May Giveaway Day

Well, we survived Rebecca’s birthday yesterday, although I fell asleep at 7:30pm and slept until almost 7am – not counting waking up every two hours to nurse Penelope of course… But our house is still a disaster and I have looming deadlines for my One Yard Wonders projects so I wasn’t going to do this, but hey, someone else mentioned it, and I still had about 10 minutes to sign up, so sure, why not.

And what will you win? Oh, right. Well, I would say any pattern in my Etsy store, but because of my move, two half finished soft-circuit patterns, and getting distracted by the next One Yard Wonders book there is only one pattern in my Etsy store. Technically there is a Halloween pattern too, but I’m not reposting that until July, what? I should just relist it now and stop being mad at Etsy for not letting you change the number of items for sale before charging you for relisting all of them? Yes, I’m mad at Etsy. Stupid Etsy. Okay, okay.


So your choice of two patterns. Comment on this post, tell me whether your read my blog normally, and whether you like to wear shoes, just so I can tell who is paying attention, and yes, I will email internationally! As mandated by the Sew Mama Sew post the giveaway will be open until through the 20th, and I will ‘ship’ by the 24th.

So comment, (were you paying attention?) and then head back to Sew Mama Sew to check out the rest of the giveaways going on. Should be good times. I’m off to pack lunch for tomorrow, then crash, bed.

    I hate to wear shoes indoors but I’m a shoe addict for when I’m outside. Current obsession are shoes that look good but feel good at the same time. Do they really exist?

    Those cars are adorable!

    I like shoes. Shoes are good. They’re more than good, actually, they’re a must, as I have sensitive skin and am a klutz.

  4. Shannon says:

    I haven’t read your blog before, but I’m going to check it out now.
    I hate shoes. I take them off as soon as I get into the house, and before I had a toddler who I had to set a good example for, I wouldn’t wear them in our yard either. I can’t wait until she’s old enough to understand about natural consequences.

  5. Kristin Beckwith says:

    Well I like to wear shoes because I don’t want to get a hookworm, but I don’t like to wear shoes because I want to be a ninja. This is my first visit to your blog care of the giveaway day but I will be back because I love the little bat.

  6. DebbieKL says:

    Love the little cars! This is my first time to your blog. Thanks for the giveaway!
    Do flip-flops count? Actually my feet are naked at the moment.

  9. Eileen says:

  10. beth says:

    I have the perfect pair of hands in mind for those cars…too cute! I am new to your blog (but loving it so far) and I prefer to be barefoot :o ). Thanks so much! beth.dodd@att.net

  11. GigiElle says:

    I’m not a regular reader, and I wear shoes when out of the house, but not when I am home. I prefer to be barefoot at home.

  12. lesley says:

    i don’t regularly read your blog but i will now! how cool! i don’t really like shoes.

  13. I just found your blog, but am adding you to my feed reader.

    I don’t like wearing shoes in the house, but don’t like going outside without shoes.

    My son would love me to have the cars pattern.

  14. loree says:

    First time at your blog!! I’ll be back :) I wear shoes. I like flip flops in the house though (and I’m in Sunnyvale!)

  15. Deb says:

    Love the Halloween pattern!

    Not a shoe wearer. Though I’m often in slippers in the house because my feet get cold!

  16. Helena says:

    I love being barefoot, I go that way most days at home. But out and about I dress my feet accordingly. Lovely blog

  17. Jennifer S. says:

    I am new to your blog actually and I despise wearing shoes!
    But not as much as I despise wearing socks.

  18. Shelly says:

    I am barefoot currently, lol. As are the kids.. Halloween patterns are awsome, thanks!

  19. Sarah says:

    This is my first time at your blog, so I will have to come back and try your tutorials.
    I really like the car pattern, and hoes…well, I prefer flip flops. I hate wearing socks, so when I do wear shoes, I am often sockless. Around the house I am almost always barefoot, even when it is freezing. If it gets really cold, I will wear slippers. thanks for the giveaway

  20. emily maruna says:

    I don’t read it regularly, but I have visited before. Fun stuff! I do wear shoes. I have quite a collection! And I like the car pattern

  21. Serena says:

    No, I do NOT like wearing shoes! Barefoot or, if necessary, cushy flip-flops! ;)

  22. emma says:

    Just found your blog and liked looking through it. I go barefoot as much as I can and was once prevented from boarding a plane as I was not wearing shoes!

  23. Roxanne Yamashita says:

    This is my first time here. I love your blog! These soft toys are great! I do wear shoes, but I’m from Hawaii so I’d rather go barefoot.
    Thanks for your generous giveaway!

