Little Yellow Duck Project.

Little Yellow Duck Project.

This project sounds like one for me - Yellow ducks, random acts of kindness and giving the gift of life - wonderful! My crochet skills are fairly fledgling, but I'm going to give it a whirl and see if I can make a little yellow duck to 'hide' in a public place. I will use the pattern provided on the website. I also have a set of five little yellow duck buttons to give away this week.

http://thelittleyellowduckproject.org/

"What is the Little Yellow Duck Project?

The Little Yellow Duck Project involves people around the world handcrafting little yellow duck gifts as random acts of kindness that are left in public places for others to find. A special tag on each one invites the finder to take their gift home to brighten their day and to visit this website to register where they found their gift. We hope that the stories and information found here will encourage them to pledge their own random act of kindness by registering to donate blood, bone marrow, organs tissues."


Send me an email titled 'Little Yellow Duck Project' before 8pm on Friday 2nd May and you are in with a chance to win a set of five Buttons by Benji yellow duck buttons (background colour of your choice).  One entry per person please.

Welcome to Christchurch

It's competition time.  Once again I was inspired by the view outside my window... and on my walks... and whenever I drive anywhere...  It's pretty hard not to see a road cone in Christchurch at the moment, unless you have your eyes closed!

So, for all the road cone lovers out there, you can win a set of eight road cone buttons.  Details below.

If you're not a winner, you can still buy these buttons or any of my dozens of other designs.  Check out all current designs on the Ready Right Now page.






How to enter.

Entries close on the 30th April at 8pm (New Zealand time).  I will notify winners shortly after that.
 
Simply email me on fuzzimama@hotmail.com with the first name of the entrant and the city or town that they live in.  If you would like to enter for more than one person (for example for two children or several grandchildren), please email me individually with each name, and then it's easier for me to use random number generator to draw the winners.

There will two sets of 8 road cone buttons to be won.  The first will be especially for entrants living in Christchurch - because they have to deal with more road cones than you can possibly imagine if you don't live here!  The second is for everyone else.

Puk Party time


Yesterday I saw a Puk Party!  17 gorgeous pukekos on the side of the road finding tasty things to eat in the grass.  Pop a puk party on your next garment.







Or perhaps some blue choo choos for your little train lover.
