Winner!

This is a picture of the goodies I’m sending off to my lovely winner, Kathy.

There is a little of everything in here: several laces, some beads, thread, a huge bunch of ribbon, most of a yard of patriotic fabric, and scraps of some orange fabrics!

Take Two

Okay so something super weird is going on with either my blog or my link over at SMS. Repost!

Hello (again). I’m going to cut right to the chase: I’m giving away one box of SURPRISE CRAFT SUPPLIES. I will be moving soon so I am clearing out everything I don’t plan to use in the near future. Expect to find fabric scraps, notions of all kinds, ribbons and lace, maybe even some acrylic paint.

This photo shows a small selection of the items I have pulled out.

To enter all you need to do is leave a comment. Any comment.

Giveaway Day Is Coming

SMSGD is coming on May 6….

What should I give away?

Omelet

I’d love to share a photo of the deeeeeelicious omelet I made for dinner.

But I ate it.

Look what I’m working on again

Google Reader

Well… that sucks.

Anybody have any feed reader suggestions? I need one that can do all rss feeds, not just blogs. I would REALLY prefer one that also has an Android app.

Muffins

Do you cut them into two sides, top and bottom, or just dig into it whole?

Explanation of why I haven’t been posting

Skyrim

Po-tay-toes

Boil ‘em, mash ‘em, stick ‘em in a stew… I’m so hobbity it hurts.

Web Roundup #17

Yeah, I’m going to stop even attempting to pretend that I’ll be able to do this weekly. Not sure how I ever found the time. I’m nowhere near caught up on Reader, but I’ve been keeping at it. I’m down by about 70 subscriptions from last time, at 501.
These appear in reverse order from the date I starred them (most recent star first), so they may be clumpy or in weird chronological order. No ranking of quality is intended (everything here is awesome!).
Now let’s get to the goodies! Normally I include recipes and news articles and the like, but I’ve been working on my backlog of crafty blogs and there’s so many good things that that’s all I included.
