A Double Thank You and Happy Halloween!!

I have been on a lucky winning streak lately!

I won this cute pillow from By Your Hands Blog made by Colleen of  Needles-n-Pinsstitcheries.

Once my son saw it he claimed it his, because he is the "Pillow King".  

When I can't find him I have learned to start looking under piles of  pillows.

My next lucky win was from Pamela of It's Just Frankly Kute.

 This fun Halloween Plate from her Blog and this fun little ghost from her Facebook page!

She also added this great material bowl.  

Since I try my best not to ever sew this was a really amazing bowl to behold!

 Thank You ladies for the fabulous giveaways and for picking my name!

It is always a great time to win a fabulous prize!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ONE AND ALL!

Hope you have an enjoyable candy filled day,

Barb

My Winnings from Vicky's Art Blog

 Well it was Christmas in July here at my house.  

I was the lucky winner from Vicky's Art Blog Summertime Giveaway!!

Not only did I win this FABULOUS Watermelon Welcome sign but a multitude of fun gifts!

 She sent one of her Whimsical Folk Art Patriotic Chickens!

She even shares her tutorial on how to make them HERE.

She knows I am allergic to fabric and sewing!! 

I kept finding all these goodies!  

Chickens and Watermelons. 

 The little ceramic ones are measuring cups--who would have thunk!?! 

Then a patriotic apron, salt and pepper shakers in the shape of stars and a patriotic candle holder....great way to light the sparklers outside!

It was Christmas in July at my house and my kids thought I had ordered all this for my Birthday!

No just the generosity of a true blog friend!

If you haven't visited Vicky's blog or shop you are missing out!

THANK YOU Vicky for all the goodies!!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day,

Barb

OK, my last win from my lucky week....

OK, my last win from my lucky week....now you know I will be in a dry spell for a long time so I had to enjoyed every minute of sitting by the steps rain, snow or shine waiting for the post lady to come!!

I happened to be on Facebook and as we all know I am FB untrained.

I saw that Sue Allemand, an artist I have admired for years was having a giveaway of her art on her FB page.  She is what I consider a "BIG BRUSH"!

AWESOME ARTIST!!

I signed up and figured I had done it wrong...what's new?!

She then messaged me on FB to tell me I had WON.  

 I messaged her back and just in case I did that wrong I e-mailed her.  

Apparently excited?

 She sent me these WONDERFUL prints!!!

 I am going to frame them in black and hang them on the wall in the hallway that looks like it could use some help.

They are the perfect colors!!!

Yet again photos (and me taking the photos with a camera that needs to be replaced) does not do these any sort of justice!  The are MAGNIFICENT!!

Thank you so much Sue.

Cannot wait to get them framed and on the wall!

Not that I am ready for a dry spell but I think I have had my share of good luck lately!!

Enjoy,

My lucky week did not stop there!

I was in the middle of ONE LUCKY week!

Not only did I win from the FAAP group but Felicia of Raggedy Creations had a giveaway and I won this FABULOUS penny rug!!

It is wonderfully stitched and I am curious as how does one make it so every stitch is the perfect size and shape?  What a mystery and/or is it AWESOME talent?!?!

I am going with the later!  

TOTAL TALENT!!

It measures 16 1/2 inches round.  I think I will be putting this on my dinning room table with severe warnings to my kid:  "NOT TO TOUCH...It is like a Museum piece".

Once again photos just do not do this wonderful piece of art justice!!

Thank you so much for this FABULOUS Creation Felicia.

Now it makes me wish I could even hold a needle and thread and not break out into hives!

No I still have to leave this to the professionals like Felicia!!

Last week was my lucky week!!

I was one of the lucky winners from the Folkart and Primitive Artist Team giveaway.  

Click HERE to see the team blog.  

I won 5 wonderful creations!!  

I will be featuring them each by the order I received them.  

I won this FABULOUS bunny with his carrot from Carol of Buttermilk Creek Farm. 

 He is exquisite!

She had this little sweetie bundled up nicely in this fun tissue paper with such a sweet card.

This is how Carol described him to me: 

 He is a very sweet little bunny made of aged muslin and he brings with him his favorite carrot made of polymer clay and sweet annie. He sits upon a cushion made from an antique wool army blanket that is filled with crushed walnut shells to help keep your pins and needles sharp. There is also a Civil War era "bone" button attached with straight pins for embellishment.

Once he came and I explained to my son about the Civil war bone button and the military blanket....next thing I know he has decided it is his-NOT!!

As we all know photos just do not do the creations justice and this one is no exception...just to fabulous!!

I cannot Thank Carol enough for this wonderful creation!!

THANK YOU!!

Her talent is beyond compare.
