The 1st of September always brings rejoicing around the country with the first official hello to Spring and hopes of warmer weather just around the corner. On the weekend I started watering our plants again and was surprised and excited to see the first little buds turning to leaves on our baby Silver Birch Trees – horray…we didn’t kill them!
The beginning of September also brought the arrival of a Spring-themed Sew Box Subscriptions from Craft Boxes Australia to my doorstop. If you are among the hundreds of Australians who already subscribe to Sew Box, then you will already have welcomed your bright and happy box for the month of September. All of the goodies included in the box are pictured above, and you might notice a copy of my A+ Skirts (PDF version) pattern is amongst the other crafty gems. Those faux leather tassels have really caught my eye, I have visions of them at the end of a keychain, accompanied by some pretty beads.
When you subscribe to Sew Box, at the beginning of each month you will be sent a mystery box full of a selection of surprise crafty products for your enjoyment. Being presented with a box of hand-selected surprise products can really help the crafty juices flow and challenge you to step out of your comfort zone when it comes to using different products and creating different things.
You can keep up to date on all of the Sew Box happenings and check out contents of previous boxes at the Craft Boxes Australia Facebook page.
Sew Box Subscriptions has kindly offered one of their September boxes (pictured above) to give away to one of my lovely readers! If you would like a chance to win, simply leave a comment on this blog post. For extra entries, leave a comment on the Sew Box picture on my Instagram account and my Facebook page!
(Competition open to Australian residents only & ends Friday 18th September 2015)
