The Craftys

Hey everyone! There's a new award in town, The Craftys! Feel free to visit the site, submit your own blog or project, and maybe even win an award! I am up for Best Craft Blogger, so if you are so inclined, hop on over there and vote for me (or any of your favorite blogs or projects). I also have an individual project up-- Hotdogtopus the hot dog octopus in edible crafts!

You can get entered into drawings for some pretty great prize packs just by voting on your favorites, so be sure to check it out and spread the word!

Also, I have hit over 1000 facebook followers this week, so I will be working on a fun new pattern to share with you all next week (hopefully) to say thank you for being so awesome! It was over 90 degrees here yesterday, so I decided to unplug almost everything in the house (sewing machine included) in a vain attempt at making it cooler.

Red Tricycle Totally Awesome Awards

Hey everybody! I have been nominated (and am a Finalist!) in Red Tricycle's Totally Awesome Awards! How cool, er awesome, is that!? It is broken up by locale, so to go vote for me you would have to click on the "Portland" voting page.

So if you think I'm totally awesome, feel free to go vote. Everyone who does get's entered to win a $500 gift card from Giggle.com (a great prize if you have kids or know someone who does).

Rain theme contest on Spoonflower.com

I love fabrics of all kinds, but I especially love one of a kind fabrics! Cue Spoonflower.com and the magic they help everyday people like you and me create! For those of you unfamiliar with spoonflower, it is a website where you can upload your own designs and create your own fabric. You can even upload photographs and turn them into fabrics for your own special projects. For one of a kind designs, the prices are also very reasonable, and you can order as much or as little as you like!

This week on Spoonflower.com, the contest theme is rain, and I just so happen to have a design in the contest. If you like it as much as I do, go and vote now! You can vote for as many patterns as you like, and don't need to be a member to vote. There are some very cute designs I am up against too. To vote in this week's contest just go here.
