Gifts & Give-A-Ways

Okay . . . don't get jealous just be happy for me.

Look at the lovely gift 

that I received this week in the mail. 

This adorable little felted pouch was made 

by 

Carol Cook 

of 

Art and Sand

And this was inside!

She did a post on her bathroom 

remodel 

and I mentioned how much I loved 

her bathroom sign.

Later that day I got an email

saying that she had one that she took off

and that it would be in the mail

heading my way soon :)

That's what I call having a big heart.

If you don't know Carol's Blog . . .

Here's a question for you.

Do you know Jo? 

No?

Let me introduce you :)

I made two banners this week.

This one for a thank you gift. . .

And this one for a Give-A-Way :)

If you would like to see how I did this:

1. I sandwiched quilt batting between

two pieces of drop-cloth fabric. 

2. Made a star pattern in the size I wanted.

3. Carefully cut around them.

4. Then stitched around them 

leaving raw edges.

5. Next I stenciled on the letters.

6. After they were dry I sewed them to

ribbon or torn drop-cloth. 

If you would like a chance to win this.

All you have to do is:

1. Be a follower of my blog.

2. Leave a comment.

I will draw a name and announce it on

Thursday, Nov 1st.

Thanks for visiting me today

and have a lovely day.

Keep Smiling!

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
