Could it be you?

-

At long last (sorry about the wait!), I've got everything sorted and can share who won my not-so-recent giveaway.

Archie loves choosing numbers and I can't decide if it's the biscuits or the showing off that he likes the most.  Who am I trying to kid?!  It's the biscuits!

He was very keen to get started:



And then it was a case of 'Archie, ready!' (just like in 'Gladiators' but with less noise from the audience!) and off he went to choose the 'tens' digit:


Yes, I have a squeaky kitchen door! 

 And then (after I'd rearranged the pieces of paper) he chose the 'ones' digit:



And declared that the winner is comment number 54, Annabella!  Congratulations, Annabella!

As requested, I made this for you - I hope you like it!  (If not, shout!)

EPP pincushion
EPP pin cushion made with a selection of Japanese import fabrics.  I do wish I'd put the bear on the front, though. *sigh*



Archie really, really enjoyed the experience.  I took this photo fifteen minutes after the choosing had finished:

That was fun, can we do it again?!



I relented and let him have another go.  Here he is choosing the 'tens' digit for the second winner:


And the 'ones' digit:




Which means the second winner is comment number 9, Tina!  Congratulations, Tina!

I made this for you:

I tried to take a photo showing the scale of the pin cushion and thread catcher, the best I could manage was this:

I'll be back on Monday with a Fresh Sewing Day post - I haven't managed much as I've been unwell but I have managed to finish my final FAL Q1 item and I've also been spending quite a lot of time with my Summersville squares.  Oh, and buying embroidery thread!


Finally, just in case you haven't seen enough of him in the rest of the post, this is what Archie is doing right now:

It's a dog's life...


Have a lovely Easter weekend!

    I am completely mesmerized by Archie. What a dog! I was so charmed by him that I even forgot to be sorry about the fact I am not a winner.

    Better luck next time. I so love your English flag, so much character in comparison with ours.


    Happy Easter!

    I was expecting you to be giving instructions, like "Archie go pick the tens number!" but he knew what it was all about .... that dog could run the country!

    Separated at birth: Archie and Mystic Meg.

    So do you let him have the rest of the treats too or will he politely wait for the next turn? The winners are getting lovely prizes. I am looking forward to seeing your FAL finishes and I sure hope you feel better.

    Oh... such divine gifties. Lucky recipients.....I am glad Archie is "earning" his Hot Cross bun allocation.
    And you think your door is squeaky???? You should hear my jaw ...chocolate lubricant is possibly needed.
