We are having our own giveaway this week! If you would like to be entered in the draw to win a Passport Protector, Tissue Cover, Matryoska Keychain, and some other goodies, please leave a comment on this post before midday (WST) Saturday October 4. Sarah will draw out the winner then!
This week, I have made up some placemats and coasters using a mix of cream linen and Farmers Market fabric – perfect for our summer entertaining!
I have also made up a few tissue covers for gifts.
We have started our school holiday period here, so we are looking forward to a relaxing two week break from our usual routine. Hopefully that will include plenty of time for sewing and other crafty pursuits. Top of the list is the Sacagawea costume I need to make for Sarah, and to complete the throw quilt I started 18 months ago. Lets see how I go!

Count me in – as you know I have been following you blog since day dot – and I love visiting and reading and also receiving your comments on my blog – Sarah & Lisa you have done a fab job and have built a wonderful reader base – Cheers Tania
I didn’t realise that you had been blogging for such a short time. I do hope you enjoy the school holidays, my children and I used to love them. Picnics, swimming, and long walks.
Hi, Congratulations on 75 posts. I would love to be included in your giveaway. :^)Janey Joop
I’m in! I love your blog and being able to see all of your wonderful ideas and crafty inspiration!
These are oh-so-LOVELY! I am thrilled to meet a fellow crafter in Australia. I am an American married to a wonderful Aussie man. I have only been in Australia one year. I am always looking for craft show opportunities. Well, that’s what they are called in America. I haven’t found any here yet. Are they called something else here? Where can I sell my handmade items?
Oh, I also shared about your giveaway here:

Have A Happy Day!

Thanks Karin.
Wow sign me up! I stopped by your blog b/c the cupcake looked so yummy! I would love to win the passport cover. I got my very first passport this year. A year and a half ago I was diagnosed with 3b cervical cancer. Before that I had never been out of the country. I beat the odds, 20% chance of surviving and decided I needed to start living my life. So, this year I finally applied for a passport and left the country!
Great blog keep up the good work

that key chain is just so sweet-she just about matches my toothpick holder I have here at the house! And I really like the passport holders, being on the border to Canada, this is something we will have to be getting very soon, and I’d love something as classy as that to keep my passport in!
Oh, its fantastic to see so many comments here! Congradulations on the 75 posts and I am one pleased blogger to day that I have read them all
I discovered your blog recently and love the variety of things you do. I to love “home made” jams, plus relishes and everything else like that. I hope you continue to have fun with this blog. My kids are on school holidays as well. My 14 yr old son just did over 85kms walking with Dad, on the Bibbulmun Track – a 900+km walking track in the south west of WA.
