ONE YEAR and a little GIVEAWAY

 
On Friday just gone this little space turned ONE, can you believe that?! Honestly I can't believe that a year has gone by since I did my very first post, how time flies when you're having fun!
 
 

So as a little something I wanted to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to all you LOVELY people who have been coming back time and time again to read the dribble that I write. When I started this blog, I just wanted to get my head working again after years in bed with serious brain fog and I honestly did expect anything more. I don't think any of you really understand just how much you have meant to me over the last year, you have been my rock through troubling waters, you've kept me smiling at times when I just couldn't see the light. I feel so very blessed that I have met so many wonderful and special people and made some very special friends along the way too. Thank you to each and everyone of you, you really are amazing.

So as a sign of appreciation I am giving away a few bits, which I am happy to post anywhere around the world. This is the mandala that I spoke about here and the book is one I love, so I figured that there might be a few more likeminded souls out there who will enjoy it too. Then there had to be something for the kitchen, as it just wouldn't have felt right without, so a nifty book full of pretty preserve labels to enjoy. I think they come in really handy for your sewing bits and bobs too.




All you need to do is to follow my blog and leave me a little comment to tell me what your fave post was this year and that's it. Entries must be in by next Sunday the 9th at 12pm GMT, and I will draw a name from that hat during the Monday and will announce the winner on Tuesday the 11th.
 
 
Warm Wishes
Hannapat

  5. Even though I am new to your blog, I love it! The colours are amazing! If I must pick, I would say the mandalas and the stool covers would be my favourites. I'm just re-starting my blog and I hope to keep it up so I have a one-year anniversary! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
    Hugs...

  6. Congratulations!!! May you have many, many more blogging years and adventures to come. So many wonderful posts, you want me to choose just one? Impossible. I enjoyed your embroidery posts, how you mixed it with sewing to create lovely fairy pillows, I love your crochet - but that's such an obvious choice, I love reading your super-interesting foray into healthier cooking...but perhaps I most enjoy those little moments in nearly every post that makes me think, "yeah, me too!" and I know I have a friend! Lots of love, Chrissie x

  7. Hello dearest Hannapat it is so hard to pick one post as I love everything you write - I can remember one post in particular when you wrote about the Manchester vintage fair and it really awakened my thoughts about places to visit that were nearby, I was really knocked out by all the photographs and the interesting things. I would love to be included in your competition Hannapat and well done and many congratulations on your Blog Birthday - hip hip hooray for Hannapat. Big hugs and loves to you

  13. Brilliant, well done you. I've almost done a year as well I think, and it does fly by. I'm going to choose the recent "Healthy Fruit,Nut and Oat Bars" post, because I made them shortly after and ever since I've had some in the fridge. They're wonderful, and I tell anyone who'll listen!

  14. One whole year, well done you. That is about how long I have been thinking about starting a new blog. I can't even get past the name.
    I loved your blog on the Linen Hares, they are just soooo sweet.

  15. Oh well done my lovely friend - I would find it impossible to choose just one post as I have loved each and every one, and in fact am always hanging out awaiting the next one to see what you've been up to, and also worrying about you when they are a wee bit late in appearing! What I do like best is YOU, and YOU shine through so beautifully in each and every post, and I feel honoured to call you one of 'my very bestest friends', thank you from the very depths of my heart for your beautiful SELF!
    This is such a wonderful 'giftaway' Hannapat and thank you so much for the opportunity to enter; I must check my records too for I think my first year may be up already too! Sending much love and warm thoughts, Joy xoxo
