My 300th Post!

Yahoo! I made it to my 300th post...and just in time for the Sew, Mama, Sew May Giveaway Day! I think this calls for some sort of celebration. Hmm...I've been so busy knitting the shawl, that I wasn't able to make something in time for the big day. But, I want to commemorate the event. So let's do a giveaway...a surprise giveaway (it'll be surprise for all of us!). Maybe it will be craft supplies, a book, something I make, a gift card, or who knows...the options are endless! Just know that it will be crafty related, it'll be fun, and it'll make you smile. With that said, let's get this party started. See below on how to play:

(Those are actually soaps! Find more like them by searching on Etsy...these sold after I posted them on my blog. ETA: To clear up some confustion, I didn't make these, although I wish I had since so many people love them!)

  1. Leave a comment (and your email address) with a creative idea for what I could include in the giveaway. Deadline has been extended to end of day May 31. (1 entry)
  2. Blog about this contest and leave me a link with where to find the entry. (2 entries)
  3. Twitter about my contest and leave me a link. (2 entries)
  4. Show me a craft you've made in the past month that makes you happy by leaving me a link to a picture on your blog or Flickr page. (5 entries)
Winners will be picked at random, and I'll post the winners on Monday. Good luck!

  2. I think something sewn (like a quilty funky project bag) would be the bees' knees. :) Here's a scarf I just finished for a retiring coworker. I give it to her tomorrow at her send-off dinner. I hope she likes it as much as I do!

  3. I love to win things! Anything, really. Being a quilter and a knitter, fabric or yarn would be lovely.

    I'm running a similar contest on my blog, and I told them there about yours: http://tryingmydarnedest.blogspot.com/2009/05/ruffled-feathers-my-300th-post.html

    I haven't yet posted the first prototype for the "perfect" knitting bag, but you can see some of my recent bag projects on my blog: http://tryingmydarnedest.blogspot.com/2009/05/some-of-my-bags.html

  4. Is this open to family? In my competitive nature, I am in!

    First of, congratulations Carrie! I read all of your posts. It's good to write about something your passionate about. Just reading your blog makes me update my own.

    On that note, here is a link back to my blog for you 300! It is on Facebook too!
    http://razorsride.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-sister-is-hitting-300.html

    For prizes, I am thinking you sew a pillow with the cover of the movie 300! If not the movie, then go with a bowling theme with the perfect score 300.

    That's about as creative as I get. You got that gene.

    Congrats!

  5. congrats on 300 posts! i am way behind you! bad blogger here!

    anyway, here is a sock that made me happy! loved the beads, cables, lace, yarn, and the color.

    http://bellybuttonknits.blogspot.com/2009/05/d-is-for.html

    i will blog about your contest as soon as i leave this comment.

    http://bellybuttonknits.blogspot.com/2009/05/e-is-for.html

    and as far as prizes, i definitely think it should be some gorgeous sock yarn or lace yarn! yep, that's what i think.

  6. Congratulations on #300. If most people are like me, they won't care what crafty item you include. Even if it's "old" to you, it's new to someone else :).

    I have a couple of items I've made in the last month. One is my first felted bag (http://nulandnews.blogspot.com/2009/05/bags-o-plenty.html); ignore the fun fur bag - that one almost makes me un-happy.
    Even more is the thread "purse" and tiny bear (http://nulandnews.blogspot.com/2009/04/mint-delight.html), but I wasn't sure if that counted because it's just on the edge of being over one month old.

    ReplyDelete
  7. First of all, congratulations on your 300th post! :)

    It's always nice to read about something someone is passionate about.

    As for something I've made in the past month that I'm happy about; I'd have to say publishing my very first pattern, free but still :) It's for a cell phone cozy and the link is http://gambitsview.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-very-first-design.html

    And for prize suggestions... bright colorful yarn, bamboo circular needles or crochet hooks, one of those cute yarn cutting gizmos that you can hang around your neck, sheep and angora goat toys :)

  8. Congrats on the 300th post!

    It's not creative, but sock yarn is always a nice prize!

  9. Congrats!
    As for the prize...I'd love one of those yummy cupcake soaps. Although I'd probably have very dirty hands b/c they're too sweet to use :)

  11. 300?!? Seems like at least 600. (Kidding, Ca-wie!!!)

    Still find your blog strangely compelling.

    Anyways, I'd like a homemade, knitted beer koozie that says "Don't ruffle my feathers, dude!"

