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.
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!

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!
ReplyDeleteHow 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. :)

Both of your offerings are wonderful but the bag is over the top! My reading lately has been trashy reality escaping books so I am not the person to ask what to read. I enjoyed the movie Thor but I like action adventure movies! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteAn oldie but a goodie- The Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood.
