FRIDAY {SURPRISE} PRIZE


The winner of the gorgeous Kokka fat quarter from from Fabricworm is...

Jessica, who said...
the first sewing project i ever did was a quilt, and it took, like, forever. so, i had to muster up a lot of energy to attempt a second one, that also took forever. then i found this website and learned that sewing projects can be done in a day, sometimes just an hour!
it's changed my life. i thought all sewing was like quilting, and quilting is hard and long (that's what she said... teehehe...)
but not all projects are! yay for you and your ideas that help me be creative!

And now you know that we can't resist a compliment... or a "That's what she said" joke.

Jessica, use the contact us form to send us your info. Winners have 5 days to contact us with their address before forfeiting their prize to another lucky reader.

And now...

I know, you guys are dying over the cuteness right? Me too. Well I'm so excited to tell you that this guy is this week's FRIDAY{SURPRISE}PRIZE. A few weeks ago Jocelyn from The Nesting Spot emailed to tell me that she had a gift for Vlad. A sock croc! And proceeded to surprise me with little glove creatures for the girls as well! How lucky are we?!? So of course I asked, how about a little something for a Prudent Mama? And then she let me pick the prize! I hope you like him. So, leave us a comment on any post this week. We will pick a winner next Friday and Jocelyn will send him off. Isn't it nice not to have to make something yourself every once in a while? Support handmade!

Absolutely incredible!
While I haven't yet tried my hand at any of your projects, your blog gives me inspiration in my work. When I need to break out of my rut, I come here. This is the hotspot for learning how to look at things in new ways and do things efficiently and elegantly. Isn't that a skill we all need no matter what we do?

That is the cutest! I was thinking about Halloween costumes today and was considering an under the sea theme with my son as an octopus, my husband as a jellyfish, and me as a mermaid.

Ruby's favorite toy for the longest time has been this monkey with ridiculously long arms and legs. She carries him (usually by putting as much of his face in her mouth as possible) and proceeds to run around the house, shaking him ferociously like a dog, and laughing hysterically. I would love to add this creature to her collection, not only because he has twice the limbs to shake, but also, think of the photo opportunities!

Here was my comment for last weeks,
You must be reading a ton of comments so I thought I would throw in something random, but yet relevant,
What is a seam ripper?
Jacks cousin!
I just watched a pretty good movie called "Time After Time" that had to do with jack the ripper. maybe it is fate that I end up with this to-die-for (ha, ha!) fat quarter?!! well if you have my sense of humor maybe!

This octopus is just beyond cute. As children's librarian, I'm going to be doing a preschool storytime about octopus (I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean, etc.) and this would just be perfect for that. Especially if I could find an even bigger whale...

Adorable! And timely: my little daughter, who is turning two at the end of this month just learned to say octopus, and is oddly very interested whenever we see them in books. We're expecting our second baby next month and in one of her frequent reads "Waiting for Baby" the older kid picks out a special gift for the baby-soon-to-come...and it's an octopus. When asked what she wants to get for a special gift for *her* baby brother, she now says: "octopus". Thank you for sharing such a great etsy shop!
