50th has gone, 100th, is here.

Here we are, the 100th post.The planned handmade  giveaway has not been finished
I have been to the hills, and didn’t take the machine up there!!! You know why.
So here it is, a selection of buttonhole threads and  fancy buttons,
Some applique pins and a Mother Goose  tin for pins , or anything else
And ,  handmade, but by Hugh, a note board with notepaper,with ample space to fill in a lengthy list under the words
“Things To Do”.
This is for any reader in New Zealand, as I cannot post the wood so easily overseas without doing complicated declarations.
The overseas giveaway will be a little later, and will be made by me, yes truly,
and will be able to be posted anywhere in the world.
So, all you bloggers who live outside of good old NZ, keep looking.
I am away again from next Tuesday for 2 weeks, again there will be generator power, BUT, no internet access, no cellphone signal, we  will have a GPS, a PLB, and will be in the Pureora Forest Park area.(p.s. flat roads in and out, via the 4WD, all safe )
So your giveaway will be after that time away.
Our wonderful gem, Janet, will be here for the home, garden, and most important of all, the 2 feline family members.


Please leave your comment and your name will go into the draw, and the lucky person’s name will be drawn out of the box/hat/basin/,  on Saturday 10th  March,  well before the 15th, which is known as “ The Ides of March” in the Roman Calendar.

Quotation of the day,  author unknown

“Friendship is like a quilt, lives pieced together over the years,

Stitched with smiles and tears,

Coloured with memories, and bound with Love”

Cheers from Jean.
