Whirl Into Winter Quilt Blog Giveaway

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. WINNERS ANNOUNCED HERE.

Since I've won quite a few giveaways online in the past year, I'm participating in the Whirl Into Winter Blog Giveaway. You can go over there to check out a bunch of blogs that are participating and you'll find that most of the items are homemade or items for crafters.

So this is what I'm giving away. It's a purse made from a chocolate corduroy and some pop garden fabric. It has an inside pocket, a magnetic snap closure, it's pleated on the bottom half, and has some metal accents on the straps. If I have time, I'll also add a couple co-ordinating items to go in it. And you'll have to excuse the poor quality pics, but brown cord doesn't photograph well. I can ship to US or Canada. All you have to do is leave me a comment saying you want to win this. The giveaway is open from January 1 - January 15. Good luck and Happy New Year!

some Christmas gifts . . .

Here's a couple things I sewed up for Christmas gifts this year. An Emmeline apron (the other side is a pink Christmas fabric) and a bunch of coordinating kitchen items (a table topper, half apron, pot holder, and embellished tea towel).

Sassy Apron Swap . . .

I sent off my apron for the Sassy Apron Swap today. It's a reversible Emmeline apron. It was such a fun pattern that I made a second one too but my husband voted that this was the nicer of the two. I hope my partner likes it! We also had to send a cookie cutter, recipe, and card; and I also added some sprinkles, candy canes, and a matching pouch to put them in. Now as soon as mine arrives, I'll be ready to start some Christmas baking . . .
