Blog Anniversary Giveaway 1 Year!

That's right! This week I had my 100 post and November 3rd is my one year blog anniversary! I decided to combine the two and have a giveaway. What better day to tell you about it than on PINK Saturday since I have some PINK in my giveaway.

When I started my blog I knew zero about blogging just read that blogging was a good way to get folks to my Ebay listing and website. Well blogging is so much more!! It's like having friends with you all the time day or night. It's still hard for me to share the things that go on in my life daily but I'd like to do that even if I think people won't be interested. Sometime we need to just do something and not worry about it.

I'm going to have two giveaways. This first one is for my followers. It amazes me that people like my blog enough to follow me - it warms my heart and puts a smile on my face! Thanks you followers every one of you! On November 3rd a name will be pulled from all my followers and they will get the three pot sitters in the photo below I'll even throw in the PINK bench!

The second giveaway is for everyone who leaves a comment on this post. On November 3rd I'll pick a name from all the comments.

Two Gooseberry Patch books.

Christmas 2008 10th Anniversary & Chistmas 2009 Book 11

Handmade pillow using vintage linens.

This is so sweet! A bowl with two little birds.

It could be a bird feeder, candy dish or maybe a soap dish.

This is my first needle felted bear Benny.

He needs a good home!

A beautiful handpainted rose plate.

So here are the rules:

1. If you are a follower or become a follower on 11/3 your name will be in the drawing for the pot sitters and pink bench.


2. Leave a comment on this post to win the 2nd giveaway. Drawing will be on 11/3.


3. If you put my giveaway badge on your blog please leave a 2nd comment and tell me for another chance to win.

Hope you understand all this it's about 1:30 AM and I'm really tired. Email me with any questions.

Warm hugs,

PINK Saturday 6/6

A few weeks ago I took my sister Cheri out to lunch for her birthday and then we did a little shopping. What else do you do after lunch!

And I found this cute pink bench.

And thought it would be perfect for some of my needle felted critters.

This bear was my first needle felting project.

Here's a snowman all decked out in Pittsburgh Steeler / Penguin colors!

This robin kinda looks cute on the bench.

These lambs look sweet on a pink bench.

And here is Hildie the country mouse...she's going to the Mouse Ball.

There are still many more felt critters hanging around the house and they are multiplying! Do you think I should try to sell them? How do you decide how much to charge? I've never sold anything I've made...maybe I should just buy more benches!

Don't forget to visit Beverly's blog How Sweet the Sound and see the list of everyone participating in PINK Saturday.

Warm wishes,

A New Project Needle Felting

Hi Everyone, It's been awhile since I've posted but it's Pink Saturday so here is a little PINK I've just needle felted. I had never heard of needle felting until recently while visiting in blogland and seeing some wonderful needle felted sculptures. Last week I received my first kit from Lowell Country Designs of a Polar Bear. My bear is a little different from the kit (it's all white) and I put a pink scarf around her neck. I've never done any doll or bear making and this was fun.

Now my little Blue Bird of Happiness is my own design and she's all wool. She's sitting on a vintage egg cup. I also made that little yellow peep. I've been spending hours on the computer searching for needle felting to learn as much as I can. There are many exceptional artists doing needle felting and many are willing to share their knowledge.

Thanks for visiting today and please let me know what you think of my needle felting projects.
