On a hot and suffocating night, the type of night where you really couldn't give a rats about how your photos look or the fact that people can see all the clutter you live with...cut out and place poetry entrants in a bowl...
Have 6ft 2 son with giganto hands stir the entrant broth...
Finally have son draw out the winner...
There! Congratulations Leonie!! You have won the tea cosy! Yippee, Yahoo, unreal banana peel, I'd do a little dance if it wasn't so freaking hot, woo hoo.
Leonie's poem was a long one but a goody. Leonie did message me alerting me to the fact there are a few typos. I've cut and pasted it directly from her comment. I hope you don't mind Leonie...
There once was a little girl with a star in her name
that drempt of material and creating was her game
she loved vintage, craft and retro too
she even started a blog and began to listen to you
well one day and angle came from the sky
and sat on a tree and made a wish for her to fly
confused she looked up at the angle dressed in red
"What seamstress did you see before you wend to bed?"
I'm not going to participate in flying today
because those wings need fixing Horray!!
Inspired to toss the wing out with the junk
The little girl set to work with the fabric in her trunk
While the angle sat drinking tea
the little girl started sewing for free
fresh off the machines the wings were fixed
the hardest bit was they were made of sticks
Lilly was her name
the angle that came
she made a wish when she went
that poverty disappeared and SOUL was sent
To this day
that little girl that pioneered the way
will never forget the stunning red wings
the color of beet-root suitable for only kings!!
Isn't it a beautiful story? Thank you to all of you that entered the poetic giveaway. I wish I had a teacosy for every single one of you...you all deserved it.

Firstly, I love how you just gloss over the bit about giving birth and the 16.5 years in a fraction of a sentence.
Secondly, with a poem like that Leonie should stand up and be proud. And wear her lovely tea cosy on her head for a day or two in celebration. If it wasn't so freakin' hot.
I'm fourteen months into step one of your tutorial.
Hooray for Leonie. You know, that gorgeous colourful tea cosy will fit so very perfectly in her bright and colourful kitchen. It was meant to be...
