During the Christmas holiday in 2008, you would think there might have been better things for me to do than starting this blog! It has changed my life, and knocked me head over heels in-love with blogging! It's like having a child; you will have it forever. Does that sound right?
I have been rambling here for over 5 years! I never thought anyone would be interested to read about my passion in creative textiles, quilting, stitching, travelling, natural dyeing and whatever else I ramble about. To celebrate 5 years of blogging I will give away 3 of my eco-hearts that I created, dyed, stitched and sewed into loving hearts.
Three hearts from the picture below are to give away. One heart for each winner. Good luck and thank you for visiting...
To enter to win my hearts please leave me a comment and make sure your comment is not a no-reply comment because I need to get in touch with you if you win. You have until Sunday 16 Feb. 2014 to enter. I will announce the winners on Monday 17 Feb 2014. I will post internationally so please enter.
Thank you Mr Blogger/Google. You so generously provided me with a tool to express and share what I do through blogging. It's obvious that I haven't reached blog burn out yet! Thanks to my readers, friends and family to visit and leave comments to encourage me to keep blogging.
Lucky find for good ending: This week's lucky find are these Wabi Sabi sugar and milk set. How cute are they? Usually when I find something I like, but don't need! I would leave them where I found them until next time I go back. If they are still there and I still like/love them, I know it's time to take them home. These will be handy to use when serving tea or coffee in bed. Enjoy.
Until next time
Nat

oh i wouldn't have left that sugar and milk set there either. fabulous find....and gorgeous hearts. you are a generous soul. i, too, love blogging so i can keep a record of where i've been and where i'm going.
I do the same thing when I'm shopping! By walking away I have to a) remember it long enough and think about it enough to purchase and b) find it there and know it is meant to be!
Congratulations your blogaversary! It's a wonderful world, this blogging thing, isn't it? I am so very glad I found you. Here's to many more posts! (And drawings -- I'm wishing me luck!)
I enjoy your blog and glad YOU enjoy sharing! Such lovely hearts. Look like they're made with love.
What a wonderful give away. I have been making some hears and putting a pocket in the back--so I can write words of encouragement to someone who needs it. I call them "healing hearts". I would love to win one of yours-- to keep for myself.

Hello Nat! I always love to read what you are up to and what you have to say. The hearts are so joyful and a delight. Would so much appreciate having one if it turns out that way! And, who know, perhaps I'll get back to blogging more regularly.Meanwhile, I like reading yours!
I would love to win one of your beautifully crafted hearts!! Now I have to tell you that I like your philosophy about wanting something you don't need and to wait it out... it it is meant to be, it is meant to be!!

Thank you for 5 years of inspirations, education, and friendship. I appreciate each and every post. The wabi sabi creamer and bowl would have come home with me, too! I do the same thing, if it is still there, it is meant to come home with me. It explains the eclectic collection in this household. :) Have a wonderful weekend. Thanks Nat!!!
I've only just discovered your blog, via petal plum on Instagram. So, maybe I'm cheating a bit entering this giveaway, as I am not a long time follower, but a new one. You do beautiful, creative and inspiring work. Imogen.
Congratulations! Love your blog--it's so inspiring. Thanks for sharing your hearts.

Such cute little hearts, and I love your wabi sabi set!
Oh my goodness Nat, those hearts are to die for, especially that first one in the photo. I'm in LOVE :) I've got my fingers crossed. I'm thinking this would be a great assignment to do with the beginning 3-d kids after the embroidery and eco-dye units. xoxo, Deb
