The Retreat Woodend

Have you heard about

The Retreat Woodend ?

I have, and it sounds like a lovely spot

to relax and do some stitching, chatting, eating and sipping.

Abbe from Copperpatch has done a fab job

creating this wonderful property.

I met Abbe a few years ago.

Our family took a drive
to visit Daylesford Organics,

we met up with Abbe and Bianca at

Kate and Brens farm.

Anyway, Abbe is giving you the chance to win
a weekend at the retreat with your friends or family!
To see all the details
read this post
But the giveaway does close today,
only a few hours to go, so hop to it.

I can't wait to try
http://www.theretreatwoodend.com.au/
for myself!

All the best for your new business venture Abbe!

Day 30 - We Have A Winner!

Thanks for all the entry's in my Santa Sack Giveaway

I never tire of making these, sitting, stitching,

thinking about the children they are heading off to,

thinking, will the Santa Sack be placed on the

end of a bed, hanging from the mantle or under the tree.

We hang ours from the mantle.

Anyway, down to business.

I asked "Ozzie" if he could pick a winner.

(he would not put the wig on for a pic though) 

out of my giant T.G Green Cloverleaf tea cup.

He gave them a stir...

And another stir...

And pulled out Catherine's comment - Yippeee

Congratulations Catherine from A Time To Create!!!

I wonder if she is still up,

I know she is a bit like me and wanders around blogworld late at night,

hope she is.

Can you let me know if you would like denim or linen

and what name you would like on your Santa Sack Catherine

that would be great :)

See you all tomorrow

Jacqueline.

Here are some goodies I have bought from Brenda at

Red Stitch Designs

to decorate ZippyZippy HQ. I love decorating my space with

handmade items created by others.

Brenda is also a fellow Madeit seller,

you can find her store here

And here are some more. I love the fabrics and colours Brenda uses,

and they are so well made, absolutely stitch perfect.

This parcel was wrapped in recycled sewing patterns :) 

You can really tell that Brenda enjoys creating her goods.

You can also find Brenda's handmade creations at

Shop Handmade Canberra,

a beautiful store in the city, full of lots of handmade goodness. 

I visited in January and purchased the hearts and pear

And also the book, which Brenda is featured in.

Brenda is having a giveaway of 2 cute little hanging owls, over on her blog.

All you need to do is follow

Easy

Have a great Wednesday
