Hello,
I am so happy to have an article in Australia's Homespun Magazine ...
it's a smashing magazine too, full of craft ideas and inspiring articles.
~0~
Being a Blog of few words these days, I just wanted to show you my recent 'makes'.
Brooches galore....
available in Etsyland...
and finally onto this month's 'Giveaway' below... a large Brooch, which took absolutely ages to make.
Do you remember running around the playground playing 'What's the time, Mr. Wolf'?
A kind word or two left here will enter you into the draw (by the random number generator thingy),
next Tuesday 17th September, sometime during the day, UK time.
Thank you so much for stopping by. x

Love this, my children had a fad of saying this many moons ago.
I love your work, so delicate , pretty and positively inspirational.... Thank you! xx
This brooch reminds me of a little story about my son when he was working at the ski hill as a teen... a younger boy asked him, "What time is it?" and he answered, "It's Mr Wolf to you"!! Too funny!!
Haven't stopped by for a while, naughty me, but I'm definitely going to go out and buy that magazine next time I get to the shops Congrats, Australia needs to know you better!!
So cute. Linda Gerig
Ditto all that the others said, because I can't put it better! Love. love, love this one. Joan PS I put comments email on in case I win, well in the hope actually.

I don't think we know that game here in the states...I'll have to google it! I love learning stuff like this about different countries. Food and family fun type stuff. I have seen your work in several magazines lately. Gorgeous. I love it all. Very inspiring.

I love playing 'What's the Time Mr. Wolf' with the children at the playgroup I run. The giggles and squeals of delight when 'dinnertime' is called out are delightful, and is great for rhythm, counting and learning too. And then of course, there are so many goes as everyone wants a turn at being the wolf! Love your work, I am hoping to get a subscription to Homespun for my birthday!! x
Oh your brooches are beautiful! Please enter me in the giveaway x
Count me in - get it?! Sorry x
