Something I adore …

If you look in the 'pages' bar under the header you'll see that I've added a link to my more photo-y blog, The Daily Meniscus - I've had this blog for years but have mainly used it for teaching.  I've always loved the header I designed for it, so I decided to delete all the old stuff and give it a little frolic in the paddock for 2012.

It serves a jolly good purpose because (a) I don't want to dilute either one of my hobbies by lumping them together too much and I like things neatly in boxes (b) I'm sure that there are some of you who don't want to read my photo ramblings and just want to see my sporadic sewing attempts!







I'm taking part in Chantelle @ Fat Mum Slim's fab Photo-A-Day meme/prompty thing …
Today's prompt is "Something You Adore" … The wind and rain are so vicious outside that I was tempted to take a picture of my sofa, frankly.  But you'll have to go and see what I decided on … and why, indeed it's called The Daily Meniscus ...






Anyway, if you think you would like to read me rambling about stuff other than sewing, and want to see my photo for today or my writey-piccy 365 project they'll be there not here.  No doubt I'll still bang on about it over here a bit too!


Please bookmark or subscribe in your readers if you like what you see … it would be lovely to have you visit me … Or when you read something here, just click on the link at the top of the page to go see what's going on over there …


Meanwhile, I've got lots going on here too .. stay tuned! …

The 365 Project & A Little FMF Giveaway - Dumbell & Tulips

If you want to scroll down to the Giveaway bit, feel free, but you’ll only have to scroll up again … mwahhahah!

Since Valentine’s Day I’ve been taking a photo a day and posting it here at the 365 project … I’ve tried to make a point of not photographing too much stitchy stuff, but bits and pieces inevitably creep in …

Here’s how March is shaping up - (I set myself a little 7 day colour challenge this week) - It’s good fun and I like the discipline of a tiny daily task.  Click on pic or link in sidebar to go to my project page.




So, onto the giveaway …

Why now, I hear you squeak? Well, I meant to have a giveaway to greet the new year, but I missed it - then I planned on having one when I got to 11,111 page views, but I missed that too …  and now I’m nearly at 12,000  … coo-err!

So, before I get bogged down in any more swaps/quiltalongs/custom orders (more about them soon) I thought I’d just do a teensy giveaway to greet the slow but sure green shoots of spring.




You could be the lucky winner of two fat quarters of FMF  -  Dumbell & Tulips in brown - I know it's not a giant haul, but it could just complete someone's stash eh?




I’m also throwing in another FQ (things are nicer in threes) of a Michael Miller fabric that I love but just can’t find a use for!  The brown is so rich and the quality is just divine.



and last and probably least (!) a little frivolous item I’ve been dying to make for ages ….



If you want to have a chance of winning 3 FQs and a little something silly made by me please pop on over to my 365 project page and leave me a comment on any picture that grabs your eye …


I’ll do my random org-ing based on the comments THERE but if you leave a comment here TOO then I’ll count that as a second entry … easy peasy eh?  Feel free to spread the word :)

*edited to add: sorry, I didn't realise that you had to signup to 365 in order to leave a comment, so you can just browse my pics there and leave your comments here if you don't want another web-based thing to  get inovlved with !

Entries close Tuesday 15th March midnight my time, here in jolly old Brighton … Good Luck!

and yes, of course, I'll post internationally !
