And the winners are…………

Hey guys,

I know I said this would happen on Tuesday but a thousand apologies a couple of things beyond my control happened, BUT none the less the draw has taken place.

I would like to extend a HUGE thankyou to all the companies & people who out of the kindness of their hearts donated our array of awesome prizes. And secondly I would like to extend a HUGE thankyou to the 8 , yep only 8 people who bought tickets. I will deliver the $75 you raised to the kids tomorrow at school, it will help their camp balance nicely. Just a pity more people didnt buy tickets as the prizes are just amazing.

FABULOUS prizes on offer

Oh boy do I have some FABULOUS prizes up for grabs!!! Thanks to the generosity of online friends I am running a monster raffle & you have a chance to win one of the 32 fabulous prizes for only $1 !! And your $1 will go towards helping my daughters yr 6/7 class go on their class camp where they will experience whale watching, snorkeling, sand boarding & learn about caring for wonderful tourist attractions like Coral Bay (which is where they are going). They are a great bunch of 12 kids who have been busily selling raffle tickets, organising bingo nights, doing $100 note raffles. So I have decided to run this raffle exclusively online & the kids will know nothing of it until I hand them the money at the end of the raffle. So if you would like to buy a ticket or 2, or would like to help spread the word keep reading

Ok down to the nitty gritty; I have 32 prizes on offer, tickets are $1 or 6 tickets for $5. You can buy your tickets by Emailing me how many you would like & then I will reply with direct deposit or pay pal instructions for payment. Once payment is received I will write out your tickets & send you a photo as proof. Ticket sales will go for 4 weeks & the final day for buying is midnight (WA time) Monday 16th June 2008. Prizes will be drawn on Tuesday 17th by a JP & I will notify all winners & publish the winners in a separate posting here on my blog.

For the shoeaholic

There arent many ladies I know that can resist shoes, myself & my daughter included! She is only 11 but always heads straight to the shoe section when we are out shopping.

So why not a shoe covered bag to take when you are out shoe shopping or any other shopping as well?

This one is another for the Dilly Bag ladies, wonder who will get it? I know Natalie Barr likes shoes maybe it would be a good one for her?

If you want a bag like you fave celebrity has from me head on over to The Sewing Fairy & to the Bagalicious tab under the Mums Corner section

Bag o’ bags

I am sooooo happy with the colour combo I chose for this one. Originally I was going to use black fabric where the green is but when I dug a little deeper in my cupboard  & found the green it was just perfect, dont you think??

When I find out which lucky celeb receives this bag I will update you all

Happy Stitchin

Bloomin Roses

I love the colours of the roses on this fabric. Wish I could have those coloured roses in a garden wouldnt they look fabulous?

I love this sytle of bag, & its so quick to make. I made 3 of them in one day.This also is for a celebrity only I dont know who yet. I posted 11 bags off to the Dilly Bag company & have to wait until they decide on who gets which bag. I wil let you all know as soon as I know

Need to make more after I go on another fabric shopping spree. I have been “shopping my stash” the last couple of weeks & really enjoying the challenge of finding matching fabrics.

Happy stitching

Jungle Jive

I love the look of this bag, was so much fun to make. Its another bag for the Dilly Bag group. This one is going to Bindi Irwin so I just had to use an animal print didnt I???
I hope Bindi likes it as much as I do!!

Drafting

patterns is such tiring work, you have to figure out what it is you want to make & the sizes, then you have to draw & re draw until its perfect. Then you factor in the changes you thought up while drawing the pattern. not to mention you have to get another piece of paper as someone has a much better use for your original piece !!!
