sew,mama,sew giveaway day 2011!!!

Giveaway is now closed! Winner announced here!

It's that time again. . . gotta love Giveaway Day! If this is new to you, make sure to stop by the Sew, Mama, Sew! blog and check out all the other giveaways going on. Some changes have been made to how this all works this year but I think you'll find it will be easier to participate.

Photobucket

I've made two items to giveaway today. . .

-a super cozy, fuzzy, and warm cowl in light grey with a white contrast stripe. The cowl is long enough to be worn several ways and is made from a really soft alpaca/acrylic blend yarn. It's machine washable to boot. Though I would suggest laying flat to dry.

-a pretty fold over zip clutch made using my current favorite fabric and I experimented by adding a metal zip and suede corners. It is full lined with grey duck cloth. I'm seriously in love with it and plan to make another for myself!

  4. My most recent book that I really enjoyed was My Antonia by Willa Cather. Last winter I read Death Comes to the Archbishop also by Willa Cather and realized I've never really read much American classic literature. So I am trying to remedy that. Lovely giveaways!

  5. How awesome is your giveaway!??! What great stuff! I'm a non-fiction girl myself, and as a statistician, I think everyone should read Supercrunchers. It's a good read about how and why we should think statistically. :)

  51. Oh, my goodness, that cowl is breathtaking! I'm new to knitting, so ribbed or cabled scarves are kind of my limit at the moment. Would love to branch into lace here soon, though.

    One of my all-time favorite books is "Little Women." If you enjoy creative non-fiction, David Sedaris. Popular fiction: James Patterson, Michael Connelly, Patricia Cornwell are all great mystery writers that I enjoy. Guilty pleasure: Janet Evanovich.

    Thanks for the opportunity to enter, and enjoy!

    ReplyDelete
  151. My favorite author is Dorothy Dunnett. All of her books are wonderful but you need to read them in order. She writes intelligent historical fiction (not romance) and while they take some effort on the reader's part, it's worth it.

    Love the fold over clutch, btw. I'd be happy to sign up as a follower if you promise a tutorial :)

    ReplyDelete
  152. One of my all time favorite books is Lassie Come Home. I really love your crochet work, I'm a beginner.

  157. So hard to pick one favorite, but I recently read "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand and it was AMAZING. In fact in Southern Living, the author of "The Help" said if she could write a book as perfect as "Unbroken," she'd stop writing.
