And the winner is...

Thank you all so much for an amazing response 
to my latest Grandma Daisy pattern giveaway...

I did find it hard to find a way of picking a winner...

So I thought I would be very conventional...
for me anyway...
And give a free pattern to the very first
and very last comment...

Thank you
and
Melody 
(Can you e-mail me your details...that would be great)

and Congratulations!!!

I will be listing the pattern for sale on etsy
so if you would like to grab a copy
please take a look...

At Home...
I have been spending a few afternoons
in the vegie patch...

With the amount of rain we have been having
it is looking more like a jungle patch...


The basil plants are fantastic...

 
And that mass in the middle of the patch
is three tomato plants...
They are suffering a bit from the wet weather
but we should have about 30 large tomatoes on it to harvest in a week...
and in front of them is a row of baby tomatoes
which we have been picking already...
 
Lots of other vegetables too...

Finding time to spend out in the garden is just what I need...

It clears my head a bit...

and is so relaxing...

***
I would also like to send my best wishes
to all of my dear sweet friends living in Queensland...
 I do hope you are all safe...
and your family and friends are too...

Stay high and dry!!!

Grandma Daisy...

Grandma Daisy
is my latest design...
I am very excited about this new pattern
and do hope you will be too...




If you would like to leave a comment
I will draw a lucky winner by the start of next week
and one of my lovelies will be the first to receive a free copy of the pattern...

I am about half way through writing it out on the computer...
So there will be nothing better than a deadline...



I did find that the older I get 
The harder it is to get up once down...

Thank you my dear
for adding to the flickr group...

I am so amazed at the amount of work
and time that you must have put into this
gorgeous blanket...

and LOVE seeing it...

It has put a huge smile on my face
and a warmth in my heart...

I have decided that this year I will be putting
more time and effort into my work...

I hope to organize at least 3 classes a week...
plus pattern writing time...
and not forgetting blogging time...

I have almost finished the front of a new cushion
and have written the start of the pattern out...
On lots of lovely scrap paper....
and just need to pick up some extra wool
when the shops open back up again...

I am really excited about this one...it's very pretty...

I do hope that everyone's New Year is starting
out happy and bright...and full of inspiration and Love...

And thank you all so much for sharing your granny goodness
just like Lady Colori has...
