Sew Mama Sew, Giveaway Day: The Winner

Sorry for the delay in announcing my winner of the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day. I’m really gutted as I had a terrible stomach bug. I had to spend several days in bed, arrange emergency childcare and get a friend to drive me to the doctor’s surgery (massive thanks to everyone that helped out). What a complete waste of a couple of days, and worst of all I didn’t get the opportunity to enter any of the other amazing giveaways that were taking place this past week!

Anyhow, down to buisness….. the winner of my giveaway is

Mary from Needled

Congratulations, your finger puppet patterns are on their way to you via email.

Thank you to everyone that popped by to say hello and thank you to everyone that took the time to enter the giveaway. It would be lovely to see you again sometime soon x
