teacosy and giveaway

Teacosy

It's very sad that this teacosy is not going to be a permanent fixture in my kitchen but I am glad it will be going to a good home in just a few days time.  I absolutely adore it and hope that whoever wins it will adore it as much as I do.

That being said, the giveaway.  Have you entered yet?  I've noticed that there are not a lot of entries and are wondering if the degree of difficulty (writing a poem using 10 or more of my words of the day) is proving a little challenging?  Writing a poem is a little confronting, but I'm not judging them on their poetic merit.  The winner will be drawn randomly so please feel free to make up any nonsense you like.  If it helps I am more than happy to have a go too but be warned - the result could be a violent butchering of the English language.

For all the details on winning this teacosy, please visit my post here - oh and feel free tell your friends too!

I would LOVE to win your fabulous tea cozy but my brain isn't cooperating and every time I look at your words I go blank. Its bad enough the tooth fairy has to write a poem tonight. Ahhhh. I'll keep thinking.

Oh crap I kept waiting for the post letting us know we could let loose on the poem but I must of missed it! I really should be packing but boy oh boy that tea cosy is super cute and is calling me .... "Mummy, mummy I want to come home"!

p.s my poetry sucks BADLY but I'll give it a red hot go.

Here we go........

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!!


There you go....xxx
