So a little counting later... and number 66 is Caroline from Beautiful Thinking! Congratulations Caroline, I will be in touch soon, hope you will be able to find the canvas a good home!! 

Thank you so much to everyone who took part, and hello to all my new followers both here and on my facebook page. I've been a little out of touch with blogging this last week, but I hope to have a little time later to catch up on everyone's posts! 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend :)

Giveaway winner

First I've got to say a massive thank you to all of you who entered my Seaside Home book giveaway this week, and a big hello to new followers too! As someone who loves the sea and the beach very much, I have so enjoyed reading all your fantastic entries, thanks for putting so much effort and detail into your answers, I really have loved reading them as they have come in!

Anyway,  down to business... I've assigned each comment a number from 1-134 (includes one facebook entry) and let the random number generator do the hard work - phew no writing out names for me this time!

So the winner is.....

Number 23 - Rosa Lily

Congratulations, I will be in touch soon to get your address!

 

Anyway thanks again for entering if you did and I hope you've all had a nice Eastery weekend. Ours seems to have flown by without actually achieving much, though I did spend a couple of hours having a bit of a sort out this morning (for more pics, click the 'Studio' tab under the header image!) Oooh there's nothing like a bit of colour organisation is there :D Back soon xxx 

The winner is...

Hello, just a quick one today... to finally announce the winner of my cushion giveaway, sorry again for the slight delay! It's been a bit of a mission to collate all the names, comments and shares, especially on my facebook page - there were hundreds of them, 516 in total including all the comments on my blog post too!

I couldn't figure out how was best to do it - the random number generator was no good this time because I didn't have a simple list of names/numbers like usual, so I had to do it the old fashioned way, with pen and paper and a big bowl (couldn't find a hat!)

It's taken over two hours but the winner is.........................
 

Nickie M Smith... who shared and commented over on my facebook page! 

Well done Nickie, if you can get in touch by email at hello@jennyarnott.co.uk and give me your address that would be fab and I will get your new cushion sent out to you!

Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really was overwhelmed with the number of people who joined in and I really appreciate all the support, shares and new fans who have come my way! I know a lot of people have asked over the last fortnight if I have any more of these cushions for sale... I have actually stopped making them now to concentrate on my smaller embroidered products, but I will be making one last small batch and running a little special offer to anyone who is interested, but it probably won't be until after mother's day now. I will let you know the details soon :)

Anyway that's all for now, hope you are having a good week, will be back soon xx

We have a winner!

 

Just popping into announce the winner of my giveaway... Thank you so much to everyone who took part,and hello to all the new faces - I will hopefully get some time soon to have a good nose around all your blogs too!

There were 112 entries in total, including a few from facebook added onto the end of the list where Blogger wouldn't leave comments... I was going to pop all the names into a hat and do it the old fashioned way, but seeing as there were so many entries, I've gone for the trusty magic number generator again! 

And the first number it landed on was..................................................

Number 4!

Which is Sue from The Krafty Cupcake! Congratulations Sue, I will be in touch soon about the sending of your prizes :)

Thanks again everyone who entered, sorry I can't send you all a little something! Anyway, hope you have had a good weekend - I actually managed some more of my blanket today (it has been somewhat neglected for the past fortnight) so off to do one more row before bed! Night xx

Lucky me!

My recent string of good luck continued this week when I was on twitter late on Tuesday evening. I was about to go to bed when I noticed a retweet saying that the 300th follower of the Janet Bell Gallery page would receive a surprise bag of goodies. I recognised Janet's beautiful work right away as I had been given one of her beach hut cards by a friend a while back (as it was so nice I've kept it and was planning on framing it at some point, just not got around to it yet). Anyway, as luck would have it, when I clicked on to her page, it was on 299 followers. It seemed like fate so I clicked 'follow' and yippee, I was the 300th follower! 

So earlier today the postman comes knocking and he has brought me my parcel! Inside were so many gorgeous things all wrapped up in turquoise tissue paper, including...

...four lovely coasters featuring Janet's paintings

...and a selection of cards featuring Janet's gorgeous seaside designs

There were also lots of other little treats in the package too including...

...this sweet little badge by Stockwell Ceramics

...this little cutie from The Black Rabbit (love the stripes!)

as well as two gorgeous seaside-y teatowels...

 ...the lighthouse one is by Charlotte Fleming and the beach huts one is by The English Seaside company

... and last but not least was this pretty candle in a blue and white spotty cupcake case, so sweet!!

As you may expect, I am delighted with all my goodies and am thanking my lucky stars that I did not go to bed early that night;)
 

If you would like to see more of Janet's lovely work, pop across to her website. I'm sure you will recognise her bright and cheery seaside style and like it as much as I do. You can also follow her on twitter.

Janet's designs have been turned into many different products including cards, prints, coasters, place mats and also these rather wonderful cross stitch kits...

Love them!

The Janet Bell Gallery is located in Beaumaris on the Isle of Anglesey, and also stocks the work of lots of other talented artists too including Andy Povey and Hannah Nunn, so if you are in the area, definitely pop in for a visit.

Well that's about it from me today, but I hope you are all having a nice weekend despite the super soggy weather! It has been raining here ALL day so I'm looking forward to having a nice cosy evening in (may even get some grannies done!)

And the winner is...

So then, my cupcake giveaway has also been running all week - thank you to everybody who entered and a big hello to all my new followers :) Before I announce the winner I also want to say thank you to all of you who kindly posted, blogged, tweeted and generally helped spread the word about my little blog and giveaway - I really appreciated it (especially cos I was a meanie this time and didn't even give you extra entries for all your hard work!)

 

Anyway I decided just to use good old random number generator  again to pick the winner because it's already quite late, I'm feeling pretty tired and just couldn't face the thought of writing out all those names right now!

So without any further ado, the winner picked at random is number 10  - which is Helen Bottrill! 

Congratulations Helen, I will email you in a moment but you will soon be receiving a cupcake-y package in the post! 

Anyway a big thank you once again everyone for taking part. I expect I will be doing another giveaway sometime in the not too distant future, so make sure to keep an eye out! Hope you all have a great week x
