I’ve been blogging since 2009 – wow I can’t believe it’s
been that long. And here I thought I’d
have nothing to say. Bwahahaha! You can’t shut a Southern gal up once she
gets started LOL
I love folk art. The
more whimsical, the better! I’ve crafted
since forever and can’t imagine not having creations in my head. I’m happiest when I’m out in my studio either
creating or having friends over and teaching them something they’ve always
wanted to learn. I have more “I want to
do that”s on my bucket list than I’ll ever get done but it sure is fun trying.In honor of Vicki’s party, I’m giving away the creation you see below and it will be stuffed with surprises.
This is a wet-felted wool
basket with needle-felted locks under the brim.
And nope, not telling you what the surprises will be – you’ll just have
to wait for that! Just leave a comment
and be sure you either leave your email address or a link so that I can get in
touch with you if you win. The winner
will be chosen with the random generator the evening of Friday, February 1st
I recently changed service providers and had
to change my email address. And because
I used that address in a previous start-up blog, I can’t seem to figure out how
to change things here on blogger. But I will. In the meantime, if you need to contact me
directly, please email me at whimseyc@yahoo.com
Now go over to Vicki’s blog
party and have fun. But be sure to become
a Follower on my blog first so you’ll always know when I have a new post. Happy partying!
What a lovely giveaway! I've always wanted to try felting!!

ReplyDeleteHard to believe we have been blogging this long. I do know that you always inspire me to do better and to create. I just wish I lived close enough for you to show me how to make the lovely pieces you always make.

ReplyDeleteA familiar face on the GYB party train! I love the wool basket! I have tried making a wet felted basket and ended up with a thread catcher! Lots of work and effort went into your creation, making it a lovely giveaway that I would love to win!! I like the way you added the locks around the rim, nice touch!
ReplyDeletexo,
