A giveaway for Down in the meadow

I have so enjoyed putting this giveaway together. As I said in my earlier post last week, I so enjoy Maileg items and I just don't get to see them in South Africa so, I thought it was time to make a collection for my own home and also to share a little with you. The 'twist' comes with the knitted items. My passion is to create toys. I have added my own colors and touches and designs. All these treasures have been handmade with pure cotton, pure wool, stuffed with pure wool stuffing, cotton ribbon, threads and pure felt..all natural.

For this giveaway, the reciever of the gift will receive

1 bunting with flags, a sheep, a pig, a basket with a bird, a Christmas fairy, a duck, a toy soldier and Christmas tree.

1 gorgeous soft girl bunny holding her duckling toy.

1 very smart toy soldier

1 Christmas star and two Christmas hanging cones...

Please feel free to leave comments, tell a friend or two and I will announce the receiver of these goods next Thursday afternoon South African time~

A warm and happy day to you~!

Aaron turns 11~

11 November 1999. Aaron was 14 days over due. I had planned a home water birth. I knew I was rather large as people gave me strange glances as I walked into places. Well, after a very successful water birth, a 4.9kg baby Aaron was delivered. We were so happy. Aaron turned 11 yesterday and how sad to be sick on your Birthday. He had been looking so forward to this day. He told us to wake him up really early but the poor chap remained sleeping for longer than planned. He managed a few smiles and we gave him lots of kisses. Olivia, Brogan and I decided to start our baking and making early. We started with the very long process of bread making. Olivia was so happy with how the dough rose so high. Some handsome breakfast loaves were produced. We then baked Aaron a Divine chocolate cake. Then came the ice cream cake covered in candy treats and 11 special candles. A Happy Happy Birthday to you our Buddie~!
