AND THE WINNER IS.........

Early this morning, I printed off all the comments from all you crafty people. Thanks for all the entries. It was fun learning what you all do and do NOT like to do craft-wise! :)

My trusty assistant helps fold all the entries and put them in the basket.
All the entries folded.
Once again, my trusty assistant helps out by drawing the winning name.

And here is the winning slip.....the flash went off.....blinding all the words off the slip of paper. Who could it be?????? Is it you???????

HERE IS WHAT THE WINNER SAID.....

ooooohhhhh, a MYSTERY! :-)

To be honest, the 'fabric cutting has got to be my least favorite part of sewing. I LOVE to 'sew'......but with the cutting, I am always afraid I will mess-up.

Thank you!

Mrs. B

So a great big CONGRATULATIONS to Mrs. B of
FOR THE KEEPER AT HOME

I'll be contacting you for your address so I can ship your gift!
Update: Mrs. B, I have tried to contact you through the comment link and your web page is coming up invalid. Soooo......you'll need to get contact me with your shipping address. :) If I don't hear from you, I'll have to choose another winner.

Here is what I came up with for my giveaway. I've got to admit....It's a little intimidating shipping something to another crafty sewer! :) I used leftover scraps from this year's Easter outfits and last years Mother's Day outfits. I neglected to take a picture of the black & white floral lining inside the purse. I used no pattern.....just came up with the idea for this purse in my head, started cutting & sewing! I would have loved to put a bright pink button on, but black was all I had in this size! Hope the winner enjoys!!!

Tuck the shoulder strap inside and 'voila'---a clutch!

The side & back. This was 'sew' fun to make and an exciting giveaway to participate it!!!

MY FIRST GIVEAWAY!!!!

IT'S A SURPRISE......

Okay! I am (at the last minute) deciding to participate in a giveaway in celebration of a new blog starting on Monday, June 8th. Here is the link if you want to check it out. http://www.sewn.net.au/ Or here is a quote from the blog author:

"The Creative Director of a new site for sewers, called SEWN. Exciting right? I KNOW. The website will have just about everything you can think of that you would want online as a sewer. There are forums, online advice from industry experts, conversion charts, colour wheels, free patterns and class listings.
There will be interviews with all your favourite designers, quilters, patterns makers and authors. There will be tutorials with me and with other sewers from here and overseas, podcasts and coverage from shows and articles about all maner of exciting things.
Best of all, there are great unique gadgets - Fabricmatcher, which is an online tool which lets you match patterns to fabrics and see what your project will look like without sewing a stitch, and Find Fabric, which is the niftiest thing that will find the fabric you are looking for without you having to search for it for hours on the internet. It's so clever it even searches shops in your vicinity first to save you on international postage. How cool is that?
Plus there will be an online buy and sell area called SEWiNg, which is where you can sell the stuff you sew to the people out there who don't sew - and some of the ones who do :)"

All you have to do to win the prize I am giving away is comment about something crafty you like to do or NOT to do! :) I will send a mystery surprise to the winner. Right now, it's a mystery to me.....but didn't want to pass up the opportunity to be a part of this new blog launch! The winner will be announced on Monday, June 8th. Good luck!
