Giveaway Time!



As promised, it’s giveaway time! Following on from my post last week about Grace’s new ‘big girl bedroom’, today I have a few prizes I’d like to offer you all as a thank you for supporting my blog… to thank loyal readers and commenters, new followers whose faces are always welcome and friends who take the time to read what I write.


#1
My first giveaway is a PDF cross stitch pattern of your choice from Sewing Seed. In Grace’s room, I shared a photo of the owl cross stitch I made her. As a prize, you may choose ANY design you like. To enter, pop on over to Sewing Seed and leave a comment here letting me know which cross stitch pattern is your favourite that you’d like to win.


#2
Second up is a chance to win a mushroom mobile like the red and white one hanging in Grace’s room. This mobile is sewn by Lecia of  The Quirky Bird, a Made It shop I discovered by chance one day and a store I was happy to find out was Perth based. To enter, just leave a comment below telling me where you would put this cute mobile in your own home or who you would give it to should you win.


#3
When I made Grace’s patchwork quilt, I kept aside several squares of some of the fabrics I had collected to be used as a giveaway. The squares are four inch and there are several of each design. While there aren’t enough for a full sized quilt, there are plenty for a smaller project. If you have a use for these and would like a chance to win, just leave a comment below letting me know which project you’d like to use them for.


#4
My final prize is a copy of a Penguin clothbound classics children’s novel – either ‘Anne Of Green Gables’ or ‘The Secret Garden’ - like the ones I bought for Grace which sit on her shelf. While my above giveaways are open to anyone, this particular prize is a special one as it is only open to those who are ALREADY followers of Homely One or who have ALREADY left a comment on my any of my blog posts in the past. I have put a condition on this prize as I wanted to thank someone who is genuinely supportive of my blog. If you would like a chance to win one of these books, just leave a comment to let me know which one you would prefer.


So that’s my little round up of giveaways. You can enter to win as many of these prizes as you’d like, just be sure to leave a separate comment for each giveaway and if you don’t have a blog yourself, leave an email address so that I can contact you. For a bonus entry, mention my giveaway on your blog or link to it in your side bar and leave a comment here letting me know you have done so. I will use a random draw to select the winners of this giveaway on Wednesday 25th April (5pm Perth time) and announce the winners in a post shortly after.

Thanks for supporting Homely One and good luck!
