***THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED - see who won HERE!***
I'm hoping to spend the rest of the day turning this embroidery (by Imagine Gnats) into a sewing bag, courtesy of this great tutorial
I couldn't wait to show you because I think the girl is pretty kick ass but the bag is on pause while I join the giveaway madness and offer you a chance to win!
Unfortunately I haven't had the time to make anything (try not to feel too disappointed!), so instead I'm giving away some yummy fabric
These are 3 fat quarters (actually they are slightly larger!) of Hex Box from Prince Charming by Tula Pink for Westminster/Free Spirit; Empire Weave from Heirloom by Joel Dewberry for Westminster/Free Spirit; and Daylight Urchin Forest from Marine by Dan Stiles for Birch Organic Fabrics.
I'm also including a few small(ish) scraps, yes there's some bits of Flea Market Fancy by Denyse Schmidt in there, as well as other lovelies.
** All you have to do to win is leave me one comment telling me what is making you smile today!**
** If you are a follower please leave me a second comment telling me so for another chance to win**
PLEASE MAKE SURE I CAN CONTACT YOU in case you WIN!!
The giveaway is open internationally and will close on Friday 25th May at 11pm (UK time) the winner will be chosen by Mr random generator (not sure why it's not Mrs?!) on Saturday 26th May.
***THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED - see who won HERE!***
edited to add: I wasn't quite expecting such a great response! It's wonderful but unfortunately means I just can't keep up and have to give in trying to reply to everyone that comments. So sorry!

What is making me smile today is that it is a day off! So we're all home today, and while it's pouring rain we'll still try to make the best of it!

My sister called me today to say she stopped by the fabric store and made a new friend who works there. We're holding a fundraiser for a lady at work that lost everything in a fire and after chatting, she is donating a basket for the raffle! It made me smile because there are really wonderful, caring people who go out of their way to help someone they don't even know.
Thanks for the chance.

Sadly, the only thing making me smile today is that it's Giveaway Day. I have to take my very old, sick dog to the vet this afternoon and I'm dreading bad news. Also, it's rainy and dreary so no outside play for the kiddos. :(
Giveaway day is helping to distract me though! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
