Retromummy Giveaway

One of my favourite and most visited blogs is that of Retromummy. I must admit that I visit her blog daily, buy fabrics from her shop, know her kids by name, have met her and converse with her by email regularly. Her blog is entertaining and well worth a daily visit.

At the moment Corrie is running an amazing giveaway, offering fat quarters in each of the fabrics from Rosalie Quinlans "Sweet Broderie" range! So 14 fat quarters!! Just click the link below for your chance to enter in the giveaway, and check out Retromummies blog while you are there!

Thankyou Retromummy!!

I have been learning to knit to a scarf, which will end up being for winter 2011 or 12, and was hoping to learn to crochet too. Hmmm....too hard.

Then I got the idea to email the talented Retromummy and ask her very sweetly, in my sweetest typing :-D if she would crochet my girls a hat each. I just knew that she would have them done in no time at all. If the girls had to wait for me to learn how to start to crochet, then how to read a pattern etc, they would never get one.

And look! Voila! Two gorgeous hats thats are being sent out today, the girls are excited, and I am excited as I might just borrow one too :-)

The best thing about Retromummies crocheted hats is that, if you can read a crochet pattern, she has given the pattern away for FREE on her blog. But, there is a rule. You are to use the pattern for private use only, no selling of the products made. So, you can make crochet hats for all your friends and family for gifts. Yay for us!! (Not for me, cause I can't crochet, lol)
So, get crochet-ing
