rabbit and bag, a prize to be won!
Roma of Craft Odyssey had bought some wool which was very colourful (see the post) and after turning it into a bag and a very attractive rabbit, offered it up as a prize. I entered, just for fun, after all how often do you win a lottery or raffle? And I do hanker after one of her more historic rabbits. (I have so much stuff. How could I justify it?)
Last year was, well, unproductive for me. To say the least. Events somehow kept on snatching me away from my plans. My health pre-occupied me. My blog was neglected. WordPress itself was ignored. My learning was interrupted. My heart was downcast. Each day I would promise myself that tomorrow I would sit at the computer and do something, but another day would pass.
The email from Roma arrived to notify me of my momentous win- Yes, way down here in Australia, I had won the bag and the little rabbit! But it was ignored. I’d reply tomorrow, then the next day then … it became easier to put it out of my mind. The parcel arrived, very soon after. More excitement and it was so cute. Still ignored. The Craft Odyssey blog post announcing my win? No response from me.
flowers for you from my garden.
Do I have an adequate excuse? No, how could I? Such generosity from Craft Odyssey, to donate her work and then to post it all the way from the UK to rural Australia. The gift delights the children who visit as does the story of how it comes to be here. The win thrilled me; the arrival thrilled me; I am ashamed.
Craft Odyssey, thank you a thousand times. Forgive me ten thousand times.

Get away with you,
I know just how life can get in the way of …. well EVERYTHING,
I’m soooo pleased you and the visiting children get some pleasure from my use of oh so eye hurting red yarn LOL,
thank you for being so gracious! I’ll take some photos of one little sweetheart playing with both- she’s Aussie mother, PNG father and absolutely beautiful. Comes and helps me garden- she’s four! and a great help.
The last few months have been difficult.
I’d love to see your little gardening partner in action, take care of yourself xx
Yayyyyyyyyyyy! I think this Thank You is marvelous. Even with wedding presents, you have a year to send a thank you note! And I must say – you are a good soul, Mrs. P!
