Fat Quarter Bundle GIVEAWAY! $45 Value

Hi Friends!You are in for a real treat today! 

My lovely sponsors, the Fat Quarter Shop, have so graciously offered a super sweet giveaway to one of my followers! YAY! You lucky girls, you. I am green with envy ;)

If you don't know the Fat Quarter Shop, I seriously recommend you go take a look at their website, BUT NOT NOW! You'll get lost in the beauty and never come back to enter the giveaway. SO, enter first, run over there after, mmkay?

Besides having beautiful things, they often have discounts over on their Facebook page. And they are so super helpful. You all know that I wanna make a quilt this year, right? Well, I was stuck on what fabric I should use that was non-girly (house full of boys over here) and they were so helpful and directed me to a couple I LOVE.

So now I have to chose between these two:

  

<--Curio by Basic Gray (Seville Quilt) or Curious Nature by Parson Gray (Urban Grange Quilt)-->

BUT, that's not what you wanna know right now, is it!? I'm sure you're dying to know what YOU will be winning, right?

Well, take a look below:

Kim Knight's Blogger Choice Fat Quarter Bundle! 

You may know Kim from her site True Up, and if you do, then you know she has a great eye for beautiful fabrics. And the same can be said about this gorgeous bundle.

I am ABSOLUTELY in love with the colors, I feel like they are so on trend with Spring/Summer 2012. The corals and light mustard yellows paired with the grays and brown make for a striking but neutral-feeling combination, no?. When we (the Fat Quarter Shop and I) talked about doing a giveaway, THIS bundle was at the top of my wish list for you guys. SO happy one of you will get to win this and create with it!

You will be getting a total of 15 fat quarters in 12 prints and 3 solids, valued at $45!
Giveaway wil run from March 1st to March 15th and winner announced March 16th. So, go on, enter! There are 6 ways to win! Oh, and Good luck!

Hello there my lovely ladies!

It's FRIDAY! Woo-hoo!

Sorry for my lack of post this week, it's ironic really. I have been crazy busy sewing and making jewelry (fun!) and I was even thinking of doing a makeup tutorial! (I don't assume to know it all about makeup, but I absolutely LOVE to play with it and have learned a lot along the way) Is that something you guys would be interested in?

Anyway, I've been coming down with a cold and it turns out the girl who gave it to me, has Strep throat. *groan*. I really hope that is not what I have. 

So, yeah, that's the bad news. In good news...I FOUND MY CAMERA! So later today I will post some pics up, mmkay?

And lastly WE HAVE A WINNER! 

The winner (as selected by random.org) of the Plaid giveaway of all these lovely goodies...

I've been loving piece work lately. Anything quilt-y and home-y. Maybe it's because the season's changing and it makes me thinks of warming up under a nice quilt? I dunno. Either way, it's inspired me to make something and I CAN NOT wait to share it with you guys :)

Follower Appreciation Giveaway - CLOSED

Don't you just love flowers?

I wish I could give each one of you lovelies a beautiful flower to thank you for your friendship :)

But, flowers don't ship very well, now do they? ;)

Still, gotta love those flowers...

Know what else I'm kinna loving? The faux frosted glass look on this little flower pot (Ummm...more like baby food jar!)

I took it from this:

To this:

Not a huge transformation but anything with glitter is better, right?! And it does look frosted...

Here some more in different colours with different brush strokes (I still love the "frosted" one best):

To achieve this "look" I used a great new product, that my lovely sponsor, PLAID was kind enough to let my try out. And they even send along some extra to giveaway to one of you!!

Here is what you'll get:

Five of their newest paint product:  Extreme Glitter Paint in colours: Champagne, Rose, Aqua, Royal Blue and Confetti.

The options with these paints are endless...think: jewelry, frames, decor for a lil' girls room, hair accessories, canvas paints, scrapbook layouts...pretty much anything you can Mod Podge you can now glitter-fy! This paint has the same consistency as Mod Podge and the glitter doesn't flake off. At all.

Sweet, right?

(I used the colours Champagne, Rose and Aqua (the first three from the left) to pretty-fie my jars.)

So, do you wanna win it?

Here's how:

Fabric Charm Pack GIVEAWAY! - CLOSED

Hi Friends! I'm sure you've all guessed the fun news I had for you already...a giveaway! It's my way to say "THANK YOU!" to my amazing readers who are always leaving the sweetest comments and who are so friendly and encouraging. I have the best readers around, I say :)

I recently ran into a company called Fishskin Fabric Designs, and let me just tell you, they have the cutest fabric! They carry many fabric options for girls, boys, home decor, minky, laminated cotton and even 100% ORGANIC cotton! They also have a selection of notions and books to chose from. Here are so examples of their super cute prints:

    

              

They have so generously offered my readers a *15% off discount on anything on their website...and, wait for it...are giving away TWO Sherbet Pips Charm Packs by Moda!

This Charm Pack is made of 100% quilting weight cotton, cut in 5"x5" squares and feature the sweetest red, blue, grey, pink and whites. They include many different but coordinating prints...scarves, scooters, animations and great geometric prints, with a total of 42 squares. 42, people.

They are perfect for quilting, but in my opinion would be adorable if used for totes, girl skirt, small blanket, mug rug, coasters, change pad, embellishments for any project, place mats, girls apron or a pillow case. You are SO not limited with these adorable little squares! Why, you can even use some Heat n' Bond, cut out shapes and use for cards! Ahh-dorable!
