And the winner is.........

Thanks so much to Pomona, Jennyflower, Meplusmolly, Pants and Paper, Blondedesign and Charlotte Cottontails for entering my little giveaway. 
I loved all of the names you choose and couldn't decide a winner by the names alone, so decided the best way was to draw the winning name out of a stripy mug!

My little helpers enjoyed doing this!

And the winnner they picked was................

Charlotte from Cottontails, so well done Charlotte, a mermaid and some fabric will be making their way over to you next week. If you could email me with your mailing address and 'Penelope' will be meeting you soon! I have to say, I do like the name you picked and think it really does suit her! I hope you enjoy her.

Thanks everyone who took part for all your comments and for joining in.

I had a lovely birthday last Friday which involved a lovely thai meal with my husband and another meal the next night with all the family. I got some lovely presents including the new Cath Kidston book 'Sew', which is fab and has lots of projects to add to my 'Would like to make' list! Most impressive about it though was that my husband actually found out about it and pre-ordered without me having to ask so it was a lovely suprise!

I also got a bit of cash and have been out today and treated myself to a few bits! Well, we need something to cheer us up in the hideous weather we have had the last few days!  On the school run on Friday I was drenched! My big padded coat was so wet that it leaked  as did my sheepskin lined boots.  I actually was soaked to the skin (yep, even my underwear!). I hope you haven't got caught out in the rain!
