So without further delay, the two lucky winners of Eye Pillow Kits are:

It's giveaway time!!!

I'm really excited about my new DIY Craft Kits and I would love to get your help with getting wider distribution and sales! I need your thoughts and suggestions on which stores in your area might be a good fit for me to contact about carrying my kits.

As a thank you for your ideas, I'll draw the names of 2 lucky winners and each winner will receive:
1) Couch Potato Lavender DIY Eye Pillow Kit - These feature exclusive Scarlet Fig designed fabric
1) Wing Through Customs Passport Cover DIY Kit - These feature Anna Maria Horner designed fabric and a hand stamped passport label with my design

Here's what I think in terms of what kinds of stores I should target, but I'm anxious to hear what you think...
-Independent home goods / home accessories boutiques. They probably carry indie designers.
-Small fabric or crafting stores.
-Online fabric/supplies stores might also be a good fit.

I'm totally overwhelmed...And a winner!

Wow. You guys are amazing. All of the really wonderful and supportive (and very funny!) comments have really touched me. I can't believe there were 329 comments posted! Thank you a million times over for visiting and taking a look at what I do!!! Getting off the corporate hamster wheel and following this creative path has been such a wonderful process. I'm just tickled pink that you like my fabrics.

And now without further sloppy gushing, the winner is....

Congratulations to Ly+Alan. I hope you'll send a picture of what you make with the Birdies on Chairs fabric!

To Gina F, I laughed really hard at your story of accidentally running over your daughter's book bag. Thanks for a great giggle.

And to Lisa from Musings from the Mama Bear, your special needs Bud Bird...that featherless torso! So glad he has you and your family to love him. I had a cat that used to pull all of his fur out and my friend called him Cat Jerky since he was so skinny and ratty looking. But I loved him anyway!!

Thanks again everyone! What a super fun day reading all your comments. And I've got some really fun stuff in the works, so if you'd like to be added to my mailing list, just post a comment with your address and you'll be the first to see the new kits! (tease, tease, tease....)

And I also got a wonderful surprise tonight! I won some vintage fabric scraps during Giveaway Day from the delightful Dallas from For the Journey! You must go see her photography! The sunflower photos are so beautiful they literally made me gasp.

It's Giveaway Day!

UPDATE: There are so many blogs doing giveaways and to make sure everyone has a chance to see as many people as possible, I'm extending my giveaway until midnight (Central Time) TONIGHT, Thurs. 12/4.
