Christy's Craft Challenge - January 2009
Here's my entry in Christy's Craft Challenge: a receipt holder and notebook!
The January challenge was to use the green paper, state fabric, brads, rubber bands and embroidery floss. How did I do it? Well, the wallet uses the state fabric, as well as some Ikea fabric from my stash. The closure on the wallet is part of a rubber band, and the button (also from stash) is sewn on with the embroidery floss. The notebook uses the green paper for backing and brads to hold it together. I went one step further and cut up the information sheet to use for paper in the notebook!
The piece of state fabric I received had Nebraska, so of course I had to utilize that bit! I also like the compass on the front.
There are more entries at Christy's flickr group. Check out the competition, then go to the poll and vote for your favorite (um, just so you know, the receipt holder is your favorite).

Giveaway Saturday
There is a lesson for today's drawing: be prepared, and be prepared *early*!
There will be a drawing for today, but life gets in the way of posting sometimes.....(Jessica had a flat tire on the interstate, and we've had to put aside most of this morning's activities to get that taken care of....everything's fine, so don't worry.)
So, no pictures yet, but today's giveaway is an adult size, reversible apron! One side is the Alexander Henry "In the Kitchen" print, in the blue colorway. The bottom fabric in this image.
We're in Central City to visit my parents now, and will be back at the home computer late this evening to post the picture.
Go ahead and leave a comment to be entered in the drawing....comments for all drawings are open until Noon on Sunday, January 25.

Giveaway Friday
You know from previous posts that I'm involved in the craftster ANOTHER Pin Cushion Swap Round 10. (But don't worry Stacy, this isn't a spoiler!)
The inspiration for today's giveaway is one of several rescued quilt blocks. Whenever I see lonely quilt blocks, I usually manage to give them a home in my sewing room, where they play with other lonely quilt blocks. This is a 'friendship star' block, about 4" finished, made with batik background and solid color fabric star. It's a very pretty little block on it's own, but it wanted to be a useful thing...so, with a little bit of backing fabric, some thread and polyfil, that lonely little block is now a pretty little pin cushion!
She's almost too pretty to poke! Wait, what's this? Oh my, what sharp little points you have my dear!
Want to win this pretty little pin cushion? Just leave a comment and on Sunday I'll use a random number generator to pick a lucky reader!
Be sure to enter the other drawings, and check back tomorrow for one more prize. The drawings will be on Sunday, and I'll post winners Sunday evening. Thanks for reading!

Giveaway Thursday
Today's giveaway is just in time for a Valentine's Get-away.
Use these love handles on your luggage!
They'll help coordinate your mis-matched luggage, and you'll know exactly which black bag is yours when it comes around on the carousel.
For those so inclined, the wraps also make car seat straps a little snazzier!
Just leave a comment today and a random number generator will pick a winner on Sunday. Be sure to check back tomorrow and Saturday for more chances to win!

Giveaway Wednesday
In my never-ending quest to encourage craftiness in others, today's giveaway is one yard of flannel "Celebrate!" by Marna for Free Spirit fabric.
It's so pretty and cozy!! The print and colors are amazing: pretty wrapped packages and little birds, in gorgeous yellows, blues and pinks, all on a bright-white background.
What can you do with a yard of flannel? Make a yummy pillowcase, cute skirt for your kiddo, some cozy pants for a new baby, use it in a quilt, or just finish the edges and you've got a great toddler lovey. I'd love to know what you'd make with it, so leave a comment to be entered in the drawing!
Don't sew? Well, you can still leave a comment, and let me know. I'll turn it into a pillowcase for you before sending it off!
Remember to comment on yesterday's post, and come back tomorrow for another giveaway!
