A little break

I'll be taking a break for some family time. I'll be back late next week, with lots of finishes to share.

wishing you peace and comfort, friends.

The second prize, from Anna Maria Horner, is a THIRTEEN-pattern collection.

Lovely prizes, yes??

To enter, share a project you've made from one or more of our tutorials over in the flickr group! That's it! Each project is a separate entry, so get to making!

Meredith will draw two winners this Friday, December 21st.

Good luck, friends!

Winner! Cookies!

My to do list never seems to end, but I'm enjoying the month of December, are you? It is flying by, though.

Let's get this winner announced, first thing!

The winner of this mega box of scraps is sshuttrbugg!

She just responded to my email, so I will be shipping her scraps out asap! Thanks to all of you that entered. I will definitely do another scrap giveaway!

Saturday, we had our third annual cookie day at my mom's. A few friends came, and we made dozens and dozens (and dozens!) of cookies. Each person brought a couple of recipes, and at the end of the day, we went home with a nice variety of tasty treats!

Sadly, I didn't get pictures of all cookies, but my friend Julie made these homemade oreos!

Amy made these candy cane crinkle cookies.

I made this cranberry pecan shortbread. I also made these chocolate peppermint crinkle cookies for the second time.

I'm off to make my fourth (and final, for 2012) tree skirt! Yay for custom orders!

SMS Giveaway Day!

December is here, which is insane. Truly. I've enjoyed participating in Sew Mama Sew's giveaway day several times now, and today, I'm sharing a box of scraps!

This box holds just over 2.5 pounds of scraps. Yes, 2.5 POUNDS. I love to use scraps, and I thought I'd share the love!

Some of these pieces are more like fat quarter size. There are lots of modern fun fabrics in here!

To enter, just leave a comment (only one!) and make sure I have a way to contact you (if you are a no-reply blogger, you have to leave me an email address!).

I usually include international winners, but for this giveaway, U.S. participants only. This box is too heavy to economically ship elsewhere!

Thanks for visiting today. I'd love it if you came to visit another time, but I know you've got tons of giveaways to enter right now! Head on over to Sew Mama Sew to enter more giveaways! I'll choose a winner Friday morning!

ETA: Comments are now closed. Thanks!
