Sewing Book Winner

Thank you to everyone who entered my giveaway to win a copy of Emma Hardy's My First Sewing Machine Book.


A winner has been drawn at random and I'm pleased to announce that Alison from Life At Sylvan House is the lucky winner. Can you please let me have your address so that I can get the book posted out to you.

My own learning to sew plans have been put on hold until after the new year. Daniel came home from university on Friday so the house is full once again and it's very busy in the run up to Christmas. I still haven't finished my gift knitting for Christmas so I shall be concentrating on getting that done in amongst the rest of the chaos this week. At least we trimmed up last week so we're ahead on one thing this year, I've been known to be putting up the tree on Christmas Eve before now.

  1. Oh that's brilliant, thanks so much Jo! That's cheered me up no end as we're sitting in the dark here! No power since this morning as the electricity cable from our house to the mains has bust. Likely to be a tree root that caused it. I will email you my address and thanks again! :-) xx

    1. I think Alison intends to pass the book on to her daughter, I'm sure there'll be lots of lovely projects which catch her eye. It's wonderful to see the younger generation involved in crafts.

    1. Thank you. My mum and dad are coming round on Christmas Day but it's nice having Daniel home for the holidays to spoil a little.

  4. We must of both decided to do our Xmas trees before we usually do, as I quite often put mine up in the last week. I do hope Alison is pleased with her book and gets a lot of "sewing" enjoyment from it. Take care.

    1. I usually try to get my tree up around the second weekend in December but it doesn't always happen, I was on time this year though.

    1. I'm exactly the same. I'm such a slow knitter that it doesn't really matter when I start, I'm always finishing up on Christmas Eve.
