giveaway on brisstyle

brisstyle.blogspot.com has just started their monthly giveaway. There are two lovely giveaways this month, one being one from moi! and the other from littledivacrafts.etsy.com. Pop over there, make a comment and you could get lucky !!

Disaster struck on Friday when I put my sewing machine and overlocker in for a service (ten years over due!), well my machine is purring like a kitten, but alas! the overlocker has gone to Janome heaven. I never realised that the poor thing was 20 years old!! ( I was thinking it was about 10 or 12!!) So now I am the proud mother of a brand new babylock!!, Yay !!! The difference is amazing and I'm telling myself I will have regular services from here on in, (at least every two years!!)

I visited glenrose patchwork in Warwick yesterday, OMG it is the best patchwork shop I have been in for some time http://glenrosepatchwork.com They have a B & B too with the quaintest little cottages. They also host retreats, fully catered for, (the smell of the cooking was divine, I wanted to stay for lunch!!), maybe some of us should organise something, meet up, spend a night or two, sew, do a winery trip etc.. Having the shop on hand could be dangerous. I couldn't resist some delicious fabric....
