The end of a decade...
Posted on
This coming Sunday is my 30th birthday - so this week is the last of my 20s. I feel like my age is finally catching up with my life.
I have 3 gorgeous boys who are the stars in my universe; although prior to writing this the older 2 were at each others throats, a husband who works hard so that I can be at home with the boys and a huge home that if we had the time and money could be all that we dream of.

The last year has been amazing:
L arrived very speedily - I was in labour for just over an hour - I was one of those women who had to be removed from the car. I was holding him in as the floor in front of my seat was covered in the remains of several in-car meals.
I had a quilt in a competition for the first time as an adult - the feedback from the judges made me realise how subjective art/craft is.
We took the boys to Thomasland - and I got to experience the sheer joy (J) and terror (A) that fairground rides bring.
We spent Xmas at home for the first time ever - and had our first tree; I even made decorations.
We finally put the boat on the market - with the aim of moving back to NZ - no bites yet.
I found the London Modern Quilt Guild and broke out of my isolation - and have filled my plate with so much.
I have started Can't Grow a Mo' Sew a Mo' in honour of my birth father.
I have decided to start a VERY small business.
I have started and FINISHED projects.
I have 40(!) Video tutorials to be filmed mid-May
I have been motivated to follow through with a lot of my ideas.
So I have decided to have my first ever giveaway - as a celebration of the website also having a birthday. A year ago I started to design the website and write a few blog posts (although it didn't go live until May).
If I get at least 15 (my birthday is the 15th) comments I will send something to each of those people: something that I have made. It could be a miniature quilt, a pincushion or a brooch/badge.
If I get more than 15 comments I will aim to get something to everybody. * So tell your friends
So to enter:
Comment below - tell me what your favourite colour is, and your favourite moment of the last year.
Please make sure there is an email address so I can get in touch with you to arrange delivery of your item.
