Recently

...I've been all of content and dreaming. Working on lots of little projects instead of big ones lately. Here's some recently finished things.

 Mini hexagons sewn onto a Moleskine cahier notebook.

Inspired by this and using this tutorial: a super easy, super cute Nicey Jane pincushion.

And some granny squares. Just cause I was in the mood for them.

What have you been working on recently?

Announcing the winner...

In my family we have a saying. "Did you have fun? Then you're a winner!" So I hope you all had fun on Giveaway Day and feel like winners, even though I don't have 237 prizes to send out. I appreciated the great response and hearing all the nice comments about my shop as well. Stick around after the winner is announced for a special thank you...

Good old random number generator has decided the fate of the coasters and fabric from the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway. The winner is #77, Nicey Jane loving Lori! Congrats! I've sent out an email and hope to hear from you soon.

But that's not all...

To say thanks to everyone who participated, I'd like to offer a coupon code for 10% off anything in my shop. It's good for the rest of the month. Just enter FUN in the notes to seller and I'll send a refund for the discounted amount. The much admired scrappy birdie pouch is still available, and while the sock monkey tea wallet has been snatched up, there's others available, including more Nicey Jane!

Thanks all for entering and commenting; welcome new followers and shop hearters. Hope to see you around here again soon. :-)

It's a great day for a giveaway!

Yes, it's that time again: Sew, Mama, Sew! is hosting another Giveaway Day, and I'm happy to be a part of it once more. Last time I was really blown away by the response to my tea wallet and fabric giveaway. This time again I'm doing something handmade along with supplies, because I know I sure love both categories!

For the handmade item, I'm giving away a coaster set made from Heather Bailey's Nicey Jane fabrics. I LOVE this fabric collection and had been itching to get my hands on it. I finally got some for a larger project (to be revealed later) but had enough to fool around with too.

At my house, it seems we always have several glasses going at a time, for tea, juice, water, margaritas, milkshakes... I've found that I really love having some extra coasters handy. (No one likes little rings left on the table!)

The four coasters are each about 4.5" square. All four have Church Flowers in green on one side, then on the other side two have Welcome Road in slate and two have Lindy Leaf in blue. They're double stitched around the edges and oh so happy!

As for the supplies part of the giveaway, I'm adding in a fat quarter of Jay McCarroll Woodland Wonderland fabric: Leaning Trees. I got more than I needed of this for a project I'm working on and thought someone might enjoy using the rest. It has been pre-washed and is good to go for the winner.

Want to win? All you have to do for your chance is to leave me a comment. If you have time, I'd really appreciate it if you'd check out my Etsy shop and tell me what you like best in it. A winner will be chosen at random around May 20th. (I'll ship to the US or Canada.)

Thanks for looking and happy giveaway day!
