While rearranging, reorganizing, and cleaning up the studio, I found, I mean decided on, the items I will be giving away this month. Yes, some of the items have been hanging around for a while, forgotten in some corner, but I did make something on Saturday and Sunday specifically for you (I am hoping that you win:)
Curious about what I made? Here they are.
Meet Buddy and Flower Ragamuffin. Buddy was born on Saturday, February 27th. He is approximately 10" tall. Flower was born on Sunday, February 28th, she sits about 8" high. Both of these cuties are made from lonely, unwanted, and neglected wool sweaters that I have rescued, felted, and given new purpose to. Buddy is a hodgepodge of colors, textures, and patterns. Flower is a little more mellow in her colors, textures, and patterns, but just as fun. Both love to be snuggled, but for safety sake, if Buddy ends up in your home and you have small children, the buttons on his outfit should be removed. Though Buddy and Flower do love each other, the are excited about finding different homes.
The third item I will be giving away is this:
A Granny Bag. This bag is crocheted by me. I test all of my bags out by using them for a few days. This bag is not lined so it works well for bigger items. This bag is machine washer and dryer safe.
The fourth item is this:
Two brag books made from antique paper lunch bags. Actually, I have no idea if they are antique, but I did find them hidden away in my mother-in-law's back room. I used scrapbook paper, ribbon, and a few embellishments.
That's right, there will be 4 WINNERS! After participating in the One World One Heart Giveaway, I have realized that I love to give things away. So, sticking with that theme and evoking the power of positive thinking, here is what I will be doing.
Are you ready?
For every 50 comments I receive, I will make a new ragamuffin and select another brag book to be given away.
Here are the rules:
1. Leave me a comment on this post by midnight on March 14th. That is all you need to do to be entered into the giveaway. To make things a little more interesting, I will give away a special prize for my favorite comment. I love to hear from and about people who visit my blog, so feel free to tell me a little something about yourself (think long note, not short story). Oh, and I love to hear about how you found my little corner of cyberspace.
For additional entries (you know, more chances to win):
2. Visit my ArtFire shop then leave me a message on this post letting me know what your favorite item is.
3. Visit my Facebook Fan Page and leave me a comment on Facebook. Once you do that, leave me another message on this post.
4. Check out my Etsy Shop and same as rule 2.
On March 15th, the winners will be selected at random. I will send a mass e-mail to all of the winners so that all the winners receive the e-mail at the same time. Winners get to choose their prizes based on who replies first.
I hope you enjoyed my blog! Feel free to come back anytime.
Good luck and have a great day!
One last picture before you leave. This is Emma sitting on a pile of wool. I managed to find a home for almost everything, but my sweater obsession is starting to take over Emma's side of the studio :)
Yes, she dresses herself.

This is about what my family room looks like while i'm in the midst of sewing (always).
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I LOVE my beach bag :) Can't wait to get it and put it to use. Love your little creatures too. When I first started reading the blog about "the little fella" from the planet Felton, I was looking for a mouse our something. You had me laughing. I love reading your posts T, they always make me smile. Love you.
ReplyDeleteThe raggamuffins are fabulous. So great!
ReplyDeleteLove your prizes! I don't consider myself "creative" at all, but I do love enjoying what other people make! I especially love the granny bag.

I found your blog thanks to ‘blog giveaways’ :) I love this kind of giveaways most, when the prize is personal and pretty much unique :) I’m not sure if there’s anything interesting to tell about me, I became part of the blogging world about a month ago and I really enjoy everything about it, it’s such a nice & friendly community! I was really surprised at first because you see so many people helping each other out, giving someone a sweet compliment etc. and I think that’s amazing compared to some other communities here online. I can see myself staying her for a very long time, just having fun with my blog and meeting interesting people!
ReplyDeleteI guess it wouldn’t hurt to tell more about what I like to do outside of the blogging world ;) I’m very passionate about art. I love to draw! I use my computer for it, so I think the right term would be drawing digital illustrations or something like that..I’m not really sure, I’m Dutch so sometimes my English is far from flawless :P Besides art I also enjoy reading a good book, cooking something new or taking our dogs for a walk. We have two super sweet dogs, and nothing makes them happier than a nice long walk (well besides dog food perhaps)
I already feel like I’m rambling so I’m not really sure what to add..I’ll just keep my fingers crossed during your giveaway!

My favourite item is the Hoodie Scarf, it would keep me warm when I take those dogs out for a walk :) Lately it has been snowing a lot over here, I did have a scarf but last week our youngest dog (she’s almost a year old now) bit a hole in it..not very flattering :P

I took a look at your Etsy shop as well, I really love the Brown, Pink, and Orange Flowery Brag Book. It’s perfect for my pictures :)

The Ragamuffins are wonderful! If i win, I will definitely have to feature them as the "pretty" of the week. I don't know why but they just make me smile.
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed by people who handmade stuff because I love to make things myself, be they nice or not. LOL. For me, when I make things, it helps me to relax and unwind. And the fact that it's for other people gives me a sense of satisfaction because the receipient know that the item was made with love and kind thoights. That was why I made my own wedding invites last year. I like what you're doing too. :-)

I found your blog while flying the carpet around the world with one world, one heart. I am a mom on a fun journey to discovering homeschooling/unschooling due to my disappointment in the public school system while trying not to become too overwhelmed and enjoy the journey and life.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to win any one of them, seems like great prizes :)

ReplyDeleteMy name is Glenda Im 26 I have 3 daughters and 1 son. My newest addition came Jan 17th! Ok I have to tell you the cutest thing my 4 year old son said a few weeks ago.. I made some steaks for dinner. He ate all his up quick then told me "Mommy I LOVE your mistakes!"
Ok one more today at church our Pastor said "God wants to know where your heart is" He turned to me and said "Mommy my heart is right here" and lifted up his shirt to show me his chest!
