Ooooh- pick me pick me! Hi Ro- your garden has inspired me out of my slackness- I must go and plant some edibles.... while there is still some warmth in the soil.Hope all is well over yonder, Carey...
I'd love to be considered for your giveaway Ro. Love your vegie patch. There is nothing like a good "dig" to bring peace and contentment.
I love autumn. Your garden looks lovely.... as do your flowers, laces, fabrics and papers :) Happy Autumn to you. Karen
Great minds think alike. I have been busy digging in the dirt too, until the heavens opened. Good for the garden, good for the blog. I uploaded the results from my altered card workshop, love what one can do with the learnt skills. Looking forward to Saturday's altered book workshop.

your garden looks wonderful, not so nice to be out there today :( love your dyed laces...
it's a great feeling picking your own vegetables from the garden ....... love your work ....it is so creative and inspiring....
Your veggie garden looks lovely. I love growing things to eat but have to grow mine in containers owing to lack of space.
The ginger lily is beautiful - I don't think we can grow it here.
What gorgeous give-away goodies - I love the decorated papers in particular. Whoever is lucky enough to win that lot is half way to a gorgeous journal.
Your garden is beautiful - inspiring. ANd so to are all the beautiful giveaway goodies.
Love your work - your papers, your fabric dying, and your journals are always divine....Everything crossed I win the giveaway :-)
Hi Ro, it feels like it has been raining forever up here in Newcastle! For a second I thought you had photographed an old-fashioned columbine but, no, it is a ginger lily. Lovely garden! And the paper - love to get my hands on that; I love the way you use colour.
Love that garden, would love to join in with your give away.
Love your garden Ro. Our summer garden has finished but we have a nice big crop of leeks waiting for winter...and sliverbeet. Please pick my name out of the hat!!! Love your stuff....
Glad to see that you are enjoying life! and of course Sabine did a fabulous journal - she had a fabulous teacher!! Ux
Love the colours of your flowers, reflected in your dyed fabrics, laces and papers.
Maybe a pack of your beautiful textiles and papers would give me the impetus to make my own journal?
Have a great week, whatever the weather.

If I'm not in then I can't win--so here goes.
Your garden looks great even though it is now Autumn--We haven't had a vege garden for years--to old to look after one-well that's my excuse anyway.
Would love to win such a lovely offering, oh the things I could do with those fabrics and lace!!! Love your garden, we are just entering spring here, so we have blooms bursting out all over, my favorite time of year. Anna annagrammo@gmail.com
Ro, your garden is beautiful but the fabric and laces and paper are beyond beautiful...I need a whole new word to describe them! I'd love to be entered and can picture using the pieces in a new journal I'm working on. Thanks for your generous offer and congratulations on 600 followers!
I love the colour of your pansies. I have been planting seeds this Spring ready to get my veggie plot started. I have my fingers crossed that I am lucky for your giveaway. Hugs x
Great garden pics, and I love the laces and fabrics you show us.
Love the colours you get in your climate Ro. Here in Qld we don't get the autumn foliage and can't grow lots of things in summer when it is too hot. I'd probably kill to win this giveaway.. (I lean towards exaggeration) Great to see an Aussie in Seth's book.
It is hard for me to imagine autumn right now. We have finally had spring arrive with a vengeance and I'm busy planting my garden. I love you flower pictures. And I love the dyed fabric, lace, and papers!
Lovely to see the colours from your garden in the papers and fabrics Ro.
Ohhh pretty laces!!
Love your garden, sorta wild sorta tame, and I bet it smells delightful! Glad you got some nice weather to work in it!
It is spring here in Oregon, USA. Seeing the "fruits of your labors" in the garden makes me want to get outside and plant so I can have such a wonderful display when fall comes here. I love your work, especially your inspiring journals. I read your blog regularly. Thank you! Debi
Ro your garden looks amazing...so lush and bountiful. Lucky me to visit last weekend and be able to come home with some lovely herbs and flowers and to meet your friendly kookaburra.
Wonderful giveaway!

I would love to win !!!! Please put my name in the hat!! Hugs- Sandie
Would love to participate in your giveaway Ro. I visit your blog regularly and think your work is fantastic - the garden is pretty good too!!!

Your garden looks beautiful Ro. It is thriving. And I enjoyed the home grown produce from it last Sunday too (the rosemary is adding a delicious flavor to my meals).

What a fabulous garden, nothing beats cooking your own home-grown veggies :)
Hello! Ro,
Love the pics of your garden, would love a vegie patch, but we get too many possums, they decimate our orchard. What a lovely give away your having, yum. I went and had a look at Sabine's journal it's really beautiful, Sabine obviously took a lot from your workshop.
wow, how on earth do you have time and the energy for your beautiful garden as well as ALL the creating you inspire us with.
Congratulations on the blog milestone.
Keeping my fingers crossed for the delicious goodies pack
The laces are beautiful! I never thought about dyeing them. Ahhh, inspiration! Thanks!
Ohhhh how lovely - Maybe today is my lucky day.
How generous of you to have this giveaway!! I would absolutely love to have any of your papers/lace! thanks for sharing!
I always enjoy your blog. Would love to win your giveaway.
It's spring here in VA and I'm in the process of planting a "real" garden of veggies and watermelons. Just got my BS today! lol The mammoth sunflowers I planted have just sprouted! Your flowers are lovely.
I love your garden. I retire on Monday and one of the first things I want to do is to get a veggie garden started. Another thing I want to do is to return to my art quilts and hence would love your giveaway :-).
Such beautiful flowers Ro. Our garden is just entering Spring and I really need to get out there and tame it. I really shouldn't but I can't resist entering your giveaway (shouldn't because I have a big stash already!). Enjoy the weekend and your garden.
wow..congrats and what a lovely thing to do..celebrate by giving a gift to us..xxxwho everenters good luckx. I would love to win because l love ypour work.xlynda
Hi Ro- I'd love to win some of your fabulous fabrics and papers! I've admired your creations for a long time and keep hoping you'll come to the US - Cleveland, OH area would be great! - so I can take a class from you. Have you ever talked to Ginny Carter Smallenburg at Small Studio? She has a fabulous shop and classroom space and has some of the coolest teachers in to teach. You should talk to her - honest - I'd sign up in a heartbeat! Thanks so much for all your wonderful posts.
