It's Giveaway Day!

8:03 PM , 96 Comments

May is my birthday month so I'm having a few giveaways to celebrate!

Today's giveaway is being hosted by Sew, Mama, Sew!

If you're here for the first time, you probably want to know a little about me and my blog.
I'm a busy mother of three girls, living 'downunder' in New Zealand.  I design knitting patterns for children's clothing, constructed seamlessly from the top down (my patterns can be found here).  I also love to sew, mostly clothes for my girls, and currently teach basic sewing skills to a group of 10-12year olds once a week at the small school my girls attend.  This blog is a way for me to showcase all the crafting and creating I get up to.

But what you really want to know is:  What is my prize for Giveaway Day?

Last year I made myself a knitting work-in-progress (wip) bag that is used constantly.

My wip knitting bag

I loved the pattern from the first time I saw it on the U-Handbag blog and since making this one I've wanted to make another one just for the fun of it. I decided that it would be a perfect bag to have as the prize for my giveaway!

I thought it might be a bit too big and bulky to post so I shrunk the pattern to approx 3/4 size and left out the fleece padding to make a cute compact handbag.


The bag measures approx 24cm wide x 20cm high (approx 9.5" x 8") and the handles are about 18cm (approx 8").


I've put in a handy little internal pocket (approx 7cm/3" x 12cm/5") and the bag closes with a single metal snap.  I can't remember the name of the fabrics used as it was a stash-busting project, but the main fabric is light pink with swirls and the lining is a lavender mini floral.


The bag is fully interfaced, including the handles, which is a bit stiff when new, but softens up nicely with use.


Now, how do you enter?

It's really easy.  All you have to do is leave a comment below telling me what it is that keeps you interested in a blog and makes you want to comment on a post?


I will draw the winner on Friday evening (27 May) so you have until then to enter.  Only one comment/entry per person and there are no extra entries for facebooking, twittering, etc but you are welcome to anyway!
This giveaway is open to anyone, anywhere that I can post to.
PLEASE include a way for me to contact you in your comment or your entry will not be valid.


PS.  I will be celebrating my 100th post very soon with another giveaway, so make sure you become a follower so you don't miss out on hearing about it!  Also, scroll down (or click here) for a chance to win a hand-knitted shawl in my Birthday Giveaway!

    I love a blog where I feel I can get to know the blogger. They don't need to share all their life or anything but more tips about what tools they use, what in their life inspired them to make something and their favourite recipes. I love cooking and its so fun to make things that bloggers make, I adore chevgirl's focaccia for example.

    I love the variety that you show on your blog, between knitting and all the other crafts that you do. It helps keep me interested. :) I have what do you call...crafting ADHD (where I have a lot of projects going on)

    That's a sweet little bag in my favorite color - Thanks for the chance :D

    I normally love tutorials with step by step photos and when people show their creations and that's when I mostly comment on them.

    at the moment, I'm loving blogs that I can relate to (about families and little people) and things that inspire me to get creative. Templates are always handy and of course I LOVE giveaways.

    Thanks for your generosity.

    I love blogs that update regularly and that inspire me to try new projects, new food, or new ways of doing things. I also like a blog that is friendly - those make me send comments back. The bag you are giving away is lovely! Thanks for sharing your giveaway!

    P.S. I love the color scheme on your blog!

    Hi Amber - First the bag is really cute. As for blogs - I like pictures, seeing what other people do and make. Very inspiring. I like sewing/crafting/quilting blogs - I have a 75% rule - I prefer when at least 3/4 of the posting have to do with non-topic stuff.

  15. CatherineMay 23, 2011 at 1:48 PM

    Really cute bag! I guess what makes me revisit a blog time and time again is if it covers topics I am interested in, but in a way that expands my thinking about something I already do, so I can learn from them. Too far out there from my own interests or skills and while I may love it, I often don't return because I don't relate. When I learn from or am inspired by a blog, I want to visit as often as possible! As to posting, well I admit I rarely do but some days I just get chatty LOL. I like to post when someone offers a free cutting file (for my die cutter), recipe, pattern, etc. to let them know their time was well spent and appreciated.

