crafting a life…
If you can’t get enough of great giveaways, then this one is definitely for you!
Old Red Barn Co. is giving away the most beautiful quilt! One very talented and generous crafter, it’s in celebration of her 200th post. Then there’s a cute pincushion being offered up at The Village Shop. I will be doing a giveaway soon. I think for the Spring Equinox. Yes, that sounds like a good day…
Okay, so maybe I didn’t need all the capital letters, but I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve posted! I do have an excuse! Several, actually. First our OLD PC died. Really, one minute it was there, and the next it was not. She was 8 years old, though. That’s like 160 in computer years. Then we had to decide what we were going to replace her with. We now have a shiny new Macbook that is so fast it brings tears to my eyes. Seriously. Of course, I wasn’t that handy on the computer to begin with and now I have to get used to a whole new way of doing things. I still haven’t loaded my pictures, so you’ll have to wait for a future post to see all the goods I’ve been working on. My mother and I are also lamenting the loss of Solitaire Showdown. My mom lives in the Northeast and we love our cross-country solitaire games. For those of you not familiar…Solitaire Showdown is a game on MSN Messenger, only apparently it’s just for Windows. I was able to download a version of messenger for Macs, but no games, just messaging. Bah, I’ve made my mother and me incompatible!! I need to get one of those books for Dummies… I used my time off, perusing more and more of your blogs. So much wonderful stuff out there. There are a bunch of great giveaways out there right now, too. Lille Ursus is offering up some of her adorable kids clothes, and Katherine at ‘Sew me something good has some great bags. And if you’ve never heard of Mod-Mom, you must go there! Tons of fabulous giveaways and a plethora of useful and interesting info. Of course, there is always Sew Mama Sew, who has brought back Free Fabric Friday! Moving on…Both kids came down with a tummy bug that has ben making the rounds the last few weeks. It nabbed Miss A last night- at 4am! I am a zombie. She is back to normal already. I am crossing my fingers that it’s a ‘kids only’ bug. All this, plus a 3 day business trip of Rob’s set me back in the crafting department for a bit. I am finishing up a few projects, though. And then, I think I will do a giveaway of my own. I’ll post it up at Sew Mama sew as I don’t think all that many people are actually reading this, so…And next time there will be pictures!!
