My Gift….

… to you!  Yes, it's that time of year again, time to share joy and happiness with family and friends.  Well, I try to do that all year round but now is a good excuse for a little extra.  I'm having a draw for one of my shuttles.  All you need to do is to leave a comment to be entered.

I've chosen Holly & Wild Rose.   I hope the winner will like it.





I think I will leave it a whole week and hold the draw on Sunday the 13th of December.  
Then I can ship straight away on the following Monday,
hoping the winner will receive it in time for Christmas!


I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who visits my blog for your comments throughout the year, I really appreciate it and all that I learn through our interactions.  

I have started decorating the house and playing Christmas carols on the piano (I like to play the first one  on the 1st of December)… I have also made our "Stollen" (a quarkstollen based on a recipe inherited from my mother-in-law who had it from a German friend a long long time ago).  It's a favourite in our family and I always particularly get pleasure in seeing all the lovely ingredients in my huge Mason bowl.. all the fruits and nuts and lemon, and vanilla, and rhum…  Mmmmm!  Smells great even before you bake it.

On a last note, I'm starting to feel rushed now as I have many unfinished GIPs!  (gifts-in-progress).  Some of them are very nearly done but some I am just starting… how many days are there left??

I'm sure I'm not the only one and many of you are in the same boat, furiously knitting, crocheting or tatting away!

Here are some of my GIPs… plus some that are not even started yet!



I hope you are all enjoying your holiday preparations… and don't forget to leave a comment to be entered for the shuttle draw!


Best wishes,
Frivole

    How wonderful! I am truly enjoying bobbin shuttles now. I still don't have your rolling technique down, but that will come. This is a pretty shuttle, and I would be thrilled to win it. If not, may I purchase one after the holidays along with the snowflake shuttle? :-)

    Oh, your wild rose shuttle is so, so, so sweet! Wild roses remind me of my mother as you may remember...she loved the lovely pink single rows of petals as they grew along little streamlets in Oregon, and in the autumn the deep and varied red and orange rose hips. Mom had the patience to pick and make rose hip jelly...mine always ended up as tea for winter....i hope your rnadom generator will be kind to me,,,i truly would treasure your shuttle! Happy Holidays!!! :)

    Love your shuttles so lovely. I don't have many GIPs as I usually choose from my stash for gifts and not many special requests this year. I'm Sure you will finish in time.

    The shuttle is beautiful. It looks wonderful pictured with some of your pretty snowflakes.

    I, too, am frantically tatting on gifts - some nearing completion, some still need to be STARTED. I hope you get all of your GIPs finished on time.

    The Stollen sounds good, too.

    Glad I noticed this post! I'm jumping enthusiastically on board for a chance to win this beautiful shuttle! It's very generous of you to offer it, especially when you're so busy with your many projects!

    I also enjoy playing Christmas carols at this time. I love that the traditional carols continue to be heard and enjoyed by youngsters today. A welcome 'break' from their usual modern fare!

    I'd love to be entered into the draw. I haven't tried any of your shuttles, but I'd like to someday. It is very pretty. Looks like you have a lot going on to keep busy. I really need to get my butt in gear and get my GIPs finished. Love the blue socks in the last photo. What kind and colour of yarn are you using?

    I thought it would be much too greedy to win this beautiful shuttle when I already have so many of your gorgeous shuttles. But, well, the temptation has proven too much as this one "sings" Christmas to me and I have succumbed to the Siren's call.

    We are so behind in our Christmas decorations. With our one year old baby, we are delaying it as much as possible, hoping that the tree will still have some decorations by Christmas Day. ;)
    Your owl blanket is so adorable by the way.
    Thank you for the giveaway. I would like to enter the draw please. How fun it will be to win one of your wonderful shuttles. It will be my first...