    What keeps me interested in a blog is brightly lit photos and a neutral background (so the photos stand out most). A sense of humour in the writing always makes my day :)

  21. K.PapageorgeMay 23, 2011 at 6:06 PM

    I love a blog where the writer has similar interests to me. As you have a few kids and love to sew, that's 2 things we have in common right off the bat! I spend so much time just with my kids that it is nice to interact with other adults, even if it is only reading or writing on a blog.

    Lovely bag, and one any of us commenters would love to win.

    I love reading blogs (1) where tutorials are provided (especially if they have one of those "print" buttons so I don't have to copy/paste into a Word document to print it); (2) humor is incorporated; (3) "oopsies" and "screw-ups" are shown; (4) the creative process is shown, i.e., I'm a new quilter and I'm still struggling with fabric selection. I like to see "why" some fabrics are selected and others are not. For instance, I'm sure everybody out in blogland doesn't automatically pick the fabrics they use in their quilts right off the bat (or at least I hope they don't). So I'd like to see why some fabrics are used in the quilt and others are eliminated.

    I like crafty blogs that are updated regularly at least once a week, lots of photos for inspiration, and those that like to try new things and share or mention where the pattern/material comes from so we can try it out too, also tutorials of course. I only comment if I have questions or really when I feel the need!! :o)

    I think something new ... if I see things that I have seen already several times, it just does not grab me. "new" can be anything really - new color combo - pattern mix ... just some new or unusal idea. Also great photos are nice! I think I tend to get drawn to nice big images ...

    Thanks for the fun giveaway! You are welcome to enter mine, too. You could win some custom-made buttons!

    that is a very pretty bag. bags are so useful don't you think. I too have three daughters only mine are all married and I now have six grandchildren. I quilt mostly but I am just learning to sew clothing. I struggle with pattern language but I have discovered blogs and tutorials. I love to learn visually. The blogs I like most have tutorials and some even have video tutorials.

    I enjoy blogs that have a sense of humor without overdoing it. I comment on most blogs that I read to simply let them know I was there and kind of a thank-you for their efforts. Comments after all is what keeps blogging fun and I don't want my favorites to get discouraged and quit because of a lack of them.

    Lovely giveaway. I would be thrilled to win.

    I like to see all the amazingly creative things other crafty people have come up with- just browsing I guess you would call it. Tutorials are great when I have decided to try something new and need a bit of help.

    Such an adorable purse! What keeps me coming back to a blog is good writing, good pictures and preferably tutorials or free patterns (unemployed for too long over here...). And all of this presented in a homey, unpretentious way. There are some blogs I follow that set my teeth on edge with their endlessly perfect lives displayed for the world. Life is messy - show that sometimes!

    Very cute bag. I like to see pictures of projects and hear about what they are working on. Tutorials are always a nice draw too. Thanks for participating in SMS Giveaway day!

    I like tutorials and inspiring pictures. I must admit, if there's too much text, I usually skip it (not counting tutorials, of course), simply because I should not be spending too much time on the computer--and I find it difficult to read on a screen. Thank you for the lovely giveaway!

    Hello from Canada! What a beautiful bag! As for blogs, for me they just have to be relevant, funny, interesting and consistant. I comment if I love it or relate to it. :) Thanks so much for this opportunity! Take care!

    I'm very visual, so I return time and again to blogs with lots of pictures :)

    And commenting - gosh, I don't know, generally if the writer asks a specific question I'll comment... but not always. I'm not help at all!

    That's a lovely bag, and those are good questions.

    What keeps me interested in a blog could be ... tutorials for items I'd like to make, handmade projects that pique my interest and are something I might like to make myself, and crafty tips or how-tos :) What gets me to comment is a giveaway post (LOL), or a post that I can relate to - a tutorial I like, or a crafted project that I admire and might make, or even a pet or kid story that mirrors my own bratty kids/cat :D

    Step by step tutorials with pics, and perhaps commenting where things went wrong when you were making your creation, that helps a lot! Although I am not a big fan of hearing every piece of a blogger's life, it's nice to hear about little things here and there. I comment when something featured is novel or if I have questions.
