Valentine's giveaway...& other finishes!

Hello everyone! Been a while since i offered any giveaway...recently, i had more time for stitching and thought to make something to offer. Here it is, a simple biscornu which can be use as a scissor fob as in the picture taken or just for a display. It is a freebie i've seen on pinterest but no designer link to it. Everyone is welcome for the draw, but please indicate if you want to be added for the draw and if possible to leave your e-mail address so i know where to contact you. It will be open until the end of January so i can send it out the beginning of February. Another freebie which i can't find who the designer is, this will be send to a friend in Asia. This is a freebie of 'Primitive Hare' and tried adding a piece of fabric and made into a small cushion. Not really happy of the chosen fabric but i don't have much choices for this design. Bought a couple of fresh fruits last weekend and wanted to try them for baking, right saturday evening i was ready to prepare them for muffins but my scales don't work anymore but the next day is sunday and stores are closed. After worked i stopped by at a friend's place and borrow hers so late last night was able to prepare these muffins. Fresh raspberries are easily rotten if not eaten or in use just after buying that is why i was quite in a hurry to do soemthing with them. Taste good and actually quite easy to make. The raspberries, i've used butter.... ...while the blueberries i've used yogurt & oil instead of butter. Both turn out fine. One day last week, i was with colleagues to the city...to the Horecava exhibition- this takes four days and everything for the foodservice industry. We sure seen quite some new things and had lots of fun too. Thank you all so much for stopping by and all the lovely comments. I really appreciate them all. Wish you all a wonderful week!!

Oh, Mylene! I was going to pass on entering your sweet giveaway because I rarely comment and didn't want to just be asking for something, but I had to come back because I love that heart biscornu. I do follow you faithfully and enjoy seeing all your stitching and cooking. I think it's wonderful that you have so many friends and that you're so busy doing things with them and your beautiful family. So here I am - please include me in your drawing. Thank you!
