Everyday Crafty Goodness

Mia wanted a quilted bookmark but I thought that was too easy so I made her a bookcover instead (I’ll still make a bookmark for you Mia!).  The fun part was trying to figure out how to make a cover that will adjust to different thicknesses and I think I did it!  What I really like about making things is the problem solving aspect and it’s so satisfying when you figure something out.

The bookcover can also “close” the book so it doesn’t get ruined sitting in a bag with a million other things.  Hope you like it Mia!

Coasters for sillyc.  Made with vintage scraps and charcoal linen.  I really like the contrast of the cool sophisticated linen against the colorful scraps.

So 3 down, 4 more prizes to make!

Yay, I’ve decided to make a little something for EVERYONE who left a comment!  I didn’t get to make everything this long weekend but I hope to have them all done by this week.  Here’s what I’ve made so far…

 Coasters for Gee (and Sophia)

Zippered pouch for Sharon

OK, I’m ready to make something to give away!  When you leave a comment, please indicate whether you would like a doll quilt or a zippered pouch.  You can also request something else made with the above pieces (coasters, bag, etc.) and I’ll try to make them but no promises.

I’ll randomly pick one of the comments left by midnight tomorrow (5/25, EST) and will reveal the winner and prize on Tuesday.  Who are you people who’s been reading my dinky little blog?  It’s time to delurk!  Don’t be shy!

I thought I’d entice you folks with a promise of something made with superbuzzy fabric.  I haven’t quite decided what to make yet but I’ve narrowed it down to either a doll quilt or a quilted pouch.  Maybe I’ll let the winner pick.  It’s good to have choices.

So leave a comment tomorrow and you’ll be entered into a drawing for something I will make.  The odds of winning should be pretty good!
