Oh Thank Cuteness! - a St Ives Giveaway

Post this an hour ago and just realised that whole first half - the important half of it-  is gone - Here we go again, it might make a bit more sense now!!

Generation Q Magazine are having a thank-along (hahaha) of cuteness this week, for people to post the cute things in their lives that they are thankful for. You can go link up and talk about what youre' thankful for too. I wanted to show you my cuteness.

First up I'm thankful for my cute boys. even though they are both nearly bigger than me, theyre still cute in my eyes. Charlie at 14 is just like he was at two - thoughtful, cuddly and so much wiser than his years. He's my musician, and my beautiful, wonderful best friend, who I hang out with, crack jokes with and listen to music with.

Oscar is 11 and he's my comedian. Oss is always making us laugh, both at him and with him. Hes my snugglebug, and my little creative artist, and my buddy who will just sit with me and cuddle any time I ask.

And then of course there's my furry baby. Because I work from home, Madam is always under my feet. She follows me around all day, making me laugh with her antics and nudging her nuse under my hand for a pat. I'm grateful for her quiet presence every day. 

Other things I'm thankful for are the cute things around my house, some of them gifts, some of them heirlooms, and some I've bought. I love to see them around the house as I'm working, and having the house looking lovely and filled withbeautiful thing gives me pleasure every time I look. It's the little things like this that give my working day a bit of sunshine!

The last thing I'm thankful for is my fabric range! I still can't believe I've been lucky enough to design two ranges of fabric AND that people actually buy them :) I'm so lucky to be able to do what I love doing, all day every day. So I'm thankful for the uber-cute St Ives (in stores next week!) and I'm also thankful for all of YOU - cute or not, heh heh - for the support you give me every day in my creating and stitching. You all rock.

And so, to thank you all, I'm having a giveaway of some St Ives fat quarters. I'm not sure how many yet, I'll decide on Monday! There will be more than one winner though. The giveaway will stay open until Monday, November 28, 9am Sydney time, which is Sunday night in the USA. All you need to do is leave me a comment ON THIS POST telling me what you're thankful for, and if you feel like it, blog, tweet or Facebook and tell your friends so I can be thankful for them too! International is fine, you MUST have an email address for me to contact or I will re-draw, sorry.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the USA celebrating Turkey Day and may you all have a peaceful holiday.
