old trusty random.org to pick a winner, the number was 24!

So by checking my list we can see the winner is...

Bruna!!

Congratulations sweetie! I will send you an email so I can get your mailing details so I can get this in the post to you :)

As for me, the slimming is still going great, I lost 4 1/2 lbs this week! I have no idea how that happened, I was expecting one or two! Making my total since Slimming World 1 stone 5lbs and my grand total 2 stone 4lbs :) I'm very happy! But I am going to have to go buy some new jeans soon, I was walking round yesterday shopping and had to keep pulling them up! Hehehe!

I will be back tomorrow as it is Turtle Trot day, I won't have a whole lot to show but I'm going to spend some time now putting a few stitches in, so fingers crossed :)

IHSW Roundup and Knitting Book Winners!

Good evening everyone!

I hope you all had a pleasant weekend and everyone taking part in IHSW had a productive weekend.

I was very organised this time I even remembered to take photos before the weekend started, I worked on the new Lizzie*Kate Mystery Sampler Holly and Hearts.

I literally did nothing this weekend other than stitch and have a Breaking Bad marathon (Just finished season four - oh my god!)

So lets get straight to it with the pictures...

Thursday Night before IHSW

Friday Night Progress

Saturday Progress

Sunday!

Hopefully I will have part one of the Mystery Sampler done in the next day or so, this has been such a joy to stitch and I am already looking forward to part two arriving in the mail next month :)

You may remember a couple of posts ago I offered these three pattern books to anyone who would want them as I already had one myself.

As luck would have it I have three books and three people asked for one! So Linda, Pull The Other Thread and Tiki please email me (itzycraftcorner@hotmail.co.uk) with your address and I will get them in the post to you asap.

We had some sad news on Saturday, David's Grandma passed away after weeks of going in and out of hospital, although it wasn't a huge shock it was still very sad.

I hope you all have a great week ahead!

Congratulations! I have sent you an email so if you can let me know your address I will get the goodies off in the post to you this coming week!

But don't despair everyone else...I got to thinking, it seems such a shame that there was 84(!!) entries and only one gift...so...I have decided to keep all the names in the bowl and as and when I feel the need to send a gift to someone I will pick someone out and some goodies will be on there way! So keep your fingers crossed, you might get a gift in the next few months too... :)

Its nice to know I can send a little bit of happiness to people around the world!

Have a great weekend everyone!
