*edited 29 June* The pinwheel tutorial is here! Top left of the sidebar is a section “how to make stuff” and the tutorial is in there. Have fun making pinwheels 
Here’s what happened to the doiley/doyley/doilie! (yes, it appears I am not the only person who spells it differently every time I write it!).
I really like these little pinwheels. They are a great way to carry pins around with you to classes and such because the pins don’t stick you and they don’t fall out either. I’m writing a tutorial for you that will be available soon.
But, wait…this one is free to a good home (yes, Maddy, there is a Santa). You know the drill, leave a comment between now and Monday night (that’s Tuesday Monday morning if you live on the Other Side of the World!) and I will do a little draw. I’ve added some vintage buttons (how cute is that duck?!), the pretty yellow print that I found a few days ago (Thrift Shop Fragrance free of charge) and a yard each of these beautiful vintage trims to the package.
I get confused by all of those “leave a comment -1 chance” “post a link – 2 chances” “tell me I’m pretty – 3675 chances” type draws, so here’s the dealio…
…just leave a comment and you’re in!
If you want to show me that you love me and think I’m cute you could also update your link to this blog

You’re pretty.
(Will that do?)
Oh. You’re generous too.
Ooh, yeah! Good entry, Suse!
Wooooohoooooo we love a give away, especially when there is vintage trim.
Thought you might
ps: did you get my message about proof reading? are you interested??
Tee hee! My mother has a pinwheel like yours that she made for a 3rd class sewing project in 1957. She’s still using it!!
Wow! that’s OLD!! 1957 is the year my husband was born and he is MUCH older than me.
Vintage embroidery…. buttons…. give away…. I’m in!!
Please.
Actually Monday night in the land of pompom rouge is early Monday morning on the other side of the world…
I am always a bit tentative when spelling ‘doily’doiley’ as well, but I only have two versions to vacillate between. The pinwheel is such a good idea and so cute!! Please write a tutorial soon!!
Hi they are lovely thanks. love following your blog
You’re awesome.
And i’m saying that even though i’m also going to add, if you draw me, redraw for someone who will use these things, as I will only admire them, then lose them.
But you are pretty awesome.
OH, very noice!!! Yes you, your blog and your work is pretty Kirsty, Marg
You’re the greatest
And I updated my google reader link.
Now you’ve got me questioning how I usually spell doilie/ey/yley! Oh well I guess it doesn’t matter when its that cute!
yay indeed! I would love to win this! can’t wait for the tutorial as well.
Hahahaha! Laughing at H&B’s self-knowledge
Naturally I think you’re pretty …..you have such a pretty blog ! And secretly I fancy those buttons …..shhhhhh!
I love you and think you’re WELL cute!
Does that mean I’m in?
Love the new diggs, Kirsty! Add my name in please?
Oh, look at those bright, shiny buttons!
Lovely stuff indeed! I did not find so much crafty at fleamarkets, only some unused buttons and a couple of doilies… Love to see all the blogs again after a couple of weeks! Have a nice weekend!
I was going to say I made one of those for a Grade 3 sewing class in Australia (outside under the gumtrees no less) but it wasn’t in 1957 LOL, umm mid 70s I suppose. Anyway from memory it started with a Kellogs cereal box? Now that I am teaching my 10 year old I have had this project on my mind, so funny that I should read this blog today. Yours is very pretty and so is your new space!
SO cute! I imagine sweet little girl skirts made with these.
Whew! I get confused those multiple chance give aways too! lol However, I’m sure that you are beautiful. And certainly your fabulous things are!
Fun stuff!
Oh, and you ARE pretty!
Thanks for the reminder on your old blog — I’d forgotten that you moved! ;-(
adorable! I hope I win!! it’s my birthday on Monday ya know
Neat! Thrifting can be so fun, especially when you’re doing the driving!
So pretty!! Hope it all comes to my house!
I did it Mrs lime leaf. I updated the link. I do apologise for being late. Of course you’re pretty.
What a sweet way to repurpose a doiley! I have noticed that selvedge/selvage is another term that has a number of variations!
thanks for not making it complicated! i love buttons!
I like the idea of pins not sticking me.
I just found you- and would love to win your give away! So cute! And buttons too…..
These babies would come in very handy. I hope I win.
The ducky button is making me smile and I adore your doily pin wheel.
( I’m a doily cutter upper too)

What a fantastic use for a doily! The vintage bits are wonderful as well – LOVE the strawberry trim and that ducky button!
I LOVE that duckie button – and you know you have a special place in my heart!! I think someone keeps all the pretty buttons in the thrift shops here in Palmerston North
Have updated your blog link too.
Well, who am I not to enter a lovely competition thrown by a lovely, pretty, charming Scrabble-maestro. Even if I’m sure it would be a waste of good crafty stuff if I won.
