I'm A Winner!

I've been meaning to post about what a winner I am for a bit now and I'm finally getting 'round to it. These days it seems that I am so far behind, that I have actually gotten ahead of myself. I have also been speaking in nonsense for days now.

So right, I recently won a giveaway over at Fox's Lane of a beautiful bundle of vintage sheet pieces! Aren't they lovely? Thank you Kate! Now I get to make something sweet with them.

Wait, there's more! One of my favorite blog sites is The Yard Art Game, I always get a much needed chuckle when I visit. Well, recently there was a giveaway and I won! I know, I know, I'm on a roll! I won this super duper cool solar powered Glow Stick! Check it out.

It charges during the day and then at night it puts on a little light show, and changes colors!!! I am way more enchanted by it than is perhaps "normal" but, I just can't help it. I am very entertained by such things plus, I am now prepared for my very own backyard eco-friendly RAVE.

Look at the colors!
It also does green but, I didn't capture that on film.

Right now it is placed next to the chicken coop so that the chooks have their very own nightly light show, maybe I should pipe in some Pink Floyd so that they can have the full experience.

Thank you to my generous gifters, you have made my days (and nights) a little sweeter.

As for you dear readers, I think that you are winners too! Have a grand weekend and I shall return with stories of stitchery and perhaps even pie!

Top prizes!

I am sure the chooks would love a few more of those glow sticks to shake their big bums when no one is looking....

Congratulations on your wins. What a precious bundle that is, I never get enough of those treasures from the past.

I can't get your beautifully rolled pasta out of my mind, I may need to start hunting for a pasta machine.

Looking forward to stories of stitchery and pie (hopefully).
Have a great weekend!

Oooh & ahhhh!

That solar powered glow stick is pretty neat, you totally need a few more to pimp out your yard...

What are you going to make with the vintage fabric? A Kate-inspired frock for Miss Ponygirl perhaps, or something funky for yourself?

Can't wait to see, whatever it is!

Ooooh a chicken rave! I hope they all maniacally cluck clucking, wearing beanies and pumping those wings like there's no tomorrow! x
