Have any of you heard about the amazing Giveaway Day events on the Sew, Mama, Sew blog? Holy smokes, what a dream for me (have you noticed I'm a contest junkie?)! If you visit the blog you'll find three hyperlinked lists. Each list contains a TON of blogs that are participating in Giveaway Day and are raffling off sewing supplies, handcrafted items, or both. I estimate I entered at least 200 of the contests!
I obviously didn't submit my blog for the event, but I'm interested in doing a little giveaway. I'm curious what people would like to see given away though... You can browse back through my blog to see the projects I've worked on, but I'd also be more than willing to try out a new idea. Feel free to comment with your suggestions, or else I'll just figure something out on my own!
I actually did a bit of sewing recently, but I can't post photos of the item yet. It's sitting at home, waiting to be wrapped up in a birthday package. It was nice to pull the cover off my sewing machine finally - after weeks and weeks of unproductive laziness. Now I've got my eye on this tutorial and maybe this one, and I'm interested in making curtains for Chloe's room.
Secondly, browsing through the photographs on my cell phone always helps to remind me what I've been up to since I wrote last. I was happy to come across this beauty:
That's right, one of our favorite local bands, The Builders and the Butchers, will be playing a handful of presumably FREE shows in the Portland area this August. I highly recommend that if you have the chance to check these guys out, that you do. Need a preview? Here's a video of a song from their most recent album. Oh man, they are so good.
