Long ago in a galaxy far, far away .....

I ran a giveaway.

This lovely lady won and has been patiently waiting and waiting and waiting.
She must have been wondering whether this was some sort of scam as the months have ticked by and nothing has arrived.

But at last, with kids at school and some time on my hands (ie chosing to ignore the dirty clothes, floors and bathrooms), Australia Post delivered these goodies to her on Monday.
Thank you for your patience Hilary. I hope you enjoy them !!
(Next time there is a giveaway, I promise to be a little more prompt with the follow through ....)

Cheers

And the winner is .....

It was time to pic a winner.
The kids and I hatched a (cunning) plan that had the kids occupied for a while (and, hey, that's a good thing on the school holidays!).


Create some wonderful designs on paper.

Randomly number them on the back.

Fold and fold and fold some more.

Park them in the hanger.

Launch them one at a time from the deck.

The plane that travelled the furthest ...

is the winner!

Congratulations Quilary!! A piece of Ohjoh is yours.

Thanks to those that left comments. Maybe another one at 150 posts ??

Cheers

What could be better ?

What could be better than a rotary cutter ?

A NEW BLADE in your rotary cutter!!! Ooooh it's like a hot knife through butter.

I'm cutting anything in arm's reach.

And I now realise how much that teeny, tiny nick in the old blade (that left a single thread still joined on every rotation) was really annoying me. Aaah it's a whole new world of shiny, sharp calm.

Have you entered the giveaway - go in do it and get a freeby!

Have a great day.

Happy 100 Giveaway!!!

Happy 100!!

Who would have thought we'd ever get to 100 posts ???

There were times when I didn't.

To be honest, this blog started as a way to explore and promote my little ohjoh apron/clothing business but it quickly morphed into something else.

It now tends to be about what I make and feel like making and the odd little snippets into the crazy world of ohjoh. (Oh the things I "could have", "should have" and "glad i didn't" blog about!)

It is also an amazing source of inspiration! Man, you guys are clever! From quilts to bags to crocheted collars for trees. I am always impressed, inspired and amazed! Thanks!

And if we're throwing some honesty out there, this little blog has given me a quiet sanctuary from the craziness that sometimes is life. Hmm, maybe it has helped me keep a grip on the socially acceptable side of sane ??? (Yes, they are snorts of disbelief that you can hear coming from my family!)

But enough navel gazing.... it is GIVEAWAY time!!!

Just a simple giveaway to say thanks for popping by over the last 100.

Leave a comment by end of Wednesday 5th Oct and I'll randomly draw a winner next Thursday 6th Oct.

What do you win?? Your choice of something from my shop.

Goodluck!

Happy school holidays people! (we're expecting a visit from the chicken pox virus - hmm yes, we're all so excited!)

Cheers

PS I'm also celebrating with free shipping within Aust for Sept/Oct.

My Creative Space ....

Is looking a lot like a sweat shop.
Big order for lots of aprons but I've left it to the last minute so now bordering on complete panic ... so what I am doing blogging ? mmmm procrastinating perhaps.

Also thought I would show what I picked up from the lovely Louise (Lululollylegs) on Tuesday at Amitie. She is amazingly clever!! I won a prize on her blog earlier this year. Was worth the wait. Louise, I LOVE it!!!! Thankyou!!

Hope you're all having a GREAT day. Check out more creative spaces at Kirsty's.

Ahh autumn ... I remember you....

Autumn ...you've been hiding, flirting with the remains of summer.

Now I remember you .....

I know I said a big 20th post giveway ... well here is the 20th post (Yay, fanfare and streamers) and ... nothing - sorry about that.
I'm not quite organised yet. Yes I know, what is there to do but say here's a freebie but with school holidays, back to school blah blah blah.
Am getting my head around it and I promise I will do one soon ... maybe later this week. I promise I will .....
Stay tuned...
Cheers
