A Handmade Giveaway

Posted on by DoWhatYouLove

This Giveaway is now closed. Thank you to everyone who entered!

Here it is! This is my handmade giveaway. I love to share with the world in many different ways. And I thought it would be a lot of fun to participate in this giveaway with a few things that I have made.

 

 

Shopping Bag with Pouch

 First is this Shopping Bag. I loved this fabric from the moment I saw it. I have been wanting to make re-usable shopping bags for a while now, so I finally broke down and bought a pattern and some fabric and went for it. I have been very pleased with the results. I have only made a few so far, but plan on making many more in the future. This bag comes with its own little pouch to store it in when not in use. When you are using the bag, the pouch clips onto the side of the bag so you don’t loose it!

 

 

Bluebird of Love

 Second is the little Bluebird of Love. This cute little guy is one of the many needle felted creatures I have created. He is only a couple inches long, so he makes a great little pocket pet, or would be a great company sitting in a special spot.

 

 

A Cozy Hat

 Third is a hat that I recently made. I love the color of this yarn, the gentle shading effect. This one should be hand washed and laid flat to dry. I hope it can bring warmth to you or someone you love. There is nothing better than a handmade hat on a chilly winter day! Well maybe accompanied by a cup of warm coco.

 

 

Boxed Set of Cards

 And last but not least is a set of five cards. Each card has a different image of a bird in flight. These beautiful photographs were taken by my significant other, Bernie. The humming bird you see in this photo is one of the cards, but I will leave the identity of the other four a surprise for who ever wins this package! They are all stunning, and capture the personality of the bird. These are blank greeting cards, so that you can fill them with your loving thoughts and best wishes to family and friends.

I hope who ever wins this little package is filled with as much joy receiving it as I will have by giving it! To enter please leave a comment on this post telling me something that you love to do. Please enter only once, so that everyone has an equal chance. The deadline for entering this giveaway will be at 12:00am PST Saturday January 31st. I will pick the winner at random and contact them that weekend. This giveaway is open to everyone. Please be sure to include your e-mail in your entry so that I am able to reach you if you are the winner. If I can not get a hold of the winner by February 7th, I have the right to randomly pick another winner.

  64. I love to spend time with my 2 daughters and my granddaughter.
    Thanks for the fab giveaway!! We are great fans of hummingbirds and consider them our “family bird” as my grandparents always had hummers, and we’ve all carried on the tradition of feeding them.
    Take care and have a good week!

  70. What an impressive batch of homemade goodies! The reusable shopping bag is such a terrific idea.

  92. I love that cute little felted bird! I’m always impressed with anyone that can needle felt!

    Hmm my favorite thing to do? I really enjoy waking up Saturday morning, no alarm blaring of course. My husband sound asleep {though probably snoring} and my baby girl sleeping {again snoring lol} next to our bed. It’s one of the best feelings in the world.

  95. Those are all such great things!

    Something that I love — I love to bring a smile to someone….so I like to bake cookies for our neighbors or make a couple meals (and freeze them) to give to our elderly neighbor who lost his wife a year ago. It just feels good to make people smile.

  108. I love birds, but I can’t have any because I’m allergic to feathrs. I do watch them out of my window. I think the Meadow Lark is my favorite because of the beautiful song it sings in the spring. Count me in, I’d love to win. Good luck to all.

  111. I love sitting in front of the fire with a big cup-o-joe and my soft blanket and sock monkey slippers on reading a Stephen King novel. Best of all it will be snowing or a spooky storm with thunder and lighting with the winds blowing. Ok, ok, so I do get carried away.

  113. I love to take a candlelit bubble bath after I put my 2 boys to bed. It is the most relaxing part of my day and makes falling alsleep so much easier.

  121. This is a little more something I did as a kid, but if I still lived on the farm I would do it. I love to dig holes like in a garden area, fill them with water and sit there with my feet dangling in the hole on a hot summer day 🙂

  124. The bag is GORGEOUS!! I love the fabric!!

    Something I love to do… READ! I think I could read all day if there weren’t so many other things that I had to do.

    Reply

  128. very generous giveaway package, thank you! Something I love to do is read, curl up on a cold day under my heated throw (since I don’t have a fireplace!) and relax a bit. It gives me some time to spend alone, and a break from the demands of motherhood and being a wife…

  148. What a wonderful giveaway. I’m doing a handmade one also. I hope you’ll stop by. One of my favorite things to do is curl up on the couch to read while my children practice piano or guitar. It just fills me with such contentment.

  156. I love to get my fingers on my piano again. It’s been so long since I played her because I had a baby recently, and you know how time and attention consuming baby is. Oh, and my piano name’s Gertrude. She is a standing black Yamaha.

    Reply

  158. Lately my favourite thing to do is to sit with children and sing songs. I clap with my youngest (10 months) and listen as my oldest (three years) struggles with the words or skips over the ones he doesn’t know. My favourite is when he combines two songs together. I could do that all afternoon.

  182. I love starting the day with a cup of tea and a bit from whatever I’m reading at the time. It’s nice to have some time for me before another busy day starts, plus unlike my neglected knitting, which I love but simply don’t have the time for right now, it takes little concentration and set up–ten minutes and I’m good. Thanks for the giveaway, I really love the little bluebird of happiness!

  188. My favorite thing to do at the moment is couponing. I spend alot of time planning out my meals and searching through ads and checking coupons and making list. Thanks.

    Reply

  189. Wow, an amazing giveaway. I love handmade things! That fabric on the bag, total swoon. 🙂

    My passion is counted cross-stitch. These days, it’s done in stolen minutes with a toddler running around, but that makes what I finish all the more precious. I love to give my stitching as gifts.

    Thanks, Kiy
