Christmas To Come Giveaway ..

Hello my dear friends,

you won't believe this ... Christmas has just been and I am already working on Christmas to come!

Maybe be it's because it still snows here in Ontario every other day (our last snow storm was just two nights ago) or it's because I wasn't able to concentrate much on Christmas creations this past year with everything that going on in my life ~ I am not sure.

What got me actually started was a short visit to our local Goodwill store one morning where I found some lovely cotton yarn in a light gray shade spun with a silver thread ... so beautiful! 

Late that evening sitting down in my favourite place in our dining room and wanting to relax, I thought of crocheting one of my little flowers just to see what it would look like and then found myself not wanting to stop in the end. I must have crochet for at least an hour and 25 flowers later it was 1 am in the morning and it was time to go to bed.  

I seemed to be so 'hooked' on crocheting my tiny blooms, that after waking up the next day and after making a coffee and turning the wash machine on, I found myself in the same place as the night before again with my crochet hook and silver yarn happily working away. I am actually thinking of turning the entire ball of yarn into flowers ... I wonder how many it will be?!

I am also already playing with a few thoughts of what I am going to use all these little pretties for and I think they will become a part of  this years home made Christmas gifts ~ but that's all I am going to 'give away' for now.

I would also love to design a little crochet star this year. I know there are some of them out there already and I had tried out a few but there was always something I didn't quite like about them. Right now I am not happy just yet with my design. I am hoping to finally be able to do a little 'Christmas in July' this year and that is where I will share it, if I get it right.

And last but least ...

... how about this?

A giveaway with a little twist!

Who ever guesses how many little crochet flowers I am able to make from the lovely yarn will receive one of my Christmas creations that I am going to make with them. I will draw the winner in the first week of July and if there is more than one correct answer I will put all those names into a jar and draw the final winner from there. The winner will receive one of my creations just before Christmas ... I just thought it would be something neat to do!?  Oh ... almost forgot! If the is no correct answer all names will go in a jar and the winner will then be picked from there.

 And this is the twist ...

... for the winner it will be a surprise Christmas gift because I am not planning on sharing what I am going to create with these little blooms until just after Christmas. I know it's quite a while away between starting this giveaway, announcing the winner and then actually mailing the gift to them, but I am in love with the idea. Why? It's almost like being a child again, waiting all year for Christmas to come and then to see if there is a surprise waiting under the tree.

There is one tiny rule to this giveaway though and that is that you are a follower of Todolwen ... that's all!

So ... if you would like the chance to win something small and neat for Christmas, just leave a comment on this post.

I am already so excited about this and I hope you all think this is a neat idea too. Now I better get my skates on and decided on what I am going to create for this giveaway.
