Congratulations Marilyn! New Giveaway

First of all, congratulations to Marilyn for winning the Crafty Kids magazine from the last giveaway!  Email me with your snail mail information please, Marilyn, and I will get that right out to you.

I am getting ready to be in a new round robin - this one is an Under the Sea theme.  So, I was digging around in the stash to see what type of fuzzy yarns I have for seaweed, etc.  I found over 20 skeins of eyelash, boa, chenille, feather, etc. types of yarn so I think I should share the wealth a bit.  The first item in this week's giveaway is approximately a yard each of each one of the textured yarns I found in my stash. 

The second item is this cross stitch kit.  It is cute but I don't think I'll ever get around to doing it.

The 3rd item is a Bucilla crewel kit called Floral Butterfly.  I have pretty well gone off crewel completely now so I'm not going to work this one up myself.

The last item is a do it yourself diaper kit with pattern and fabric already cut out.  Honestly, how long has this been sitting in my stash?  My babies are both in their twenties!  Even if I made this I have strong doubts I could convince either of them to wear it!  roflol

This week there are even more ways to enter!  So, here is how the giveaway works:
1. For one entry leave a comment telling me something you are celebrating!
2. For a second entry, become a follower or let me know you already are in a separate post.
3. For a third entry, blog about this giveaway and leave me another comment with a link to the post.

4.  For a 4th entry, visit the Crazy Quilting International blog and come back and tell me in a separate post something you saw there you would like to try!

5.  For THREE extra entries, become a follower of the Crazy Quilting International blog and come back and let me know.

Good luck!

Yippee - I really wanted to win the book so I can come up with things for DGD to do when she visits. Hmmm. Celebrating. Well, my birthday was earlier this month but that probably doesn't count. I guess I'll celebrate the rain today. Even though we were promised hot and sunny, the weatherman reneged last night but the water table is still really low so the farmers say we need more rain.

Giveaway Day! (CLOSED)

I am very happy to be joining in the Giveaway Day through Sew, Momma, Sew .  I have chosen to share one of my finds from a shopping trip, or treasure hunts as I think of them.  This is an antique sewing box -  I could not resist it when I saw it for sale!  Were you able to guess the item from the sneak peek earlier in the week? The box itself is fairly small, 8 inchs X 6 inchs and 4 inches high (20 cm X 15 cm and 10 cm high).  From my research it is of Asian origin. Inside the sewing box is lined with hand-painted silk.  The inside of the lid features a neat little needlebook. In the bottom of the sewing box there are more beautiful hand-painted blossoms and an attached pincushion.  I hope you are as charmed by this little box as I was when I found it and that you will enter my giveaway.  I will be pleased to mail internationally so everyone is invited to enter. To enter, visit my Etsy shop and then come back and leave me a comment telling me which item you like best.  Feel fr

BAS - Week 79 - Feather Stitch Variations

I have about the next twenty BAS stitches scheduled and by happy coincidence this week's BAS is a series of Feather Stitch variations which coincide with this week's TAST stitch if you are following.  So, we can hit two birds with one stone!  These hardly look like feather stitch but they are.  They are created by making the "v"'s of the feather stitch vertical on the inside.  Very simple to do but a different look to an old stitch.  The second variation is created by doing two feather stitches at a time on each side, again making sure the inside of your "v"s are vertical and line up as much as possible. Same thing again in this one except they are in series of three.  To me these have the look of stitching on old crazy quilts so they are nice to add to your stable of stitch variations.  Hope you  enjoy them and have fun!

Friday Giveaway - Last Week's Winner & a New Giveaway!

The winner of last week's Friday Giveaway of the current issue of Spin Off magazine is Marilyn!  lol - an easy win for Marilyn since she was the only one who left a comment.  Marilyn didn't leave an email so I would ask her please to contact me - just leave a comment with your email and I will email you right back to get your mailing information. (I will not publish the comment with your email)  If I don't hear back from you by next Friday I will include the magazine in with the prize for next week.  Last week I asked for comments suggesting what would make a good giveaway item in the future.  Since Marilyn's suggestion was the only one, I will take it!  So, this week I will be giving away some specialty threads as Marilyn suggested, along with a package of these great clock charms I just received in the mail. Aren't these great charms?  When I found them I bought all that there were in stock, five packages, so I have enough to share with you as well as a package fo
