Blind Faith Giveaway Time!

This giveaway is now closed - thank you for looking x
*** Flying Blind is one today ***

Can you believe it - over 350 posts, more than 15,000 page views, and almost 100 followers!  Thank you, every single one of you, for making this past year so much fun!

My first Blog picture! Shocking!
So shall I do a traditional, obligatory giveaway and make you jump through hoops all for something that you probably don't want anyway?  (Sorry, there's no Go! here!).

Or I can make up a little 'je ne sais quoi' especially for the winner? 

OK then... this means you will be entering a giveaway for something that doesn't even exist yet, it could still turn out to be something that you probably don't want, but with faith and luck, it could be quite good!!  Trust me, go on!

So here's the thing, you can have 2 chances:

i) Be a Follower and leave a comment to tell me that you are; whether you are an old mate or a new opportunist, everyone is welcome here!
... and...
ii) Tell me your favourite colour or colour combo, in a separate comment, and that's what I'll base a little stitchery-makery on.

If you are one of those folks that Blogger is not happy with and it won't let you leave a comment, you can email me (via my Profile) and I'll add comments on your behalf.

That's it!  I, (well Mr RNG), will pick a winner next Saturday, the 23rd - the anniversary of my first comment!  Woo-hoo, it's only taken me a year to get my comments numbered!

Good luck lovely people x

    Lately I have been drawn to yellows and oranges in other people's work. My stash and wardrbe are short in both colors, but they're so bright and uplifting who wouldn't like them?

    Congrats on your birthday! x

    Ok... fave colours... mmmm.... quite a lot really.. Basically love turquoise/sea blue/ blues etc but lately quite into reds and oranges too. Also natural tints like light browns/creams (combined duck egg?) but not into darks like black/red or purple or retro brown/orange etc. Anything cheerful would be lovely! Thanks for the giveaway!
