-----------------------------------------
You reached the last blog of the blog hop and have a chance for a peek into my creative world also called "therapy" or "getaway".
Winter is pretty much over here in Texas and after a few days with a little sprinkling from the top the sun is back out and it already feels like a warm spring. While we are taking off for the a day in the sun and to the lake I leave you with a little giveaway.
I am giving away a pincushion and necklace. Both items are handmade. On the pincushions you can see my favorite type of pins I use for sewing. Flowerpins. There are thinner and a little longer as regular pins and even if I should sew over them and hit the flower head by accident my sewing machine needle won't break.
To enter all you need to do is leave a comment at the bottom.
This is the end of the blog hop, but if you happened to just jumped in here it starts right at missnance.blogspot.com/.
HAPPY BLOG HOPPING!
Both items are super cute!!! Thank you for the chance
ReplyDeleteLovely things and a nice blog, nice to meet you and glad you joined Our Craft Forum.

ReplyDeleteHi Nicole, what a shame we are at the end of our hop! :(
ReplyDeleteIt has been fun, hasn't it, and the best part is getting some lovely new members for our Craft Forum. Your giveaway is great. See you back over on the forum-Bye!- sandy.
Thanks for joining in on this blog hop. I have found a few new tips to make quilting a little easier and some new blogs that I would like to follow.
ReplyDeleteLove those pins! I use them all of the time for my projects :0) Still snowing up here in Washington!
ReplyDeleteIt's over already? lol It's been lots of fun checking out all the blogs and visiting a few old friends. I'm a big fan of the flower pins, too, and I would love to have that pincushion to stick them in :D See you on the forum.

I believe I have stopped to visit everyone and I have joined the forum also! I also use these pins! Have a fun get away! I am in Michigan where there is a lot of snow and it is still cold. Waiting for spring.
ReplyDeleteI've had such fun revisiting blogs I follow and following blogs I've only just found. We'll have to do this again sometime :D. Thanks for joining in Nicole!
ReplyDeleteI've so enjoyed this hop, finding new blogs along the way. I do like the sound of your chicken strips in beer batter, yum, maybe a treat for us tonight, because as you said, deep frying isn't the healthiest way to cook.
ReplyDeleteI have joined the forum and have enjoyed checking out your blog. I read blogs to learn about what others are doing out there in bloglandia. I have learned so many skills through the tutorials and tips that I have read. I also LOVE looking through the pics of what others are working on for inspiration. Off to the next blog.

I am a little sad to hear this is the end of this blog but it is probably for the best given how many wonderful new blogs I have added to my list to follow in the last day and a half. I have had such a lovely time.
ReplyDeleteBy the way your pin cushion is to die for and if I won I would almost have to keep it for myself but my darling sister is the black and white queen of our family (even her wedding dress was black and white) so I think I would have to be very kind and give it to her. Fingers crossed - she would just love it.
Love your blog. During the blog hop I joined the forum, met great people, and had fun reading lots of blogs. Thank you for a great time. Have a truly wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteI had fun visiting everyone on this hop and look forward to seeing you all again sometime. I love the pincusion, so cute!
ReplyDeletewow Ive completed the blog hop, lovely to finish with your lovely blog. Cute pin cushion and loved your photos of your mug rugs ..totally cool :-)
