I Am So Lucky


To win a giveaway is so special to me. There is something magic about getting something in the mail from an artist far away. I should have shown this earlier but here it is. Roxanne Handelong has an extraordinary way of expressing her art. And she was so generous to donate one of her ACEOs for Stacys giveaway on her birthday.

The painting is called "She Belongs". And I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. There is just something special about it that I can not put words to. You should check out Roxannes blog and see more of her art. She also has an Etsy shop

Thank you Stacy for winning this painting - and thank you Roxanne for sharing your art in this way!!

Well, this should be more than enough. But I was lucky again. I won a knitting book from Meretes giveaway and I could nearly not believe it. 

The book has just been released and is all about jackets with a huge amount of various patterns and shapes. 

Eye candy and it makes the fingers wanting to just hit the needles. 

Thank you so much Merete. Her blog is really worth a visit - she is such a skilled knitter and I always enjoy reading her posts. A light in the daily life.

Lucky me - I am so thankful for winning such wonderful gifts. Thank you both very much!!!

    Det er nok fordi du fortjener det også!

  5. Roxanne is a talent artist--I have won a giveaway (or two) from her in the past and I just treasure her work! I'm looking forward to seeing some of these jackets on your needles--they look like your style-very colorful! Snow is nearly gone already here!
