Double Double Giveaway!

I have enjoyed the comments and new visitors and noticed quite a few who live outside the states.
One thing I love about epatterns is no matter where you live, shipping is free.
So, I decided that I will draw two names, one in the US and one outside the states.
I will close the drawing on friday night and announce the winner on saturday, Jan 1.
Make sure you leave your message in the original contest post.

Also, this contest is for any of my patterns, it does not have to be the sheep, you get to choose.
You do not need to be a follower, but it is a great way to keep up with my newest patterns and freebies.
I will be doing my Go review after the contest, so watch for that, coming soon.

Moki has decided to help me clean the house. He loves to beat out the dirt in the rugs;)



He also likes to redecorate and rearrange the trees. Have you ever see a the new bent trees? Well Moki decided to make me one.

Double Giveaway!

With the new year coming, we all want to start a new project.
So, I will be giving one winner, a choice of one of my epatterns and a chance to give to someone else.
The winner gets one and the winner gets to give one away, to anyone they would like.

Just leave me a comment on this post and I will draw a winner on friday, December 31st. Just in time for some weekend crafting.
And for this weeks special, you can buy one get one free. Just leave your free choice in the comment section.

Merry Christmas!

Opening presents is fun, I knew there would be a ball in there.



Now this present looks interesting, wish they wouldn't tape it so much.



Hey, there's no present, this critter ate it.



I'll show you, oh it squeaks, happy happy, joy joy, I really really love my toy.



I think Mom has lost it, I think I will go hide my toy before she starts playing with it.



Merry Christmas to all!

Christmas Blessings!

He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.

I was planning on doing a review, but it is almost Christmas and I thought it might be best to wait until after the holiday;)
Last week I won a wonderful giveaway by Lark Crafts. I was expecting to get it next week, but it arrived at my house today. What a wonderful surprise for Christmas. I have been wanting this book and tried winning it for months, so imagine my surprise when I won it, this time. Not only that, but I also got tons of felt to work with. Plus a calendar that has a pattern each month, and it comes with a full sized pattern set. I was totally amazed at what I received, really made my day.



Here is one of the patterns in the book. The patterns are all simple and great to add your own touches to. I love the different bird patterns, they will be fun to make for any season. Check out LarkCrafts, they have a lot of tutorials and patterns for visitors.



And to all of my visitors, I wish you a Very Merry Christmas and a wish that Blessings follow you into the new year! I feel truly blessed by the friends I have made by blogging and the generosity of those who have giveaways and friends who have sent me gifts to cheer me up.

Moki and Me!

Today I received a wonderful package from my friend Kelley.
She knows how much I love fabric and she sent me bundles of wonderful textile fabrics.
And, plenty of velvet to create with, so I will have fun with some art quilts and maybe some nice runners.
She also made me the beautiful cross stitch, I love the linen and floss she used, she does such beautiful primitive work.



And for the Moki lovers, here is Moki doing what he loves most, playing ball.



And for those of you who are thinking about getting a Go cutter, I finally broke down and got one this week. This is what I decided to try today. I just wanted something to keep my hands busy and try the new cutter. Tomorrow I will give you my review and photos and It is not all positive;)

A little bit of Christmas!

I haven't done much this week, but got a few things done.
I found a this drawing on a site with stamping art. I thought it would be fun to stitch up.
I want to put in a better frame, but I need to rework it and I may enlarge it and add some words and a background fabric, so I just put it in this frame for now and I can decide what to do with it, for next year.



I found this feather tree in a thrift store. It needed something on it. So, I took my bag of spools and antiqued them, then wound floss around them. Then I made up some yarn balls and a piece of homespun. I couldn't get it done without moki helping, he really likes this tree;)

Christmas in the 80's!

I am still laid up, my brain is still foggy, so haven't been able to do too much, but rest.
I have been visiting everyone's blog, but it is hard for me to write and think at the same time, lol.
I haven't gone shopping and my cards will never get done, but I still have the spirit of Christmas and will enjoy being with my family.

I found an old photo when we lived in a townhouse. I am not sure what possessed me to wear a black varsity jacket;) My son is in the red and white sweater and my daughter is sitting on my older sister's lap. And the goof at the end is my husband. It sure brings back memories. I am working on a small project and hopefully I will have it finished tomorrow.
