Drawing Wallet Giveaway

The first post and first giveaway on the new blog!
As you can no longer do simple giveaways via facebook it has forced my hand and I have set up a blog for the business, something I have been meaning to do for a while so a positive thing and a job crossed off my ever growing to-do list....but now the list has 'edit new blog' tacked onto the bottom of it.



This is a prototype of my new drawing wallet, I was testing how the pattern sizes worked in real life and thought it would be nice to give it away.
There are 8 slots for crayons, chunky or 2 standard crayola types fit. There is also a little pocket for paper. I will include some paper and they are hole punched in the corner and tied with a piece of ribbon so they stay together or can be ripped off easily.
These are perfect as gifts or keep one in your bag for those potentially stressful  moments in waiting rooms or cafes/restaurants/pubs when children need something to do, draw or play a game of hangman!

If you'd like to win this Drawing wallet just comment under this post and tell me what sort of things you like to read on business blogs.
Feel free to share on social network sites. If you do then please link back to the 'share' on your comment and I'll put your name in the hat an extra time for each share.
There will be a real hat by the way and doubtless a small boy to do the picking, if no small boys available I will enlist the help of a kitten or a chicken as the dogs paws are too big.
Draw will take place on 15th June.

    Welcome to the world of business blogs!! I've just started mine up too, so will be watching with the replies with interest. Love the drawing wallet by the way! I'm approaching my blog as a consolidating exercise, as I am spread out all over the place, and everyone can access a blog, whereas not everyone is on twitter or facebook.

    I've been toying with the idea of a blog for my business myself, but I find I forget about my personal one for weeks on end, never mind having two to post on, tehehe!
    I love to see photos of people's finished projects though. Always so inspiring for both creating and shopping ;)

    I would love to be entered for the give away please. My DD (4) has ASD and we're always looking for ways to keep her occupied out and about!

    I love to read about prototypes so maybe customers can post ideas about how to tweak a product idea so that it really works for them.

    I would love to see pictures of new products, and have access to giveaways/competitions. A lot are on Facebook, and I am not on there, so blogs are preferable for me.

    ooh, lovely! As for business blogs. I like to see WIP's and I like them to have a touch of personal about them. We're all a bit nosey by nature so it's nice to see a bit of a WAHM's life (in a non-stalker-ish way of course!)

Simple Waldorf Crayon Roll Tutorial

Supplies needed.  Fabric, preferably upholstery/decor weight or if using quilting cotton sandwich 2 layers together, you could also use interfacing in between. 1. Cut your fabric 28cm * 36cm 2. Fold in the long edges , turn them over twice approx 1cm (just under is better than just over) each time  press the folds, pin if needed and using a straight stitch sew along the edge. 3. Fold in the short edges the same way, press, pin and stitch. 4. Fold in the short ends, one end 5cm and the other 7cm. Press and pin. 5. Pin the 5cm folded end approx every 4cm, these will mark out your 6 pockets for the block crayons. Pin the 7cm approx every 3cm, these will mark out your 8 pockets for the pencils/pencil crayons. 6. Stitch from the fold to the seam, doing a few stitches back and forth at the end, this will help secure the stitches.  7. If adding a tie use ribbon (seal ends with a lighter for a few seconds), pin at a mid point in between

Top Alternative Christmas Books for Younger Children

I've been thinking about the sometimes overwhelming gift giving season coming up and wanted to do a blog post about some alternatives to the mountains of plastic that line the shelves and catalogues. I'm a huge fan of books as gifts and some of the most beautiful stories are set in the winter season, these are perfect books as stocking fillers or just to have by the nature table to tie in with the seasons change. 1. Tomten and the Fox   - Astrid Lindgren 2. The Story of the Snow Children - Sibylle von Olfers 3. The Tomtes Christmas Porridge - Sven Nordqvist 4. Winter Story (Brambly Hedge) - Jill Barklem 5. The Tale of Jack Frost - David Melling  6. The Longest Night - Ted Lewin 7. The Yule Tomte and the Little Rabbits : A Christmas Story for Advent - Ulf Stark 8. The Winter Solstice - Ellen Jackson  Not a story book as such just a few tales about the Solstice from around the world and some information explaining how it happens. 9.
