I owe some people some thank-yous. First Sue and Mel nominated me for the Rockin’ Girl Blogger award, and Jade, Belinda and Corrie nominated me for the Nice Matters award. Thank you SO much, girls! I have said this before, I just love being part of this craft blogging community. Not only do I get so much inspiration from the blogs, I got to meet some of the nicest people I know — through the comments and even in person.
I’m sorry but I’m going to chicken out here, I don’t think I can name just a few people for these awards, if I pick some names I’m bound to leave some out! Truth be told I’m very grateful to all of you who have been nice enough to read and leave me comments, giving support and encouragement. And those of you I’ve been privileged to meet and be friends with, you know who you are!
Well, in lieu of passing on the awards, how about a giveaway?? My blog birthday is coming up (2nd birthday! I missed the first one!), and I would love to give some love back to my dear readers. Just leave a comment on this post, and I’ll pick three random winners out of a hat. And the prizes? Here are what you could win:
– A tote bag made by me
– A set of coasters
– A skein of Colinette Jitterbug yarn in ‘mist’
So just leave a comment on this post if you’d like to be in the draw! The draw is open to all, wherever you are in the world. I’ll pick the winners next Tuesday night Sydney time.

Hi Claudine,
I’m terrible at commenting, but I do read every time you post, and enjoy your beautiful projects. Happy blog birthday!
Happy Blog Bday from Texas! Love the coasters, very cool fabric.
PS. Great name BTW ;-D
wow! I do love the way the love goes round with blogs some times. I may not have commented before but I have you on feed with many others. Happy Blogday. Plus I’m a sucker for any post to win commenting.
Yay Happy Blogiversary! I only recently found your blog and have been admiring your work–I’m enjoying the reading!
Happy blogiversary! Your blog is a constant source of inspiration for me! That sounds so cheesy, but it’s true!
Happy Blog Birthday! I always love the things you make, especially your totes. Keep up the inspiration for the rest of us!
From one ex-market stall holder to the next Queen of Markets – gotta comment…loving that Tote – happy birfday….for the blog.
Happy Blog day!
Have a brilliant blog birthday! I recently stumbled upon your blog and I just love all the great stuff you make. I’m also just learning to knit (have been crocheting for years) and find a lot of inspiration in your work. Thanks!
more than happy to leave a comment on your blog for your drawing! I was inspired to do Girlfriend’s swing coat from your blog, and my mom did Majorca (is that the name? I can’t remember) for my daughter, so it’s great to see it in a different colorway. Enjoy!
Happy 2nd Blog Day. Love reading your blog, Claudine.
Congratulations on your awards and your 2 year anniversary! I love your blog and am finally delurking to tell you! I am so terrible at commenting, but a chance to win one of your gorgeous totes is all the push I need 🙂
Congratulations on hitting the two year mark. I’m always inspired by the spectacular things you create for yourself and your daughter. You add a great deal of grace and beauty to the blog world. It’s always so calm and lovely here, one of my favorites to visit.
heh I nominated you too you super nice person! I’ve always known you’re a nice blogger and please count me in for your 2nd birthday draw!!!!
happy blogiversary!
Okay, that bag is too cute for me to miss an opportunity to get it, as shameful as it is to delurk for my own personal gain.
But I’ll just take this opportunity to tell you that I enjoy your blog very much and I always admire the projects you take on.
Happy 2nd birthday. What a way to get lots of comments. I always read but don’t always comment! You de-lurked me with the cute coasters as bait!!
Thanks for keeping up a great blog-Keep it coming!
happy bloggiversary! here’s to another fabulous year!
Hooray for two years – I look forward to more…
Happy blog birthday!
Happy Blog Birthday!!!
I’ll send that IK this week, I’m sure it will be much happier in it’s new home.
Hi there, Happy 2nd Blogday!. You are so talented, when I first dropped by you were knitting up a storm now you are sewing too! Thanks for sharing your lovely work.
Wow, nearly 2 years. The time really does just get away from us, doesn’t it? I couldn’t help but drool over each of your ‘giveaways’, oh my, so beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing- you are very talented. And congratulations on the awards!!! :0)
Congratulations on your awards and happy blog birthday. x
happy blogiversary! congrats on the award. you deserve it
I found your blog, just this evening – looking for “serrano”…I love, love the melon shawl! Your header is so sweet and inspiring!
Hi Claudine, I love the things you make, they are always so elegant and beautifully made. Congrats on the upcoming two year anniversary too. :o)
I’m greedy, leaving a comment just because there are freebies involved, but those giveaways are irresistable. Wishing you many more happy years of blogging! (and markets too, hopefully)
Hi: I’ve been reading your blog a long time, but this is the first time I’ve commented. Congratulations on your second year blogging! Keep it up—you encourage us out here who don’t blog but enjoy seeing others’ creations.
Happy blog birthday! (PS – Loving my tote!)
Happy Blogiversary for your 2nd year. All those prizes look wonderful too, and the color of the yarn is so pretty. I look forward to another year of your blogging too!!
Happy Blogiversary!!! I love reading your blog, it is one of the first ones I check everytime i log in.
Lovely prizes! And happy anniversary!
Happy Blogthday/Blogiversary/insert appropriate term here 😉
I thought I’d left a comment but it’s missing. You are one of the most deserving recipients of both awards I’ve come across yet!
Your a very clever chick and super nice person to boot! Congrats on two years of blogging!! See you soon.
Happy blogiversary/blogthday! I have my first one coming up, it’s hard to believe how quickly the time flies!
