sharing

ssh..do you know I have something to tell you?

Do you remember a few days ago on my post about knitting, I featured the Poufik by EvaForeva

Well,  that lovely lady is hosting a giveaway for a... Poufik!!  Oh yes, I'm on my way to enter...and I thought you'd like to know.

 

I'll admit it..I did not want to tell you.  If no one knew, I could be the only entry and win!

But, friends are supposed to share so here it is...go here and enter and Good Luck (i think).

Happy Friday Friends

KNITTING NEEDLES Eclecticpelican

I do not knit. Really wish I did and would like to learn one day.  I just have always wanted to say..
knit one, purl two.

I do crochet.  Actually, I'm just getting back to it after many, many years.  I enjoy the feeling of peace and quiet crocheting brings with it. Unfortunately, my not so peaceful cluttered brain keeps butting in with "what ifs," making  it very hard to follow patterns.  You keep wondering what if you did it this way or that way instead.  Needless to say, I have some unfinished projects sitting in my bag.

 

Vintage Tapestry Knitting Bag

I did find some beautiful items that other wonderfully creative people have manage to finish...
thought I' d share them with you today.

The Poppies

To all my wonderful supporters a big ~ Thank You ~  the votes.. are so appreciated.

To all you funny cuties who gave me a such a chuckle with your tweets and convo's asking me
"who will you be voting for,  yourself or ethanollie of Trampoline?"

Hmmn... seeing as I lay claim to passing down a large part of the amazing talent she has (said with a very smug smile)
She on the other hand constantly inspires and raises the bar on me.

So  after much deliberation....  I  solved the problem.... I  ..........

voted for both of us  :)

Seriously, no matter who your favorites are

If you haven't voted  for your favorite artist, designer, photographer or seller yet.   Go Do It!  
They all work so very hard to add a little beauty to your world,  they deserve a little pat on the back.

Now go have some fun and vote!

my best of...

I hope everyone had a chance to relax a little new years day.

I managed to catch up on a little reading of my favorite blogs .  Thought I'd chirp in with a  few of my own "Best of 2009." 

One of the things I found to be a 'best' was holiday shopping on etsy.  Oh, and a few, were gifts I received!  Awesome items from amazingly talented sellers and the personal service could not be beat.
