Given Away

Back in March, I offered a giveaway on my 250th post. I selected a name, and started working on what I wanted to do. There were little delays here and there, and I'm embarrassed that it took me so long to complete this.

Last Friday, I finally managed to give Christine the prize. I stamped some cards for her. Stamps are Flower Factory and one of the greeting sets. All products are Stampin' Up.

I also turned a piece from the Bride's Tree stitchalong into an ornament. This is the "house" and the image is Liberty's of London. Christine and I both lived in London, so I thought this would be perfect for her. The fabric in the background is what I used to back the ornament. While it's not a Liberty's of London fabric, it reminds me of something they would have. The brown ribbon is from Stampin' Up.

Happy Easter!

Welcome, Treasurer Hunters! Your letter is L. The pattern for the above chart is available from Free Patterns Online. Your next stop on the hunt is a visit to Christine at The Alchymyst's Study. Want to learn about the Hunt? Visit Jo at Serendipitous Stitching.

A small project I stitched a few years ago.

Swirligig

So, I didn't win Anna's challenge, but I had fun participating. Here is my contribution to the contest.

The fabric is 28 ct platinum linen. I stitched with 2 strands of WDW Confederate Gray and 1 strand of Kreinik Blending filament (100HL). Too bad you cannot see the sparkle - it's subtle even in good light.

The beads are leftover from another project. They're white or ice frosted seed beads from Mill Hill, I think. They look sea green because I attached them with the Confederate Gray thread. The finishing fabric is leftover from this project.

Winner of the Giveaway

And the giveaway goes to... Lee!

Congratulations.

I'll post a picture of the giveaway once Lee receives her surprise in the mail.

Thanks to all who commented, especially those of you who de-lurked.

Pay it Forward

Geggie is offering a contest for 3 lucky folks to win a Burt's Bees giftpack. The only catch is that if you win, you need to do a similiar "pay it forward" kind of gift. I've already entered, because hubby is all about the Burt's Bees.

Even if you're not into that kind of thing, her's is a fun blog.
