Halfway...Blogtoberfest 2010 - Day 15

So far so good. Half way with Blogtoberfest and I've posted everyday!
Todays post is "a bit of this and a bit of that" disguised as a coherent post by the nice headings!

A Call for Help
Do you want to help a fellow quilter and scrap manage at the same time?
Colorado Lady has put out a call to help her accumulate over 4,000 2"squares (she'll take scraps that will yield 2"squares). Details here:

The Yo-Yo Tree
It's finished, well finished in the sense that I should have put on a hanging sleeve before I sewed the binding down.

I love these little guys, they are such fun to make...

I like to quilt. I like to crochet. WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT??????

The End

Today is the end of the two week long Fall into Fall Quilt Bloggers Giveaways. Hectic and Funfilled are two words I'd use to describe taking part in the whole giveaway thing.

I'm looking forward to drawing my winner this evening - some lucky person will have some nice Christmas fabric coming their way.

I'm also looking forward to seeing if I will win anything from all the blog giveaways that I entered .

Even if I come away with nothing, I have to say that if the great people I've "met" count as a win then I'm a winner already! Don't mean to sound mushy and smarmy, but if quilters and crafters governed the world there'd be a whole lot of goodness going around and not a war in sight!

thanks for taking a peek over the fence...

Stop Press

*Squeals of delight* I won the Fall into Fall giveaway from Samelia's Mum. *Squeals of joy*

My Creative Space

Crocheting a granny scarf for a friends birthday this Saturday night.
The plan was to crochet 10 squares on Tue night, 10 on Wed and 10 today - first day off in 7 days...*sigh* - and join them tonight.
Like all good plans, it hasn't gone to plan...only 12 made...

...back to the grannys...the sunshine...and the mint slice!


So grab your piece of sunshine, biscuit optional, and check out some other creative spaces over at Kootoyou

Have you seen my 100th POST GIVEAWAY ? Drawn Sunday 22 August.

I'm putting together a nice little prize package...

A little bit of Crochet in my life

Sorry about the enormous in-yer-face pic.
Yes, I am a Dr Who fan (it's a whole family thing)...but the reason this gigantic photo is here you ask?
Look over the Doctor's shoulder, at the little bit of bench seat...Ah now you see it don't you!!!???!!!

GRANNY SQUARES!!!!!

This was the only photo on the official BBC site that gave even this tiny glimpse and I had to make it Large so you could see what I see. But the rug was HUGE. It COVERED the entire bench seat. It is gloriously MULTICOLOURED

Forget Dr Who, I want the rug...(and a better picture, but I don't do piracy...)
