Give Away!!

Okay - I'm going to give away 2 yarn balls!

Here are your requirements:

1. Post a comment on my blog in 2 places. One in this post (so I can pick from the list at random) and one on any other of my posts. Be sure to leave your email so I can contact you.

2. Promise you'll use these for something - dryer balls, pet toys, baby toys, whatever - and then come back & comment on what you think.

Please feel free to add a link to your blog in the comments if you're interested.

Our fun giveaway will end Dec 15 at midnight Pacific Time. That way I can ship your yarn balls in time for Christmas!

Ooooo ~ Another crafty idea!!



Today's idea is wool dryer balls! I'm off to get Emma at school but when we get home, we're making these!! You toss them in the dryer instead of fabric softener. We're terribly allergic to dryer sheets & fabric softener around here but. . . these are supposed to: get rid of static, get rid of lint, separate clothes for better drying & be good for the environment.

Here's the tutorial I found.

I'll let you know how they come out. I'm excited!

Inspiration


So I get my inspiration from all kinds of places. Sometimes I just see a fabric & the idea comes to me. But. . . here's the latest dress I'd like to make for Ava.

If you've never looked at this web site. . . stay away. You'll soon spend all your money on your children!! bestdressedchild.com

Right now, I'm working on a beautiful smoky blue angora sweater dress. It will soon be for sale at my Etsy shop.

And have you seen the ruby sweater dress? Its to die for! But so is my model!
