I have always loved the idea of Give-aways but not felt that I am crafty, accomplished or daring enough to hold one.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">However, for some absurd reason I found myself signing up and then somehow chose to forget I ever did it!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So today, I have been sewing like a banshee (can you sew like a banshee??)... </div><div style="text-align: center;">I am making another Doll to give away on Monday (although I am not sure who would want it?) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am a little nervous to say the least!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I don't even have any photo's to show you - as I have been busy cutting, sewing, stuffing, embroidering and worrying. She is almost there...I just have her hair to do and some last minute flourishes. I will offer to embroider a name of choice as I have done for the Twins. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh and not only have I been cutting, sewing and stuffing ONE doll...but TWO, as I am also making one for a little girl called Grace! Can't wait to get that one in the post next week sometime!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Watch this space on Monday when I need to post my Give Away!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have been working on these little Easter bags for my gorgeous Nephew and Twin Nieces who are coming to visit at Easter.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">They came last year, and I made up a little Easter Egg hunt that took them hopping, walking backwards and whistling around the house looking for eggs! They ended in the Greenhouse where the "big prize" was which for some reason they found hilarious. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wasn't planning on doing one this year (just hadn't really thought about it yet), but I have been informed by my sister that the "hunt" is all the kids are talking about! It is funny the things children remember. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So - I now have my thinking cap on for imaginative ways for the children to scramble around the house looking for egg shaped goodies - and I think the little bags above will be at the end filled with um...not sure yet. I might try some little felt monsters!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We are also planning to go to the Easter Egg hunt at <a href="http://www.trevarno.co.uk/">Trevano</a>... weather permitting!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
