| GIVEAWAY, DAY 2 ... STITCHERIES »
I am very pleased to be able to do two new things today, first I am excited to participate in my first "Sew Mama Sew" giveaway, there are oodles of other stitching enthusiasts involved in this massive giveaway, I hope you enjoy your quick stay here at Wildcraft Farm, if you are a first time visitor, come back again for another look, when life is not too hectic!
My other "first" is the chance to show off my new design from "The Kit In A Card Collection", I've called it HOOTIE THE OWL .... not very original, I'm sure, but I keep being told it's just toooooo cute, so here at Wildcraft Farm it's "stable" name is Cutie Hootie!
For those new to Kit In A CardsTM, I invented them 10 years ago, they are a greeting card with a little stitching kit inside to make the item on the front (plus all instructions, envelopes etc.), they have always been very popular, but I took a year break and rejigged the design, layout and kit format - everyone still loves them as a unique gift to give or make and give with the card.
Owls have been in my life for some 27 years, not because of me, but because my husband's Mother is a collector. Whenever we get stuck for a birthday, Christmas or Mother's Day gift, we know we can always rely on an Owl to come through. It has meant some interesting and unique finds over the years ... and now with the more recent love of all things Owls, there are more "crafty" versions to choose from. Lately I have found 2 friends who are a bit mad for all that is Owly, one is a 13 year old boy!
Inside the Kit In A CardTM, is a screenprint of the finished owl, DMC thread, needle, an extra pattern, details etc to finish as you like, or as the crayon/pencil storage roll. You can go to town with your favourite pencils or with crayons, all the details you need are in the instructions.
The new look Kit In A CardsTM also come with a bonus project. So all the details for this easy to make gorgeous roll are also included.
So this Monday 23 May I am giving 2 of these Kit In A CardsTM away. I'm happy to send anywhere in the world, and promise they will be posted to the 2 lucky winners before the end of this month.
To enter all you need to do is write in a comment below, start with the word HOOTIE (because if you come back on Tuesday and Wednesday, I'm having 2 more giveaways), and then tell me a little about what you like to collect, or someone in your family.
This Hootie giveaway is open until Wednesday 6pm Eastern (Australia), when my darling Jessica and I will hunt through all the entries and post the winners that night.
If you think you might like to purchase a Hootie The Owl some time in the future, either contact the businesses on the right side of this post, or ask your favourite quilt store to contact us on your behalf.
Enjoy the fun ... hope to see you back again tomorrow for another unique Wildcraft Farm item!

(PS, I should probably confess what my favourite thing to collect is .... I have a terrible box fetish, unusual boxes, old boxes, basically any box .... I also love old sewing items, like old spools, old machines, dressmakers tools .... those 2 collections come to mind immediately!).
(PPS, by the way, everyone things are vast display of old meat grinders in our kitchen is my collection ... NOT! It's my husbands, and he doesn't have 2 the same, but boy do they collect dust).
The comments to this entry are closed.
Hootie would be great with the rest of the owls around here :)
I like to hold on to bits of fabric, but I'm having to use them up now before I can justify buying more!
