A Win!

Well, this was a nice surprise - I won one of the giveaways that was part of Sew, Mama, Sew's Giveaway Day!

I got an email from Heather of quilt.cook.keep. telling me that I was one of the subway art winners.  So cool!

It was difficult to choose a color.  The aqua is just super pretty, I adore the orange and it matches the paint in my kitchen, and it's just hard to go wrong with black.  But, in the end, I chose the aqua.  Since I'm sewing in the dining room - which is yellow and bleeds into the kitchen, which is orange - I was afraid that an orange print would look awkward on the wall.  I ended up choosing aqua.  I think it'll be nice and spring-y in there. :)

Pretty, no?

(Psst!  If you'd like one of your own, Heather sells them in her Etsy shop.)

May Giveaway Day!

(I'm reposting here what I've posted on my shop blog.  Please pardon the overlap!)

YAY!  Sew, Mama, Sew has announced the start date for May Giveaway Day!  Everything kicks off on May 21st, and it looks to be an even bigger event this time round than it has before.  The categories have been revamped a bit (now there are five!) and the event runs for five full days.

If you've never taken part in Giveaway Day...DO!  If you're an artist or crafter with a blog, I can't recommend enough that you get involved.  It's a whole heck of a lot of fun.  And if you just want to find new artists and blogs that will blow your mind, then I highly suggest that you clear your calender for the week and enter as many of the giveaways as strike your fancy!  Even if you don't win anything, I can almost guarantee that you'll have a good time.  Your head might also explode from all of the amazing things that you're likely to see, but it's a chance worth taking. ;)

frog loves monkey will be taking part here, and I'll be doing something over on my personal blog as well, though I'm still ironing out the details.

Keep an eye out and be sure to check out all the goodies on May 21st!
