Hi! :)
Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my IKEA footstool cover! I really appreciate it :) I am now thinking of making a cover for my Ektorp sofa, and am thinking of using this pattern for it: (image c/o Debbie Stoller)
Whaddaya think? I like this pattern a lot, because despite it officially being a ‘granny’ pattern, the fabric it creates is dense enough for use on e.g. a sofa!
But this time I think I’ll stay away from the bright white yarns, and go for something more subtle (and easier to clean) instead ;) I’ll keep you posted!
So next month, it’s Valentines day. Since my Etsy shop is filled with a lot of heart-related products, I thought: let’s give some of it away! :) Everybody loves a good giveaway, right? Right!
Since you all have been so kind to me the past few months, I decided to give away not one, not two, but three awesome things, to three awesome readers!
Number one: a heart headband of your choosing, perfect for Valentine!
Number two: super cute cherry blossom bobby pins!
Number three: a 14% discount to anything in my shop!

Note to international shoppers: my shop will be closed between January 24th – February 4th. To make sure your Valentine products get to you in time, please order before my shop closes. For everybody in the EU; you can still order after that; your products will arrive before February 14th.
Goodluck everyone! :) I’ll draw a winner in the week of February 6th.
Alright, I’m off to do some speed crochet – our friends just had a little baby girl, but because she was born two weeks early I hadn’t finished her prezzie yet…
xo,
wink
PS Wondering why the shop’s closed next week? This is why… We’re going to Aruba!

Hi winkie! Thanks for the reminder, OF COURSE I’d like to enter your giveaway!! :) Sorry, but I keep losing track of my favorite blogs (because of all the motifs and Challengers I’m hunting out there *gg*). What are you still doing here anyway? I thought you had already left for Aruba, you lucky, LUCKY girl! :) Ohhhh, this picture of the beach just KILLS me right now! No, seriously: I hope you’ll have more fun that you can imagine, I know you will! And come back safely!

Hi there Winki, so glad your happy about winning a little ‘crafte nook’ thingy, i hope you like it, i wont be able to get to the post office now till wednesday as i am at work till then, but i shall get it the post first thing.
If you find at all that the ring is a bit big, just put it on when you do the washing up or have a bath, and give it a good old rubbing between the palms of your hands (wring it out a bit first), you should find that it felts up a bit tighter.
Hugs Pixie xx
