A post from Mrs Big-Head

Hi Guys,
Mrs Big- Head here, just posting some exciting news.
On the weekend I got a delicious email telling me I had won a competition over

The competition was about "green crafting" and I entered my selvedge scarf. Of course when I received the email I was cool calm and collected . (squealing and running - actually running, to tell the rest of the Ric- Rac clan.)


I nearly died when I saw all the great entries. I recognised Cass' cute bag and of course Betty-Jo's amazing clock instantly.........and then I got a bit nervous 'cause they were people I "blog know" and I didn't want to post this post in case it looked like I was bragging and being a Mrs Big head about it.
But you know what, I decided to post it anyway (took me since Sunday) to let you guys all know about Living Creatively and the exciting stuff they are doing , and so you can all enter their competitions as well. That's right I did it for completely altruistic reasons, for the betterment of craft-kind.


Actually I am still not sure I don't sound like Mrs big Head about to disappear up my own bum but I am going to Annie's place tonight and if I hadn't done this post she would have nagged me to death.

  7. Dear Missus Big Head, (having to shout b/c apparently you have disappeared up your own findament!)

    Well done and congratulations on your win. Obviously we only ever enter competitions and such for the betterment of all. It is the altruistic nature of crafters ;-)

  8. If your head has grown so big then surely your neck will have swollen to gargantuan proportions to support it in which case your selvedge scarf will no longer be of any use to you and should therefore be carefully packaged and popped in the post to me!

    HUGE congratulations Jodie - it's really not big headed at all to be proud of such a big achievement!
