Love is - Part One: A Free Giveaway to Enter


Valentine's Day is of course all about romance.  But loving doesn't have to stop when you flip the calendar to February 15th.  And to help spread the love I'm offering a "Lovely Mouse" kit as a giveaway prize.  I don't usually offer kits, but I'm thrilled to announce that I've got together with Annie the Felt Fairy to offer a selection of Bustle & Sew softie kits.  

As our first offering, Annie has put together a really nice kit for the "Lovely Mice" containing all those fiddly bits that you never seem to have to hand when you're setting out to make a softie.  So there's wire for the flower stalk, strong thread for their whiskers and even string for their cute little tails. Each kit contains the ingredients for one mouse.  It's never been easier to show someone you love them!

I've listed the Lovely Mice Kits for sale in my Etsy Shop, but blog readers can have the chance to win one for free simply by leaving a comment below.  The draw will close at 12 midnight GMT on Friday 17 February after which the winner will be chosen by random selection.  And, just for fun (my favourite bit!) please tell us your favourite colour  (you can get some ideas from Annie's colour chart page).  Good luck everyone!

    ReplyDelete
  86. What fun it would be to make these with my niece, whose birthday is tomorrow. I do just love micies; door, country, city, kitchen, Christmas, field, three blind.... I am even reminded of a poem my bratty little brother recited tauntingly. " I love them little mousies, mousies that I love to eat, bite they little tails off, nibble on they tiny feet" What can you do? I never could catch the wirey little critter. (dqdenyse@yahoo.com)

  87. I'm a blue/green person - so difficult but I'd go for lagoon. This kit is gorgeous & reminds me of a favourite children's TV programme from when I was a child. Thanks for a lovely giveaway.

  91. what a cute giveaway
    i liked all your colors

    ReplyDelete
  92. I just LOVE your cute mice. I have a "thing" about sweet little mice that have that "cutsie" look. As far as favorite color goes, that's a really hard question. I can't limit it to just one, with all the beautiful colors in the world. I like happy colors. I NEED happy colors. I tend to stay away from the dark and drab. But with Spring upon us, I'd say right now it's the light pinks, purples, blues, and yellows that I feel more affinity with at the moment.

  93. I love the traflagar blue. These will make a perfect present for my gma in law. She just loves mice.
