It's a Giveaway

I experimented making these slouchy fingerless mitts yesterday and they remind me of the slouchy sock fashion in the 80's. They made my legs look really short and really didn't suit me and yet I wore them religiously.

I've been wanting to do a give-away for a while, so be in to win these slouchy fingerless mitts, they are crocheted from a viscose blend yarn. Kind of light and yet still warm.

 

Leave a comment sharing your favourite fashion faux pas before 11th August and be in to win.

The World of Blogs

I love spending time reading through the blogs that I follow.
It's great to be invited to share someones thoughts, ideas and sometimes their creative process and I find it a more chilled out way of networking than Twitter or Facebook

Just today I've seen tutorials, recipies, interviews with people from etsy and ArtFire, giveaways and product features. I sometimes leave comments so that the author knows I visit, it's the same as most things eh? I like to read comments on here, so think everyone else likes it too lol!

From last weeks reading I learnt what Snickerdoodles were and made some and I also won a giveaway on a blog that I follow http://christiecottage.blogspot.com/ where every Wednesday there is a giveaway and I was very fortunate to win a gorgeous fused glass pendant from www.FirstLightGlass.etsy.com where I also love this bowl :-)

I've persuaded Andrew that since it's our blog he does need to contribute sometimes and so he's promised to have something written by Friday, so a new voice to look forward too.
