* * MY GAIN IS YOUR GAIN GIVEAWAY * * and stuff

Do I have you attention? I knew I would!
I have hit the 71 mark on followers....me???? How exciting is that? Okay, it is to me!
Time to reward my followers with some sewing goodness.

First: I have been sewing but not completing, I am trying my hand at a fabric luggage tag.
I was inspired to make them for a couple of reasons:
*I am going on a trip in two weeks!!!! Par-tay in So Cal!
*I am in two apron swaps and need little giftees and one of my swapees is a traveler
*I got some great labels that just scream coming home (here's where the giveaway comes in)


My mess.

I didn't like this one....too plain.  Yes, the buttonhole is crooked. :-p~~~

Making this frame was too fussy

 After being frustrated for too long, I made a pie.
I will be eating a slice for breakfast in just a few minutes. It's been in the fridge alllll nniigghhhttt lloonnnggggg)



***the giveaway part***

One of my inspirations is part of the giveway!!!

I am a member of the Sweetwater Label Crew and they accidentally sent me TWO -2 of this month's little craft kits.
I don't need  two kits, sooooooooooo
My gain is now your gain!!!! This little kit is giveaway number 1.

    Now must I say (please don't delete my comment for admitting this) I don't even like chocolate pie but that looks really good. maybe I should pretend it is lemon or something.

    Now that I have said all that...I sew, I quilt, I cook, I made a couple of cute kids and want to learn how to knit (I haven't told hubby that one yet)

    me again, katmom....
    I have been sewing off and on for what seems like forever.... I love making & give sewing gifts...and have had a blast on a bunch of Shawnee's Flrity Apron Swaps... and I especially luv re-purposing fabric (clothes) into aprons, totes and even kiddie clothes..so the re-purpose book would be a fantastic win!
    Happy 'almost' friday.

    About my sewing crafting self: I'm a hobby sew-er(is that a word?) I love to sew aprons and love working with recycled wool bits. Really if there is a craft I'll try it. I love creating and crafting!

    I couldn't figure out what you meant by "following!" *chuckle* So, I don't do the whole Google Friend Connect thing, but I've been subscribed to your blog for a long time!

    And I think pie is perfect for breakfast, myself!

    (PS: Yes, I have TWO blogs! I thought you knew that already *laugh*)
