Giveaway winner…

Posted in Crafts, tagged , on December 17, 2011| 1 Comment »

Thanks to all who entered this week’s giveaway! The winner is…

# 28, Jessica C! I’ve sent you an email, Jessica; just drop me a line and let me know where to send your package. It looks like Jessica has named our little sheep friend Leonard (which also happens to be my grandfather’s name!). For the curious amongst you, the name I had chosen for the sheep was: Norbert

Believe it or not, there was one person who guessed the name Norbert, so Georgia got a second entry into the draw.

This was too much fun, and I loved reading all the names you came up with — you are a truly funny group of people! Back to some holiday stitching for now… much more to share very soon!

Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway Day, 2011

Posted in Food Links on December 12, 2011| 217 Comments »

EDIT 12/16/11: GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED — WILL ANNOUNCE THE WINNER IN A NEW POST TOMORROW. THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!

Hooray, it’s here! Today is the annual December Giveaway Day at Sew, Mama, Sew! A hearty welcome to all SMS readers. I won’t keep you long today, but do take a look around and, if you like what you see, I’d love to have you as a subscriber (links upper right). I typically post a couple of times a month and share my adventures in food and craft, offering up recipes, lots of food photos, sewing project pics, and discoveries/lessons learned along the way. I try to keep this a happy, thoughtful, appetizing(!), and occasionally funny place. For a taste of what this blog is all about, check out this post: Carefully Edited Slices of Life

For now, let’s get on with the giveaway! Up for grabs is a nice little assortment of goodies: 2 mini embroidery hoops, 2 flour sack dish towels (for embroidering!), and a jar of 20+ colors of floss. Then for some handmade goodness, I’ve added a little needle-felted sheep, along with some fabric-covered clothespins (leftover from the photo booth at my wedding). Lastly, in another piece of post-wedding craft supply overflow, a little spool of green bakers twine. The wooden chopping block stays with me… 😉

For a chance to win, leave a comment and answer me this question: What would you name the sheep if he were to go home with you??? (I’ll give an extra entry to anyone who can guess the name *I* would give him. And yes, I realize that, not having horns, the sheep is more likely a she. But look at that face. Clearly a boy. A confused sheep perhaps. I digress.)

Details: Winner will be chosen by the random number generator. Giveaway is open until December 16 at 5 p.m. PST, and international readers are more than welcome to enter!

Be sure to go back to Sew, Mama, Sew! and check out all the other wonderful giveaways taking place today. Thanks for stopping by!
