Giveaway Day Winner's Apron

It needs a pressing, and then this apron is ready to go on it's way to Laurel, who won our Giveaway Day drawing.  She said that she liked blue and green, and I took a little liberty in adding the red to punch up the palette just a bit.  I hope she likes it. :)

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.)

We Have A Winner!

Before announcing our Giveaway Day winner, I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone who stopped by and entered the contest.  Your comments really made my day(s) and I wish that I had time to respond to each one individually.

But, while I try to get to some of them, I'll announce our winner!

Mr Random.org chose entry #51, Thependragoneyes.  I still haven't figured out how to insert the widget, so I hope you'll take my word for it. Congratulations!  I've sent you a message and can't wait to get started on your apron!

In the event that I haven't heard back from our winner, a new winner will be chosen on Tuesday morning.

May Giveaway Day! - The Giveaway Post

 ***The Giveaway Day post is now CLOSED.  I'll announce the winner in just a bit!  Thank you and good luck to everyone who stopped by and decided to enter!***

Hello, hello!

If you've come over from Sew, Mama, Sew, this is the post that you're looking for.  :)  And if you stumbled over it by happy accident, you picked a really good time, because it's Giveaway Day!

For Giveaway Day, I'm offering up an apron.

My initial plan was to make another like this, which has received a lot of good feedback.  But then it occurred to me that maybe whoever won the giveaway might not actually be a fan of these colors.  So, instead, I'm offering up an apron made specifically for the winner.

I'm not even going to make you jump through a bunch of hoops to enter. :)

If you'd like to be entered in the drawing to win a custom apron, leave a reply to this post stating which of the following fabrics you like the best.

Then let me know which solid colors you like the best.  (Up to three, though I'm not sure that I'll end up using more than two in the finished apron.)

Make sure that I have some way of contacting you, and that's it!  Though, if you'd like to follow the blog, that'd be awesome.  I like to think that people might be interested in what goes on here. ;)

Entries will be accepted through May 25.  (In all honesty, until I can get to the computer on May 26.)  A winner will be chosen at random and announced on My 26 or 27.

Also, I'm doing a giveaway on my shop blog, too.  Check out the frog loves monkey blog and make sure to enter that giveaway, too!

Good luck, and thanks for stopping by!

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!
