Drawing Anyone?

We have not had a drawing for a prize in a little while...so, to celebrate my return home today (sometime later on)...here are two patterns for you! One drawing...for both patterns. I'll pick a random comment first thing Monday morning, and try to contact you...if I can get an email to you...you have to just let me know where to mail them. Just leave a comment...that's all...easy peasy! First pattern is a lovely Christmas Stocking...monograms and holly..and the stocking is large...

 ...plenty of apples and oranges....or lumps of coal will fit in here!

 Next, a cute little pattern for a penny rug...

...done in wools traditionally...these also look sweet in felts...siting on a little table. Or even under the pet bowls! Seriously...I would so put one there if I had one. Hey, why don't I keep this and do it for Buddy! No, too late...I'm gonna keep my word and let y'all have all the fun.    Edited at 12:09 on Monday, 15 October: FINALLY... WE HAVE A WINNER! After randomly drawing three other numbers...and sending emails...(more than once) for two of the ladies...without response after a week. And the first number drawn...didn't have an email on her profile...so I could not even send a note of winning. The final winner is Pam! And, I'm glad to see her win something...as she is a close friend that always comments on the drawings...and I never have drawn her number. So, today as her lucky day!!

Paying it Forward Challenge

Here are the simple rules...as explained to me over on http://grandmagogreen.blogspot.com

The first five folks to comment on this post..will get a prize, handmade by me! Each is required to post the same challenge (and provide their own five handmade prizes)...so if you are not prepared to play...don't post. Of course, more than five can post and play...but I only have five prizes to hand out. LOL!

My prizes will be a set of these earrings from my Studio. So, ready to pay it forward? Let's start a feel-good-movement!

I'm Just Soooooo Excited!

Look what came in the mail!

This is the beaded tassle I won from SharDon Exclusives in the One World One Heart event...and it is stunning! I wish you could see it up close and real!

Sharon is so special, she created a little chest for the tassel and mailed it in a special box!

Both are a works of art! She even included a little note tag. And I just love the little chest...it will be a permanent storage for the tassel.

 If you love designer level jewelry...and really, who doesn't! Just hop on over to Sharon's blog SharDon Exclusives and enjoy photos of all of her beaded jewelry! Stunning!

Thank you again Sharon! I'm in love with this tassel...
