Although I'd like to be greedy and not tell you, so as to increase my chances of winning (*grin*), I've been asked to spread the word, so I will. Click here for a chance to win a skein of Sanguine Gryphon Bugga! sock yarn!

Whoopsie!

Oh no! My adorable dalmatian suffered a shipping accident:

However, a dab of glue, and a bit of yarn to hold the ear while the glue dries, and I'm sure he'll be back to normal soon:

Good thing I know crafty first aid. :)

Yippee!!!

I won a contest over at Vintage By Crystal! *happydance* (Her vintage spun cotton creations are adorable! Check out her etsy shop!)

Awesomeness!!!

My cousin won the jury prize for her video!!! She's got a fantastic happy dance too! (Bottom row, second column.)

Please Vote For My Cousin

My cousin has entered a video contest. Would you mind watching her video, and if you like it, vote for it? Click Here. Hers is the first one in the third row... "Life Stories" by Caroline Barrientos. Thanks!

PS: You will need to create an account, but it's for Canada's public radio station, so it's nothing spammy-virusy-nasty.

PPS: If you do vote, come back and leave a comment here. If there's at least ten of you, I'll have a little contest and send the winner something. :) (Probably after it has marinated in my "to mail" pile for a while... but you're free to pester me until you do get your prize.)

If you don't live in Canada, you can enter a contest over at Heather's blog to win a pair of the nifty Olympics mittens!

Sharing the love: if you like fabric crafts, game birds and the colour blue, go check out a contest here. This ends your public service announcement.

Yay!!!

I won the monthly contest at The Old House Revival Co. blog! It was pure serendipity too... I hadn't a clue what the "guess what it is" item was. Then, the other day I was visiting Lil Fish Studio's blog after seeing some adorable felted wool mushrooms in her Flickr photo stream. I was wondering if they were in her Etsy shop, but in her profile, she only links to her blog, not her Etsy shop. I knew she had a link to her Etsy shop on her blog, so I went there. It turns out her shop was closed at the time, but she had an Etsy badge for her favourite Etsy shops... so I wandered around there. (It was a Sunday morning, and I was feeling clicky.) One of her favourites was in Prairie Antiques shop... which also happened to have the mystery item! At first I was a bit annoyed at stumbling across the item *after* the contest was over... until I remembered it was *still* January (at that point), and so I still had time to enter! Isn't that crazy luck? Stumbling across the mystery item on the *last* day of the contest?

At any rate, I'm really excited to go shopping! :) (I won a $50 gift certificate.)

Redirect

Run, don't walk, over to Sara's blog, where she's having a dishcloth give-away. (I can confirm that her dishcloths are awesome, make my dish washing happier, and produce wonderfully clean dishes!)

Sara loves comments and visits on her blog statistics, so please become a reader... or, at least, go back and leave her lots of comments on her old posts. ;) Plus, she's just a very friendly and awesome blog-friend. :)

Go win some sock blockers! Here's the roolz.

The Heat Is On

Literally. The radiators started gurgling earlier tonight, and they felt warm when I touched them. Hopefully this'll help with my knee. (Stoopid arthritis!)

Speaking of the seasons changing, Sara is having a give-away of crocheted snowflakes to the first 15 people who sign up. :) She loves having blog hits and comments, so go say hi! (And recently she's been having contests for yarn! I won two skeins of sock yarn!!!)

Finally, to those locals who may have been wondering, I will be hosting a Christmas swap again this year. I'll post to Ravelry... hopefully soon. (But not tonight, I need sleep. The only reason I made it to this late is because of the naps I've been having all day.)

Yay!!!

It's a slow day in the help centre, so I was checking the blogs I read... and discovered that I won a contest!!! Yay! Thanks Sara! :))

What a lovely pick-me-up on a day when I haven't had enough sleep, and keeps being "hurry up and wait". Mmmmmmm!

PS: She has another contest going on, where every comment earns you an entry! So go comment and enter!

Yarn Prize!

Yarn Prize!

Yay! This is the awesome prize I won at Ram Wools' "count the sheep" contest at their grand re-opening. There's eight balls of Mission Falls Cotton yarn, a pattern booklet (the yarn makes one of the patterns in the booklet), and a lovely basket. I love it! I've wanted to try Mission Falls Cotton for ages. :)

Enter to win some awesome KaratStix goodies! (I found the contest on Penny's blog, and she has links to two more contests.)

June contest: leave a comment to say what you're knitting.

Win a sock blocker keychain here, but hurry, because the deadline is tomorrow.

Both contests were found via Penny's blog (which gets updated with these things far more often than mine does, these days).
