I really don't think that my miniatures are that interesting compared to some of the incredible things you are all making, they are so original and beautifully made.
I suppose I am bored with my own creations and I think that has been my problem lately and the reason I've not been showing anything interesting lately.
I have been very tired, a little under the weather and it shows in my work - or lack of it!
I have also had an enormous disappointment with my Etsy shop as the first two packets I sent off to America to my first two customers did not arrive. Somewhere there are mini cushions, boxes and candles lost in the big wide world between America and Spain. They have the buyers addresses and my address, so why are they lost?
Anyway, I'm very cheered up to see that I now have 100 lovely people interested in my little blog and so I guess the only thing to do is celebrate in the traditional way......... A Give Away!
So, to be in with a chance of winning..... you all know the rules by now, I know but just in case.... ha ha! Please leave a comment on my blog and be a follower BUT the difference will be that I am not going to decide what the prize will be... YOU will decide (within reason)!
When you leave your message tell me what you would like me to make for you. You can tell the kinds of things I make and I will make it to suit your colours, etc. The winner from the draw will get their wish! Ha ha!
I'm having a few days break with my family and friends so don't worry if you hear nothing from me for a while - I'll be back soon and thank you all again for giving me inspiration to carry on with my miniatures and sharing my mini life with you all on my blog. Bye for now.
Gill hello! I'm happy with the finish line 100 of your followers, and I hope you have many more!
ReplyDeleteI would like to join your give away, but I am embarrassed to ask for the gift ... you know how to do nice things! and I'm already blessed with your beautiful Christmas pillows!
I love your quilts, but I'm going to learn how to make one for myself, because I already have the fabrics suitable for my doll's house, and your tutorial is very helpful.
and then I think that would be too challenging for you, make a quilt to give away! :))
I visited your shop and I'd like to get a couple of bottles of bath salts for the blue bathroom in my cabin ...
I hope not to be too demanding!
I put the link on my blog, thank you for this opportunity!
a big hug!
Caterina
PS: you have to say when it expires your drawing!
Congratulations on your 100th follower, and commiserations on the lost packages.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you'll find your 'mini-mojo' again soon, your minis are so pretty.
Congratulations on the 100 :D yayyyyyyy i'd like a nice shabby cushion if i'm the lucky winner thank you :D Linda x
ReplyDeleteThank you Caterina! I forgot to give a finishing date for the draw!
ReplyDeleteI think 7th March is a good time for me and will give everyone a good chance to see the draw.
It's fine to ask for a quilt, Caterina, I love to make patchwork!
Hello Gillian! In your blog there are a multitude of wonderful things.
ReplyDeleteThe choice is really difficult.
I saw a post of August 20, 2010 where there was a quilt patcwork Victorian.
It is wonderful. I like the colors pink and blue.
Thank you for this opportunity. I put the link on my blog
greetings and kisses
You make me feel uncomfortable, the quilt is a big job!
ReplyDeleteif I really had to win, which I'm afraid I do not have too many hopes, I would love a quilt like this ....

(except the great black and white border, photo ...)
but I fear it is too demanding, so I repeat that I'm happy with bottles of bath salts! :)))))
thanks for the date! I'm going to fix the link.
good day! Caterina

hola a sido para mi un placer dar con este blog y encima ver que hacen un regalo . un saludo muy fuerte
ReplyDeleteYa tienes uan seguidora más, he quedado alucianada con tus trabajos me encantan los endredones que haces esque parecen de tamaño real, que trabajo...
ReplyDeleteUn beso y haber si tengo la suerte de tener una obra maestra tuya
Congratulations :) very difficult to choose a prize...
ReplyDeleteGillian, I think that everybody has problems with the shipments to US. I have an Etsy shop too and the last 3 shipments (from December) around 6 weeks to arrive.
Due to the heightened aviation security because of the mail bombs issue, international shipping could take 3-8 weeks to arrive depends on the customs clearance time of the country.
In fact Increased security measures delay some mail to the USA. The United States department of Homeland security has increased security measures for items carried on passenger airlines. As a result, mail entering the US from around the world and including the Spain which would normally be sent via passenger aircraft must now travel by other means including ships and cargo planes.
HELLO!!!
ReplyDeleteI just adore your great work and art with minis, it's always a pleasure to visit your blog !!!
So continue with the good work!!!
Thank you very much for sharing your talent with us.
Have a nice day!!
Beatriz Martin
Congratulations Caterina on so many followers! I made it just in time so please count me in for your give-away drawing. I love your style so I'm keeping my fingers crossed here. Shabby chic is just my taste.
ReplyDeleteHuge mini hug!
Oh no!! Sorry Gill, I've already posted a comment but I think I named you Caterina. I'm so sorry!
ReplyDelete*hangs her head in shame*
Felicidades por sus seguidores, yo ya lo era y me encuentro con la sorpresa de un sorteo.

He olvidado decir lo que me gustaría de regalo, cualquier cosa hecha por usted será estupenda, pero las colchas de patchwork es algo que no sé si podría hacerlo y me encantaría tener una suya.
