December's Giveaway

noreply@blogger.com (Maureen) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:54:00 +0000

Good luck to all of you in on Leanne's adorable November giveaway. With Thanksgiving dinner already just a pleasant memory the "busy-ness" of Christmas preparation begins! While you wait to learn who the lucky winner is I thought I'd go ahead and get the December giveaway posted. My giveaway ties in with some CPLG ebay auctions that will be starting (we hope!) Dec 4th. It seems our intentions are so good but other commitments or just the stuff of life sometimes get in the way of our crafting. We wanted to put a spin on the Christmas in July theme and so we will be listing some Star Spangled Christmas goodies. Think July in Christmas and here it is:

I'm going to keep this one simple. Just leave a comment and you will be in the drawing for my Uncle Sam Christmas Stocking. I will draw the winner's name on Monday December 7th. Please be sure and leave contact info for prize notification. (The stocking is about 13 1/2 inches long, Uncle Sam/Santa is about 7 inches and the pattern was designed by Bettes Tomorrow Treasures)
We have enjoyed offering you a sampling of our creations during
our 2009 year of blog giveaways and are gearing up for 2010. We hope you have gotten to know us a bit and will continue to follow us here on our blog. We have all been effected by the economy woes but when you are in need of that special something, please remember to visit us in eBay-land.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a healthy,happy New Year!

And the Winner is....

It Is Time For The Giveaway!

noreply@blogger.com (Charlene) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:07:00 +0000

Hello everyone! It is time for the October giveaway. I just love the fall, and everything that goes with it. So, I thought I would punch up this awesome turkey design by Brenda Gervais called The Horn of Plenty, in wonderful fall colors.

I punched up this design on weavers cloth with my own hand dyed embroidery floss and Valdani pearl cotton. I turned it into a pillow, by stuffing it with sawdust, and just a little bit of lavender. The lavender smells wonderful. I attached a black and red plaid wool to the back. I finished off the edge with a black and burnt orange homespun yarn. I had a lot of fun making this pillow : ).

If you would like to enter the giveaway drawing, just leave a comment in the post and your email address, or a way I can get in touch with you if you are the winner.

On November 1st, I will put all of the names in a hat and have my fiance Dan draw the winning name : ) Check back then to see if you are the winner.

Good Luck everyone. And thanks for visiting our blog : )

Autumn has to be my most favorite time of year. When I moved up North, going on 4 yrs now, I got to really experience it in a new way. I adore Farmers Markets, apple cider, and the cool crisp air of Autumn.

Soooo, on to the giveaway, hee hee... That is why I chose this festive basket to decorate your home for this months giveaway. It's just a plain jane wooden twig basket with pumkins and a gourd mixed with beautiful colored Autumn leaves and berries. Also included in the giveaway is a bag of "Harvest Home" simmering potpourri - I plum forgot to toss it in the photo. Needless to say, it smells divine!

If you'd like to be included this month in the drawing, please leave your favorite Fall memory as a comment on this blog entry. Also, let me know your email or some way to get in contact with ya. I will hold the drawing on Thursday Oct. 1st and ship promptly.

~August GiveAway!~

noreply@blogger.com (primitivebettys) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 23:36:00 +0000

I'm posting this giveaway day early, but I'm going to be really busy tomorrow checking out and entering some of my wares in our local county fair. So, if you are signing up today, you can enter in both July and August. How is that for GREAT?! Trish will be posting a winner tomorrow ~ so don't delay!

Now for the August giveaway info ~

I've made this sweet prairie, stump dolly with a OOAK stitched apron. The dolly is called a stump doll because she does not have legs. I have formed her body from osnaburg & filled her with fine sawdust. For added detail, I have hand stitched the seams with linen thread. She is dressed simply, prim with a wool dress that is the color of olde parchment. Her bonnet/scarf is a scrap from an old grain sack that has been tied on with a strand of jute twine.

Her apron has been stitched with cotton floss on linen with early motifs ~ a horse, an olde key, flowers, and a cross. I've also stitched the initials 'MES'. Why MES? I have a great fondness for the woman that lived on our farm before us. Her name is Mary Elizabeth Sowers. :)

The dolly has been aged with my walnut & spice mix... adding instant oldness. I've trimmed her with a few rusty pins, a bell, and a sprig of preserved, Sweet Annie. (The Sweet Annie isn't in the photographs, but it is tucked into the jute around her waist.)

She measures about 10 1/2 inches from the top of her head to the edge of her dress and about 4 1/2 inches from hand to hand.

Now for the giveaway details & rules ~

This giveaway will end on August 31st. The winner will be drawn on September 1st, 2009.

To enter, you MUST sign up on THIS POST ONLY. AND, I have to have a way to contact you. If you do not have a blog with email info, be sure to include it on your post.

I'm not going to limit entries to those only in the US, BUT, if the winner lives outside of the US, the parcel will be sent at the least expensive rate. That means it may take longer to get there. However, I will be mailing out the dolly ASAP. I promise you that!

If you would like to know more about me ~ please visit my blog... primitivebettys. I craft in many different mediums ~ cross stitch, dolly making, rug hooking, and needle punch to name a few. I'm a cross stitch designer & my patterns are carried by two world-wide distributors. Oh, and if you like freebies... I have lots of them that you can link to from my blog.

Warm smiles to you all and best of luck on the giveaway!

Betty

Biscuit, my walking buddy

noreply@blogger.com (Doris) — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 20:00:00 +0000

I'd like you to meet the new love in my life. For Mother's Day this year my 81 year old neighbor recieved a 4 month old puppy from her son. His name is Biscuit and he is cute and sweet and a real fun lovin' guy! She doesn't like walking him, so I walk him every morning and it's a great way to start the day. I get to play and have fun with him for about 30 minutes every morning and then return him to his owner. I really look forward to our time together. Ain't he sweet???

CPLG Falloween and remember the blog giveaway

noreply@blogger.com (Maureen) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 19:18:00 +0000

Our Falloween listings are starting to appear on ebay. Check back throughout the week too because due to traveling, personal preference and general busyness, some of the gals will be listing later in the week. The beautiful hand hooked rug auction by cottoneyedjo will be easier to find if you search for her by her listing name rather than group initials only or just click HERE So use that eBay search box by typing in CPLG and try checking the little box that says include title and description....even MORE goodies pop up that way. I also wanted to remind you there's still time to leave a comment for Betty's giveaway contest. Just click here to return to her giveaway post. Thanks for visiting with us

And the July Winner is.....

Christmas in July

simplysweettoys@gmail.com (Marissa) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 21:16:00 +0000

If you are in need of a Christmas "fix" take a peek at this beautiful punchneedle ornament. I used a wool pennyrug pattern from an old issue of Country Marketplace magazine and made it into a punchneedle piece, then placed it into a metal candle lid. I'm still working on how to put a stylish hanger on it. Any ideas?

Some of the ladies of CPLG are doing Christmas in July auctions this year, please head on over and visit us on eBay.

A little crafting tip... if you are using the new corn eco-fill, don't put your crafts in the oven. I baked a doll last night and she needed to be re-stuffed afterwards. The eco-fill shrunk! I personally am not a fan of this stuff, but I have a box I have to use up then it's back to my favorite - poly fil. So soft!
