I won a giveaway

Jean from All Points of the Compass recently had a giveaway with one giveaway for New Zealand and one for overseas.

I was the lucky winner of the New Zealand giveaway.  The postie was late today and I was just checking the mail box at about 5 p.m. when he arrived with Jean's parcel.  I had won a choice of a frog pen and pencil holder or a large size thread holder both made by her husband, Hugh.  As I don't do a lot of sewing and don't use large size thread bobbins I chose the pen holder.  This will be very useful on the dining table as that is where we do our crosswords, code crackers and sudoko and there are always pens lying on the table



As Jean wanted something to wrap the "frog" in she very kindly used a microwave bowl holder.  When she wrote about her giveaway this was a choice for the overseas part and I had admired it.  Only yesterday I burnt my fingers getting a bowl of sweetcorn out of the microwave.



Thank you Jean for two very useful gifts.

  2. Maybe the next holder needs some "Frog" fabric. So glad they arrived safely and in good time, he looks so happy there. handy for the crosswords. ( I like crosswords too).

    1. Both are just great. I love the material on the microwave dish holder and soooo useful. The frog is great on the table to hold the pens.
