and the winner is.......

Today is the day!  I got to pick a winner for my bag giveaway.

The winning comment is: 16

Congratulations Ariane!  I hope you enjoy many days out with your new bag.

I love doing giveaways and am thinking of doing a lot more because I love making stuff and I don't want to overload my family and friends!  I'll overload you guys instead!!!  Nasty aren't I? lol

Currently making some monster pencil cases for family and one of my daughters friends.  This monster pencil case has proven popular.  My daughter loves hers and her friends have asked me to make them one too.  Will show them later, along with some simple dolls I have been making.  I have used the black apple doll pattern and love mixing and matching fabric scraps. 

Kind regards.

Bag Giveaway

I have been making some bags from Nicole Mallalieu's book 'You Sew, Girl' and it has been fantastic!  Such great easy patterns and easy to understand instructions with lots of photo's of the steps.  I have enjoyed the bag making so much that I couldn't stop at just one!

I can't keep them all and so I am going to give one of them away.  I had a really hard time trying to choose which one to keep myself and had to get the eeny, meeny, miny, moe ritual to lend a hand.

Made from sturdy denim and cotton flap.  It has a key chain fob attached to lining.  Also a phone pocket and a zippered pocket.

I won Cyndi from Bluebirdswing's July giveaway!  

She included some extras!!

Some pretty cards!  I love cherries!

Sticky notes!  I will be sticky noting myself all over the house!

Last but definitely not least.  A strap made by Cyndi.  I love it!  I already have come up with a ton of uses for it.

Now I am going back to play with the jelly roll I won.  It's droolable I tell you!  My teenage son also has been stroking the side of the roll!  He loves the fluffy feel of it.  But he can't understand why its called a "Jelly Roll".  He says it "Looks nothing like jelly Mum!"

Giveaway!

Hi from South Australia!

 About me:  I am a wife and mother who has loved to sew since about 10 years old.  I use to only sew clothes but recently because of all you crafty bloggers I have fallen in love sewing other things like softies, homewares, hats, bags etc.  I have only recently started blogging about my crafty adventures but it has blown me away with how friendly the world can be.

If you have read my introduction post at the beginning of my blogging life, you would have read how I blog to thank all the craft and sewing blogs out there who have inspired me "sooooo" much and taught me all manner of new skills.

Well, I would like to giveaway some of my spare copies of craft magazines I have collected over the years.  I will pay all postage costs as well so I will have to limit this first giveaway to "2" overseas winners who will have to pay any associated costs accrued their end, eg: customs if any.  The rest of the winners will be chosen from Australia, but only because of costs.  I'm sure you are all an understanding bunch of nice readers.

Most of my craft mags are Australian so I am hoping some of you guys don't already have them!!

 

Sorry about the poor quality pictures.  I either have a dud camera or am a dud photographer.

Get an early start on xmas! lol

For quilting fans.  I have 3 copies to giveaway.

If you know of anyone who likes cross stitch, pass this giveaway on!

Assorted projects.

The puppy dog softie is one of my UFO's. Maybe we can do it together!

All you have to do for this giveaway is leave a comment.  Also please state which mag you want eg: A, B, C, D, E, F.  (Top photo has letters photo-shopped on the front).

Also, leave a way for me to contact you regarding addressing info.

Names will go into a hat and first winner will have first pick etc.

Giveaway closing 15th February 2010.  Good luck.

Yours truly,

Kylie
