Want a pincushion?? Who doesn't!

Stick it to 'em

 I have been blogging now for approximately six months and it's time to celebrate! I have a lot to learn about it, but just starting and keeping it going was a challenge for me. I am ever grateful for people reading my words and making thoughtful comments.

I try to write a 5 minute article every other day. It would make me so happy if you signed up to receive it daily...I'd do a happy dance!!

 I would like to gift one of you with your choice of pin cushions. I have three for you to choose from... the "FLY" hand-painted and beaded bird, the cutest mouse called "choose imperfection" or the "Fabric Hound" with multi-colored felt body, hand embroidery and a few beads. He will help you choose your next fabric.


If you would like to win a studio mascot, made by my own two hands, please leave a comment saying which one of these lovelies you'd like to win.

And thank you for choosing my blog for your reading pleasure. May I suggest the labels: creativity roadblocks click here, just plain silly lookie here, or the pages at the top if you are new around here.

love, good luck,
LeeAnna

    What a fabulous giveaway! It's been a lot of fun following your blog so keep it up. I love the mouse- I always tell everyone that my patronus would be a mouse, so it'd make sense to have one guarding my studio!

    LeeAnna, I enjoy your blog and get a "color fix" when I open it to this wildly colorful Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt--best GFG ever! You keep it interesting and inspire us to blog more often! The pincushions are precious--my favorite is the bird . . . or the mouse.

    Probably the mouse. I love pincushions but my grandchildren think I am cruel to stick pins into my birds. I don't know if they'll be OK about the pins in that cute mouse either. But things must be useful as well as decorative in my sewing room so I'll put in the pins and they'll take them out. Thanks.

    I've just found your blog through the blog hop and I'm so glad I did. I've added you to my Bloglovin feed. What a wonderful giveaway. I am so torn between the bird and the mouse, so I guess if I was luck enough to win I would let you toss a coin and decide which to send on. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win.
