A finish & A winner!

"Sleigh Bells"

design by Country Rustic Primitives

Gosh! I feel so bad... Here I have a giveaway and then I disappear for a few days...

It's that crazy holiday time of year ~ busy at work and busy at home.

Crafting time has been slow going, but I did have one finish of the pillow above. Did you notice the little added fabric on the right? I stitched left to right and when I got to the end, I realized that when I started it very late one night I must have miscalculated the length of fabric - YIKES! So I had to "make do" and will just call it primitive lol. I appliqued a bit of leather colored wool and added some vintage jingle bells to make my piece complete.

So on with the winner...

I received 51 responses to my giveaway question (via comments and emails) and I am so excited about all of the wonderful music that was recommended! I've created a long list of music to investigate. I usually try to get CD's from the library for a trial run and to see if it is "purchase worthy", then create a wishlist of CD's to buy. Right now the library has a limit of 4 holiday CD's per person, but the day after Christmas I'm going to put my reserve list out for bunches! Lol! I'll be listening to Christmas music into February :) Thank you so much for the awesome response and all of your thoughtful recommendations ~ I truly appreciate it!

I used the random number generator and it picked #50!

Roberta of Cottonwood Lane Primitives is the winner!

Please send me your mailing address and I will ship ASAP...

not sure it will get there by Christmas, but we can try!

I'm hoping for another post or two before the holiday. I really wanted to share some of my decorations and a lovely swap that I was in this month...

And the monthly giveaways will continue in 2012 :)

Thanks again for participating!

Blessings, Patti
