We Have A Winner!

I bet you thought the day would never get here.  This has been a whole lot of fun for me.  I have never had so many comments and entries as I have for this.  Before I announce the winner I would like to take a moment to thank all of you who have left comments lately.  Not only entries here but comments on all my post the last 2 weeks.  You've left me with tears and smiles.  I've laughed and cried.  I've felt uplifted, warmed, hugged and appreciate.  Well, ya'll've (I know, not a real word just the Southern shortening) all just plain out made me feel special and to be honest a little spoiled.  I sure hope you don't go away and not come back.  And I really hope when time allows that you'll leave a word to just let me know you've been by.  

For those who haven't heard from me yet, I really am trying to get to you.  I've gotten a little mixed up between, all the post and kindness but it's all touched my heart so much.

I know, who's the winner Tracy.    

The winner is Jan @ The Polka Dot Barn!!!!!   

Congratulations Jan,  email me your address and I will get it headed your way.

Heart Felt Hugs To You Friends.............Tracy :)

The Giveaway I Promised Finally

Giveaway is Closed

I been promising for awhile but it's finally time.  I can't get a decent picture for anything but here it goes anyway.  I had this together before everything went haywire here.  My MIL is back home and free time between Neil and her is at a premium.

I want each of you to know how very much each of you mean to me.  A year ago, I could have never dreamed how of having so many friends and how much they you would mean me.  Virtual Friends, what's that?   You are very real to me.   It's just so great to know that there are people that care through the good and bad.  I love seeing bits of everyone's lives, what they're making, what they're doing, the great photos, their vacations.  It's wonderful to be able to share the good and the bad, to know there are others like you.  Real life.  I hope you  know your comments mean the world to me.  They brighten each and everyday.   Thank you all for seeing me through a difficult year and making it so much brighter.


So on with the show.  

First off, I've created a special apron.  It is totally up-cycled, from the soft white bed sheet to the old tulle.  I love soft worn sheets to sew with and this one had a beautiful battenburg lace trim.  I added bits and pieces of old tulle, lace napkins, doilies and created a flower.

2nd, I made a quilted tote bag to keep you're crafts in or take to the library with you.

3rd, I found this cute little silver sugar bowl and made a pincushion out of it. I love it ahd had so much fun making it.

4th, look at this cute little globe.  Isn't it just the cutest thing.  Apparently a Paris Souvenir with an etching of the Eiffel Tower and Paris inside.

5th, this darling little jar I found with cherries in the top.  I filled it with button.

6th, is the pink glass bottle filled with lavender buds.  I used to never like the smell of lavender but it's true it is very calming and relaxing.  If you have sinus problems like me, it really helps.

7th, a few little vintage postcards.

Now for the details.
