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.

Kerry, I'm not sure how to leave you my email addy. I don't really want it posted. Can you let me know how to do it?

Thanks

Hi Marilyn! If you do not want to leave an email, please check back when it is time for the winner's name to be drawn, in this case Friday, August 13th. Thanks!

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

Save the Stitches Finished!

 I finally finished my "Covid Project"!  I worked on Elizabeth Almond's beautiful blackwork sampler design, "Save the Stitches" for much longer than I would like to admit...  I have to say though that it was very satisfying every step of the way.  I have not been able to concentrate on stitching in any significant way for some time now due to chronic pain and the dullness that the pain meds cause but having finished this piece gives me hope for my stitching future.  I also love the framing which was lovingly done by MJ of "Art Effects" in High River, Alberta.

BAS Week 35 - Bullion Stitch

This time the BAS Challenge is a stitch that can be used in either seams or motifs. It is an incredibly versatile stitch once you learn it. I put off learning the bullion stitch because I found it very intimidating, but I have to say that once I got the hang of it I have had a lot of fun with it. The possibilities are almost endless..... bullion roses... ... figures like watering cans... ...Christmas puddings... ... this little robin and worm - my personal favourite!... ....romantic hearts filled with roses... ... even a beehive and little bees.... ... or baby rattles! See, the possibilities really are endless! Now that I hope I have you inspired with ideas, here is the scoop on this stitch. It is simply a glorified french knot! There is an excellent video tutorial on Mary Corbet's Needle'nThread blog in her Video Library of Stitches. Mary has also written very good information and tips in this post.
