SMS Giveaway May 2014

Friday, May 16, 2014

I am so excited to finally get to enjoy Sew Mama Sew’s giveaway day (which is now a week!). I haven’t been able to peruse the exotic markets since grad school! I did not have enough time to whip something up to give away like last time (note: those images are broken due to site reconstruction; check back later), but I certainly intend to during the next giveaway. Probably one of my bookcovers. Anyways, I have entered a lot of giveaways, so here’s hoping!

I've been watching Jonathon Strange and Mr. Norrell and just have to point out that in episode 3, there is a lovely stumpwork tapestry piece. It isn't often that embroidery makes its way into a storyline more than a background activity! I paused the show and...
