panic can lead to good things

what's that you say - panic leads to good things? how does that work?!
Well, it works for you....
It would be an understatement to say that after two weekends away the household for the whizzme clan was very much in disarray. My to do list had reached two pages when I just gave up writing things down - where to start? Then we hit panic stations. Friday we were informed that my car I had recently battered with a few walls and fences was finally going in to be repaired on Monday - no problems, all weekend to clean the travelling brothel out. Stay with me, there is a good ending to this story! Then later on Friday, more good news, our new couch for the spare room was arriving Monday too. Those of you who have seen our spare room recently, know that space is not a premium in the craft, come storage, come washing haven. So, we did, what any family would do and panicked! It took most of Saturday and all day Sunday to sort through our treasure trove to leave a car load of goods for the local charity shop, a bag of goodies for the school, some gifts for friends and family and of course, what you've been waiting for....giveaways.


Fuzzy Wuzzy is a collection of beautiful mohairs and silk fleece for felting.
Hippie Chick is a collection of handspun and hand dyed wool yarn.

I'll be posting winner's on Friday. Good Luck

P.s.the new couch has become my favourite crafting spot already!

It must be the weather, Caityquilter is cleaning out her magazines. I rather like the fancy schmancy colour range.

I'm not here for the yarn - got me plenty of that already - even some blue yarn ;). Just dropped by to say thanks so much for the pressie, the fabric will look gloriously blue in my stash and the lil softie is so cute. xxx