  24. Katherine says:

    Your patterns are very cool — I especially love the Halloween one. Halloween isn’t celebrated very much down here in New Zealand, and as an American expat, I’ve made it my business to go all out since nobody else does! I’m not a regular blog readere (I’ve just discovered you through SMS), and I do like to wear shoes, although not in the house, because my husband grew up in Japan and has trained me to take them off…

  25. Deb D says:

    I love the linkable car pattern!
    I am afraid I only pop in on your blog every now and then – I’m not very good with keeping up with my blog reading. I never wear shoes in the house but I do wear shoes when I’m outside, especially in crowded public places, LOL.

  26. craftytammie says:

    actually, no! I spend most of my day barefoot, and slip on flipflops if I have to go somewhere. It’s a sad day for me when winter comes around, and I have to switch to socks and clogs. I love the soft linkable cars!

  27. maryanne says:

    I hate wearing shoes, I always read your blog, and I’d love the Halloween pattern since I already have your car pattern!

    Speaking of which, I need to sew together those little car pieces that have been sitting in my sewing cabinet for months now…

  28. I just discovered your blog today and I prefer bare feet.

    Thank you for giving!

  29. bonnie says:

    this is my first visit to your site, and NO I do not wear shoes around the house,,,, I love being barefooted… now out and about then yes I wear sandels or flats, no more heels I am so through with them. I had to wear them Saturday for a special church event for our grand son and I couldn’t wait to get out of them and to think when I was young I always had heels on….. please enter me in your lovely giveaway thank you ladycolmn(at)aol(dot)com from Florida Gulf Coast area

  30. Erin says:

    The soft linkable cars are adorable! And I don’t really like wearing shoes. I love sandals, but my feet get cold so I spend the majority of winter in Ugg boots and slippers. I sometimes wish I was a Hobbit so I could go barefoot and my feet would always be warm.

  31. claudia says:

    Mama told me to be honest…so I must say, that i’m here for the first (but surely not last) time.

    Shoes? Yes, I HAVE TO wear shoes at work otherwise my toes will freeze. At home I’m wearing socks, selfknitted of course.

    I like the cars and the tutorial for eggs …

    WOW, what a wonderful idea!
    I’m deeply impressed.

    Kind regards from Germany

  32. Kelly O. says:

    the soft linkable cars pattern is awesome! yes I like to wear shoes–I’m a bit of a shoe hoarder in fact!

  33. JJ says:

    Love that sweet cars pattern! I have never seen your site before today but will have to take a looksie…we don’t wear shoes in the house because we try to keep it clean. Since we’re near the beach we get a LOT of sand in the house. Course that never really works…

  34. Mama Lusco says:

    Fun patterns! This is the first I’ve found your blog and yes – I like to wear shoes :) Thanks for the great giveaway! luscofamily(at)ortelco.net

  35. Brenda says:

    oh yes, the little cars for sure. New grandson joining 2 preschool brothers in a few months :) Haven’t read your blog previously – love this giveaway for a chance to “meet” new blog folks. Yes, generally wear shoes. If I don’t, I don’t work around the house well. I think that was a fly lady idea??
    Thanks!

  36. Lottie says:

    The best thing about this giveaway is finding loads of new blogs! I would choose the halloween pattern. I do not like to wear shoes, but I do have to wear them so just have to get on with it!

  37. Erica says:

    I don’t usually read your blog, just visiting for the giveaway. I usually have shoes or slippers on, although I don’t always like it. We have tile floor which are cold in the winter and cold in the summer when the air is on.

  38. Mariana says:

    I’d love the cars pattern! And I would love to go through life bare foot!
    Greetings from Chile!

  39. Lets see if I am paying attention…no I don’t read your blog normally because this is the first time I have been here, and yes I like to wear shoes, it hurts when you step on stickers!! I like your cars pattern too by the way!

  40. son_shine Rachel says:

    Just started reading your blog :)
    I LOVE LOVE LOVE the soft linkable cars pattern! The little people in my house would love to play with such adorable little cars.
    I like to wear shoes…. but only comfy ones. I also love to be barefoot and absolutely must have comfy warm socks in the winter.

  41. Shirley says:

    I haven’t been to your blog before. I don’t wear shoes inside my home, and nor do most people in Finland. Well at least the people I know.

  42. Lisabee says:

    I don’t normally read your blog; I just found it via the giveaway.

    I wear shoes outside, but not inside the house. I do mostly wear socks inside, but that’s because it’s been chilly all winter and I want warm toesies!

  43. Amy Kane says:

    I prefer flip flops or slippers. Or barefoot, if pregnant or in the sand. Ha! :) Your patterns are cute. I can’t wait to see your other ones!

  44. Leah says:

    the cars. barefoot of course unless there is gravel then flip flops

  45. jenn says:

  48. Amanda says:

    I just found your blog from sew mama sew and I prefer just wearing slippers, not shoes. I especially like flip flop slippers!

    I’ve never read your blog before. I wear shoes when it is cold or rainy, but I prefer to be barefoot indoors all the time and outdoors during the summer.
