My Second Blog-i-versary, and a GIVEAWAY!!!

The Giveaway is now closed - please see the results here :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY! 2012 went by in a flash, and here I am about to embark on my 3rd year of blogging :)

As per my first anniversary post last year, I'd like to celebrate the passing of the old year, and the coming of the new one by giving back to the sewing community and by holding what shall now be my ANNUAL GIVEAWAY (yay!)

  
  And here's the list of goodies in my special sewing-bundle of fun :)

  1. A brand new copy of Burda Style Magazine.

     The January 2013 issue (natch ;) !).

  2. A handy-dandy little Measuring Gauge - 14 different measurements from ¹/₈" up to 2" 
     (I have a few of these things scattered strategically around my sewing room!)

  3. A pair of lovely sharp Thread Snips - just perfect to keep right next to your sewing machine.
  4. A useful Magnet - to help you quickly grab any spilled pins in a hurry - without pricking your fingers.
  5. A cute elasticated Wrist Pincushion - have your pins (and needles too) with you wherever you may
     wander.

  6. And, finally what I consider "le pièce de résistance" a Tailor's Pressing Ham -
     approximately 24cm long x 14cm wide x 12.7cm tall (9½ x 5½ x 5 inches).

     BTW - The last 2 items are hand-made by yours truly! (Tutorial posts to follow imminently.)
 

And... just 'cos it's to celebrate the 2nd year of my blog... I'm giving away 2-SETS of everything. So, yup - there will be 2x lucky giveway bundles up for grabs :)

Yup - you're not seeing "double" LOL! I'm giving away 2-sets of 1 of everything you see above :)

P.S. Sorry for the late at night time post... I have just finished stuffing and stitching together the pressing hams so I could take their photo for the pic above (hehe!).
