Thank you to all that entered.

ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT TO ENTER

What's that?

ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT!!

Just what is it you're offering, Carolyn, for

FEBRUARY'S GIVEAWAY?

{ scroll back to Monday, Feb. 7th }

I'm so glad you asked!

How about one of these

DRAWSTRING JEWELLERY POUCHES?!

They are so stinkin' cute at only

1 3/4" in diameter at the base and 1 3/4" high.

Even so, they still have 5 compartments for all kinds of rings & things.

A great way to keep your treasures from getting scratched and damaged.

The center one, red roses, is abit bigger at 2 1/2" in diameter at the base

and 2 1/2" in height but once again 5 compartments.

I've started to put these little pouches into my Etsy shop.

I say started because it takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r to download the pics on

 { gulp }

dial-up.

I strongly dislike dial-up, I hate it !

Have a great day!!

-35C with a Barbeque!

 

Yes! You read it correctly, -35C! Again! Can we say brrrrrr!!

No matter, we Canadians are a tough people!

What do we do in this kind of weather?

~

~

We drag out our bbqs and set up by the pool...

Are these fantastic or what?

I won these a couple of weeks ago  from

Creative Chicks

~

The moose came to me from

SEW FRESH FABRICS

They were used for a block that will be included in a quilt for the Linus Project!

~

This is my finished block heading back to
Peg & Becca

~

Can't believe I'm finished already but it takes at least 2 weeks travel time,

one way.

Speaking of travel...

if you scroll back to Monday's post you'll find a

GIVEAWAY.

BOO!! trick or TREAT?!

                                         

                                                                                

                            Once again my kiddos were the inspiration for another project. 

 

The room they have is seriously lacking storage space of any kind.

Storage for little things, their collectibles and such.

I won this fiendishly fun fabric last year from Quilt Taffy !

I was abit stumped as to what to do with it until now...

TADA!!

{ sorry for the crappy pic }

These are fantastic storage posckets to hang on the wall.

I was too anxious to get a pic posted so I'll get a better shot later today.

ALSO

The TREAT!!

FEBRUARY'S GIVEAWAY!!

Check yesterday's post  for a cute giveaway that any traveller could use!



FEBRUARY GIVEAWAY

Yesterday I mentioned about my jewellery pouch fiasco and how I now have more than I need of these cuties!!

So I thought you might like a GIVEAWAY!!

Whatcha think about that?

Leave a comment for chance #1

Blog or tweet for chance #2

Become a follower for chance #3

Leave me some L-O-V-E and win a gift for yourself or give the pouch to someone special.

Draw date will be February 13th sometime through the day!

The Week of February 5th and an invitation?

Everyone has those weeks when things just won't mesh, right?

This week was mine! Oh Boy!!

~

Believe it or not but this is suppose to be a travelling jewellery pouch!
Yeah, a little on the large side me thinks!!

So I turned it inside out and found a jelly bean container that is clear and fits in just perfect. Now I've got a place to put sewing supplies.

~

I've been trying to get the measurements figured out for the proper finished size of a jewellery pouch. Well the first attempt rendered a very mini size.
There are 5 compartments in this mini.

 All well and fine but too easy to misplace during travel I thought or if you had larger pieces to store.

~

Back to the drawing board and with some refiguring and
voila!

All in all everything turned out OK with these and I even have a few extras!
I think this could call for a...


stop back tomorrow!!


I know, I'm a tease.

~

On another note I was in contact with the

 NEW HOPE DOG RESCUE
in SASKATOON, SK

 and Karen is wanting to collaborate on a raffle
 to help them obtain a new home base.

 

Have a great day!

OH NO!!!

                          4 days remaining to enter my very first GIVEAWAY!!!

FIRST GIVEAWAY, YOU CHOOSE

        WOOF! GIVEAWAY  TIME!!  WOOF!

This is "Bullet"! Our beautiful 8 year old rottweiler. She is such a suck it's pathetic. She's also the only other female in the house.

 I had an idea to help the S.P.C.A. in our area by making dog coats and either selling them with the proceeds going to the shelter or giving the coats directly to the shelter, I'm not sure yet which way to go here. Any suggestions?

I want to make this year the turning point for me, no doubt something I should have done a long time ago. I've participated in a few "quilt-alongs" to help out and it feels so great joining in!

 I received a dog coat pattern for free last year from one of my  blogland friends so it just makes sense to use the pattern for, what I hope is, a whole lot of good to some very deserving furry friends. 

I think a name for the project would be a good thing too. I'm tossing around a couple but they don't have the punch I want.

So do you have any suggestions for a name and what are your thoughts, sell and donate the money OR donate the coats?

In the spirit of a new year,  I'm going to have my FIRST GIVEAWAY !!!  I'll pick a name from those that enter and the winner will have a choice of a "dog coat and a surprise" or a "box pouch"!

                                             {not exactly as shown, will be different fabric}

 How's that sound? Let's have the closing date JANUARY 12, 2011. Let me know if you've blogged about my giveaway for a second chance. You don't have to become a follower but it would be nice too!

So please spread the word and help me help Bullet's buddies!

So there you have it. WHEW!
