The ruminations of an artist on art & life...art quilts, beading, knitting, drawing, painting, printmaking, bookmaking are all my passions, I love to explore creating....
I have been telling myself for awhile that when I had my 35,000th blog visitor I would have a "GIVE-AWAY"... that number has now been breached, so I am giving away 2 hand knit hats!! Yup---lovingly hand knit by me!
To WIN a hat,
just leave a comment here...with some way to reach you...like your e-mail address....(of course I promise to never send you spam or anything ;-) The comments are open until the Ides of March (March 15th), then I will have a random drawing...and you could win one of the hats pictured here!!!
Good luck and Goddess Bless you all for reading my blog!!! when I started this blog...3 (or was it 4?) years ago I never dreamed that 35,000 people would visit it...thank you dear readers, thank you.

To celebrate my 20,000 blog visitor, on Jan 6th (scroll down to see the post) I sponsored a BIG GIVE-AWAY drawing : 2 lucky winners would receive one of my hand knit hats!
The TWO lucky winners of my unique hand knit hats are :
1 ) Gayle
2 ) Tarri of commentarri.blogspot.com
Congratulations!!! You should get an e-mail shortly from me so you can claim your prize! Thanks to everyone who participated---wish I could give everyone a hat---but I sure don't have enough knit for that...(for example, this lovely purple hat already has a new home....)
I just got a bargain on some lovely soft chocolate colored pure angora yarn, though--so will be knitting some hats with that--I love using soft angora in hats....yum! angora is now such an expensive yarn, though--that I usually end up mixing it in with other wool yarns.
Today's quote---

"One more stitch... One more row... Ah..? It's dawn. "
While I was away over the recent holidaze...I had my 20,000th blog visitor !!! to honor this amazing and momentous milestone, I am sponsoring a give-away ! Yes--I will give away 2 warm hand knit hats ! You will pick which one...I have many hats already knit up--so you will be able to pick from about 6 different colors, sizes, fibers and styles.

CREATIVE EVERY DAY
Such a busy month! I just sailed right on by the second blog anniversary--which was Feb 6th! Yep! 2 years now, and I must say I am gratified to see that my daily "hits" have grown since those first blog posts....
So, to celebrate this blog's 2nd anniversary--I want to have a "give-away"---by now you probably know the drill---leave a comment after this post, and I will put your name into the hat for the drawing to win this hand made (by me) fabric INCHIE Mandala pin (or brooch!) If you don't have a blog--be sure and leave me your e-mail or some way to contact you! or else I won't be able to get the brooch to you if you do win....and do check back here because I will post the winner on March 5th!
This inchie is actually an "inchie plus"--yeah, it looks huge here--but it actually measures 1.5" x 1.5" (thus the term inchie plus)---it is embellished with a lovely vintage button and seed beads, and a pinback sewn onto the back.
I sure hope some of you who are regular readers and comment often enter this drawing!
