I'm celebrating the number five. Why is that I hear you ask. When I started blogging, I thought it would be great if some people would take the time to read my humble blog. This week the number of followers on my blog hit 500 and then it went to 505. I can't believe it, I'm very happy to be sharing my stitching journey and I'm thrilled to bits you follow along with me. Many of you have also become friends.
Its Friday today, the fifth day of the week. May is the fifth month of the year so I'm celebrating by having some giveaways of some pincushion kits I have but am unlikely to make from a pincushion a month club I was in last year. It also includes a specially made pin by Pinks And Needles.
The first one is a sitchery kit by Leanne Beasley
Leave a comment on each giveaway post to go into the draw. I'll read them all but not reply to comments for the giveaway posts. I'll also not be able to include any no reply or anonymous entries beacause I need a way to get hold of you. I'm happy to post internationally.
I have another four pincushion kits to giveaway each day so come back to see if you'd like to win what I have to offer. I'll close the draw next Friday to give followers, lurkers and readers time to enter.

I'm fairly new to your blog and am enjoying a great deal. Here's to five hundred more followers.
I don't think I'm listed as a follower because I don't have my own blog, but I do try to look at your blog every day (so you can think of me as number 506). I have a handful of blogs I look at for ideas and inspiration and yours is one of them. I love your work and I'm so impressed that you do most of it by hand. I've used your tutorials to teach myself to hand applique, so thank you for that!
Take care,
Michelle

I don't know whether you count those (like me) who have you on my Google Reader, so you may have even more that 505. I enjoy reading you, and will change to a 'follower' if that makes your count look better! Thanks for the giveaway. Kathie L in Allentown
I am a huge admirer of your work. You have introduced me to many new sites and addictions (pinks & needles, mini pin cushions) not to mention it has been neat to see what is being done in your neck of the woods compared to what we are doing in Canada. Thanks for sharing.
