Natural Suburbia Giveaway

Just the other day, I noticed that I’d passed the 900 mark when I was looking at my blog posts in my dashboard. I started blogging in 2008 and it has been a wonderful journey. I initially began my blog, to document our homeschooling journey and compile a visual diary for our family to look back on. I really didn’t realise that I would meet so many amazing people. I have connected with lovely people and made many friends on similar paths along the way. Even though we are separated by great distances across the globe, it is such a joy and comfort to be able to ‘visit’ these spaces of inspiration and have a window into the lives of others so far away.

Thank you so much to everyone who visits here and for all your lovely comments…

To celebrate 900 blog posts on Natural Suburbia, I would like to offer this giveaway to you…

 

Giveaway:

1 Maxwell Williams mug, to sit and sip your tea while you knit.

1 Skein of naturally dyed aran weight Merino wool, dyed with cochineal, (here’s the cochineal dyeing post)

1 Notebook

1 Set of 4 freshwater pearl stitch markers

 

This giveaway is open to anyone, it is international.

I am giving this away to one blog reader.

 

To Enter:

If you would like to enter, just leave a comment below the post.

To earn extra entries you can subscribe to my Feedburner reader in the sidebar near the top right of my blog, share on Twitter, Facebook or Pinterest and remember to return here and leave separate comments each time you share or follow:)

The winner will be chosen next Saturday and will be announced here in this post, please ensure I have a way of contacting you.

Congratulations to Andrea!

Andrea from ziezo July 15, 2012 at 9:07 pm # Edit

Congrats! 900 entries you have shared with us, and I thank you very much for sharing that journey. It’s always nice to visit and get some inspiration from you. SA was our home for some years and I often feel like coming home when I visit you and your family online. . . Thanks for that as well.

Please remember, if you are reading this post in your email from your reader, you will have to go onto Natural Suburbia to leave a comment so that the random generator can count it there.

Wishing you a peaceful Sunday

Linda

    Please do not enter me in the giveaway…(embarrassingly still not a knitter!!) πŸ™‚ XXO-

  135. Marlene aka Ouma Miaau July 16, 2012 at 1:29 pm #

    Hi Linda! When I first started blogging roughly 1 year ago, yours were one of the first blogs I followed. Shamefully, I must admit, because you are also a South African! It felt so good to read how other people live and do in our country (although I must also admit that I follow a lot of Ozzie, NZ, American and UK blogs). Blogging opens a huge world of creativity and all the things that I love, up. Congrads on your 900 posts, I still have a loooooooong way to go!

  173. LaVelle July 16, 2012 at 9:07 pm #

    What beautiful things you are giving away. I love tea and sipping it while reading your blog, it is really fun to hear about where you live as it is so different than Oregon, USA. I sometimes get confused about the climate though, since we are in different hemispheres you are freezing when we are hot and the reverse. It seems funny to me that you are harvesting fresh food for Christmas. Thanks for blogging.

    Oooohhhh, gorgeous, totally gorgeous! I could happily sip tea out of that cup, all snuggled, up, as it is rather windy and cold here. Love the colour of the yarn, and love, love, love the stitch markers! And what knitter can’t do without a notepad? Love your blog, I enjoy curling up each morning and reading it. It is so inspiring, helpful and friendly. Thank you for sharing your life with us! Rebecca xxx

  214. Jusa July 18, 2012 at 7:28 pm #

    That owl melted my heart. I’m not really much of an owl person, but that owl is too adorable not to love. I think it’s the ear tufts that sealed the deal. I’m actually a cat person, yet I think I like the owl better than the cat, as cute as the cat is.
