Sponsors love - Pink colour finds, bi-monthly

3 years ago when I just started creating, I didn't like pink. Yes, that is true, pink wasn't the colour of my choice when I used to buy fabric or picking the colours for my creations. However, shade by shade it won me over and have a lovely pink fabric stash with all sorts of prints. It is now one of my first colour choices!

To celebrate my love for pink, here are few products from my lovely sponsors in this pretty colour:

Japanese Sakura fabric fat quarter from Little Starfish (fabrics) - $4.50 

Mavis Hand-knitted Pony by Chantille Fleur  - $15 

Apple pincushion by Squeeze Cuddles - $18

Kiki the Kokeshi softie pink by Allie's handcrafted gifts - $22

Once you've mastered the pattern, you can free your mind and enjoy the soft sound of the bamboo needles and yarn...purl purl.

Lovely Belinda from Fairythread has generously offered to giveaway 2 of these gorgeous 8ply 50 gr skeins of pure cotton from Peru that was hand-dyed by Belinda herself here in Australia.

"'Amethyst' is the first colourway in my Crystal Collection and has hues of magenta, violet and indigo. The Crystal Collection is all self-striping (gradient dyed)."
