**THIS WILL BE A STICKY POST SO SCROLL DOWN FOR NEW POSTS**

In the spirit of my upcoming birthday, I have decided to give away one of my purses. I have been making purses like they're going out of style, and I have amassed several. I currently have several already made up and for sale in my Etsy Shop BeStitched, and I have a few more I'm finishing right now. They will be up on the site within the next week or so.

So, here's how this contest will work.

1. Go check out the purses section of BeStitched.
2. Put a link on your site to this contest AND BeStitched.
3. Leave your link on Mr. Linky, and you will be entered.

The contest will close at midnight on Saturday December 1st. I will announce the winner on my birthday, Sunday December 2nd, sometime before the end of the day.

It's Almost Pickin' Time And A Shameless Plug

That's right ladies (and gents, if there are any), it's almost time to pick the winner. Using this great little invention, the Random Number Generator, I will magically pick one awesome winner from the loooong list of entries. 145 to be exact, at the moment anyway.

I will be ending this contest today at 4 p.m. Central Time. So get your entries in quick!!!

As for the shameless plug, here it is. For those of you that just loved my little purse, I have plenty more where that came from. Visit my Etsy shop, and you can choose from several different colors. At the moment, no two are alike. I've been rummaging the remnant bin finding all sorts of cute little oddities, and it has been extremely fun, and addictive. I have two more that I'm making this afternoon, and I'll post pics of the fabrics in just a little while. For now, you'll just have to drool on these:

FINALLY!! I have managed to take pictures that might actually look almost like the real item!!!

The pictures of fabric are the ones that I am going to be making over the next day or so. If you are interested, let me know via email, and I can set it aside for you. The others are just a little eye candy of what is now available in my Etsy shop.

Giveaway!

COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED. THANKS FOR ENTERING!

Wow, that went quick! It's already time for the Rocks In My Dryer Bloggy Giveaway!

So here it is, my prize for the giveaway. I have been going purse crazy the last week, and I have a few really cute ones. The trouble of course, is deciding which one to give away.

So with the decision finally made, here is my offering for the giveaway:

As usual, the picture doesn't do it justice. It's a cute little shoulder bag. The fabric on the outside is a green with brown flowers, and the fabric on the inside is a reddish brown that also has some flowers. There is a pocket on the inside, and a cute little wooden button holding the top closed.

Good luck everyone! Don't forget to make it possible for me to contact you when you win!.

Quick Edit! Open to U.S. residents only!

It's Fall, Y'all!

Yes, it's another Giveaway Carnival hosted by Rocks In My Dryer on her Bloggy Giveaway site!

I know exactly what I will be giving away, and it is going to be so much fun! You know all those purses I've been making like it's the last thing I'll ever do? Well, I'm going to give away one of those little beauts! I will look for more fabric options since I have plenty of time. Maybe I'll even do a Fall or Winter theme, since we're into those seasons (or will be). Sound good? Great!

I'll get some more pictures of the rest of the purses I made last night, and the ones I'm going to make in just a little while. I still can't get over how easy these little things are :)

More Purses To Come!

I found some great fabric and buttons today at JoAnn's, and I had a blast matching them up.

I did my best on adjusting the colors of the pictures, but as usual my camera does not do them justice.


First up, is probably the one that will be my favorite. I found a nice tan embroidered linen remnant, and then a black fabric with white/tan flowers. They really look great together. I then found a nice little slivery button with black accents.



Second up is a nice little ticking, also from the remnant section. It is pink, gold, green and cream. I found a bright red floral with little flowers on it that pick up some of the other colors in the ticking, and a cute little fantasy style button of a lady's head.





This one was a little trickier to match. It is a muted rose color, with diamonds and flowers. I didn't notice it at first, but it also has a lot of very light areas that were woven into the fabric. I'm not sure if I like it or not, but we'll see how it turns out. My kids helped me with the inside fabric on this one, and they went for a dark red floral. I also used the little button lady on this one as well.



The last one was another tricky one. I liked the green/brown floral print, but was having trouble finding a good lining. I found a reddish brown floral print that seems to work well with it, along with a nice dark brown wooden button. I think it will look fine once I actually get it together.



I am quite excited to get started. I should be able to finish these all tomorrow. I have to check on my thread supplies, but I think I've got what I need.
