New Giveaway!

First of all, the winner of last week's giveaway (thanks to Random.org) is Mosaic Magpie.  I  will have the kits out in the mail to you today, Debbie!  Enjoy!

Sorry I am so late getting this posted!  I think that rather than only leave you with two days to comment and enter, I will leave this go until Friday the 13th of August.  I know that means I am missing a week but it has been wild here at the campground and doesn't look like things will calm down this week either.

This week I am celebrating it being closer to the end of the camping season and closer to the time I get to go home!  lol - everyone looks at me funny when I say that I am looking forward to the end of summer when winters here are so long but I miss my home and family!

Since there is still some summer left and I know everyone with children off school might be running out of ideas, this time I am giving away something full of ideas you can do with the little ones.  It is an issue of Mary Beth's Crafty Kids.  I don't think this magazine was around for long but while it was I loved it!  I used a lot of these ideas with my kids and held onto the magazine but even the grandkids are getting too old for the projects!
So here is how the giveaway works:
1. For one entry leave a comment telling me you are celebrating this week.
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.
Please, please, please leave me an email or a way to contact you so I can give you your prize!

Hi Kerry,

I'd love to win this one Kerry. My DGD just turned 4 and I run out of ideas to keep her amused. I was thinking about how busy you must be on the weekend.

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...

BAS - Week 81 - Sequin Flower with Tutorial

This Build a Seam (BAS) Challenge is a little different - not exactly a stitch per se.  It is a technique for making sequin flowers which can be a wonderful addition to a seam treatment or motif. You will need cupped sequins for this - flat ones will not work properly - and some seed beads.  Mark your fabric with a center dot and five evenly spaced dots around the outside.  Bring your needle up through one of the dots on the outside and string on one sequin (cup upwards), a bead, another sequin and two more beads.  Take your needle down through the middle dot.  Carry on making another leg in the same way on each of the other four outside dots, always going down into the center dot which will be the middle of your flower. This is what you end up with after you have done all five legs - a nice little sequin flower!  You can add a bead or two more in the center of the flower if you wish.  You can also vary the number of legs depending on the size of t...

Giveaway! (Closed Midnight Monday!)

While packing my stash for the move to the lake I found duplicates of a couple books. What can I say? It must be really appealing to buy it twice! So, I have two books to giveaway. The first one is "45 Fine & Fanciful Hats to Knit". My knitting skills aren't up to this, I'm afraid - I wish they were because it is a gorgeous book! The second book for giveaway is "Tatting Doilies & Edgings", edited by Ruth Weiss. This is a good one because it has lots of edgings that can be tatted and used for crazy quilting. Of course, you could tat the doilies and edgings for anything you like! lol So, to enter the giveaway simply leave a comment with your email address and indicating which book you would like to go in the draw for. I'll draw names sometime on Monday. Thanks!
