Giveaway alert....

Not that I really want to tell anyone as it makes my chance of winning a lot smaller.....but.....

Sew Sweet Violet is having a giveaway - a copy of Mollie Makes Christmas book and a sweet bird called Master Wally Winterbird.

To be in with one chance to win you need to become a follower on her blog (which is easy as the blog is brilliant) and leave a comment. And for a second chance to win, put a link on your blog or facebook letting others know about the giveaway (this was a hard thing to do as I really want to win) and then comment again on her blog.

Good luck if you enter. Sam x

 Not me, not yet anyway. But if you go over to Modern Country Style Sarah has a giveaway for one of two Emma Bridgewater mugs celebrating Dads and Father's Day.

All you need to do is follow her blog (which is great) and leave a comment or two to be in with a chance.

Sick day...

I have a sick little Bucket jnr at home today.

He tends to get coughs every year which are aggravated by the cold weather. He's already had one and I thought we'd beaten this year's one but yesterday it came back and sounded much worse.

Picture the scene.... walking round Ikea with a little'un who every now and then explodes into a coughing fit; goes red in the face and splutters everywhere.

It didn't seem as busy as normal in the shop, well not round us anyway. I think the other shoppers took one look and scarpered and I don't blame them.

Usually with his coughs he is generally well but not this time, he's feeling a bit under the weather. So I decided to keep him at home today and he is, at this moment, lying under a blanket watching Tom and Jerry.

On a cheerier note, I just now received my giveaway items from Anne.

Thank you Anne, they are lovely.

The heart is really soft (must find out your supplier of felt), I love the little heart hanging decoration and the snowman is gorgeous. I'm off to find a good place for them. Sam xx

Blog giveaway...

If you haven't already done so, pop over to see Anne at Marmalade and Catmint. She is doing a lovely Christmas giveaway which ends today at 10pm.

There are three chances of winning one of three giveaways - become a follower; leave a comment and/or post on your blog linking to the giveaway.

Give it a go, she has a really nice blog and you never know, you might win (but I'm hoping I win something too). Sam xx
