[Editited] And yet, another GIVEAWAY!!!

[Edited] I changed the deadline until 14, June (Sunday), 2009!
So you have more time to join in!!

*******************************************************************

Hi again, here is yet another GIVEAWAY!

I don't know why but, I'm so grateful for everyone around me, especually this year more than before.
Probably, I think I have not been in good health, suffering from the side effect of medicines...
So I'm quite nervous more than before and so I really appreciate for everybody who care about my health a lot...

So, this year is a thanks year, and so here is another small token of my gratitude.


I made another pinkeep with Lilly of the valley design © Les grilles de Maryse, as I want everyone to "BE HAPPY!"

I stitched on 28ct Stoney Creek Dyed Fabrics (Antique Pink) with DMC (#470, #3865).
On the photo, flowers colour doesn't show up much, but in the real life, it's fine!

Here is a photo of backing fabric I chose for this pinkeep.
Lilly of the valley & Roses??? a bit funny, though, it's OK! :D


Here are some close up photos...


I put rose (again?? lol) , what do you say? a little ornament (?) on the top of this pinkeep.
This time I didn't add tied ribbon, leaving this aside quite simple and nice, I think...

If you would like to join in this Give Away, it's just simple, just leave a comment ON THIS POST ONLY for this Pinkeep, and please post about my Give Away on your blog.
I will also draw the winner 14, June (Sunday) in Japanese time, so you have more than 1 week!

This Give Away is for everone who even doesn't leave comment regulary, first visitors, 日本の方, friends, not cross stitcher, everybody can join in!
Please feel free to leave your comment here!

ご応募は、この日の投稿にコメントを残してくださいね!

Of course you can enter both GIVEAWAY!!
Have fun!

Take care.
Thanks for your visit!

Hey, Yuko, both of them are gorgeous. Maryse's freebies are always lovely and you stitched them wonderfuly. They seem so delicate on your fine photos. You are also such a good photographer! I was just telling Carol that you are the finest photographer I know in this stitching blogosphere.

I just wish all the best. We couldn't stay without all the beauty you stitch, photograph and show us from time to time.

Lovely, Yuko. I think the pink background really brings out the green/white of the Lily of the Valley.

The rose accent is just the perfect touch.