  16. A surprise, WooHoo! You could include some fun fur, I'm really lovin' adding fun fur to my projects! Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Here's a link to where I blogged and included a picture (near the bottom of the post) of the last wallhanging I made. It's hard to tell from the picture but It has fun fur sewn on. I am so pleased with how it turned out (picture really doesn't do it justice) and loved using the beads, buttons, and fun fur on it!

  19. My daughter and I love cupcake soap! She likes to pretend to serve it to people and then giggle hysterically :) (The link under the pic isn't working for me!)

  20. I always like to toss a rainbow of buttons into a swap or giveaway box! They're so useful!
    And here's somethign I recently made:

    ReplyDelete
  24. A surprise...fun! There has been a lot of fabric...so how about something pretty for a home?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ok.. what to give away - anything!! but with all the crafty people I'd say yarn, project bag or fabric would be my top 3 choices.

    And one of my favoite things I've made lately is a Chicken gift for my neice - Dotty the Chicken!! Here's a link to my ravelry page, although I still need to put some finished pictures up:
    http://tryingmydarnedest.blogspot.com/2009/05/ruffled-feathers-my-300th-post.html
    The other is a beautiful hat i made to match a pair of gloves: Here's a picture of both from my blog:

  26. I would love to just be surprised. It would be so cool to get a box and not know what's in it.

    Thanks for the giveaway.

  30. Congrats on 300!!!

    You are a creative girl I'm sure a surprise from you would be fabulous! But lately I'm really excited about bright, bold fabric. And I'm always into knitting.

    In fact, check out this picture of one of my latest projects that absolutely makes me smile: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lovemesomeyarn/3554656804/. I hope that's good enough for some extra entries. :) Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Happy blogiversary. 300 posts, that's quite an achievement. A surprise giveaway sounds really exciting, I love surprises!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I'd really like to get some awesome trim if I win your giveaway! And pictures of a craft will *definitely* be forthcoming.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Congratulations on 300 posts! As for a creative idea, I'm not sure. Yarn? Buttons?

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think that you should include one of your favorite craft items. If you like to use buttons a lot.. then add buttons. Or lace? Add lace. :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. This is my favorite project I just made for my daughter. It is little, but it turned out cute, and I don't have much time, so...

  36. I've had a great time making bags lately. Here are a couple that I made with some fun polka dot fabric:

    And my vote for the giveaway would be fabric. I am trying to build up my stash so that I can have more fun!

  37. Congratulations on your 300th post. I'm not a blogger, but love to read them. Have learned so much. I am getting obsessed with quilting, so fabric would be nice.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Well, fabric is always a plus in any giveaway. But anything you would make would be just fabulous too! :D

    Here is what I've made that makes me happy..

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/22872718@N03/3532838126/

    I'm in a Row Robin swap, and I made this row for someone else. It's the first time I've followed a block pattern, and I love how it came out :)

    ReplyDelete
  40. i think anything that you've crafted, really, would be fun - those soaps you posted are adorable! *grin*

    here's my gallery on my website of all my handquilted quilts; the topmost one I finished a few months ago, although in quilt-time, I think it's close enough to "this month". *grin*
    Lately I've been playing a lot with Annelies van den Bergh's International Signatuure Swap (totally awesome), the link to which is here:

  43. Happy blogiversary!

    My vote is for a box full of crafty goodness. Fabrics, notions, buttons, ribbon...etc. OR, you could give away CUPCAKE SOAPS! Half the fun is in the surprise, thanks for doing a mystery giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  44. happy blogiversary!! you are so much better than me, i've been blogging for over year and only posted 30 posts :(. i would recommend giving away some fabric, because i know you have too much? don't we all!

    ReplyDelete
  45. silhouettes are somewhat in style right now.
    You should giveaway the items to make a proper silhouette in black and white.
    Needle point, portrait style with paper, possibilities are endless....

  51. Hmmmm... handmade is always fabulous especially if it is a collaborative effort - you know the recipient gives you a colourway or some idea that hopefully will spark the creative process....

    It isn't a concrete idea but maybe a little helpful?

  53. Hi all!
    What a fantastic idea! I love surprises.
    Maybe one of those yummy muffins. I thought they're real and not soaps. They're really well made.
    Please feel free to have a look to my flickr, and you'll see what i'm making now.
    Thansk for this great giveaway!

  54. I would love anything handmade. I am off to blog about this contest! Congrats on the milestone!

  55. What about a cupcake pin cushion? It would be great.
    Thanks a lot and happy 300th post!!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Congrat for 300 posting! Please include some fabrics, nothing creative, but I'm sure everyone will love it. Oh... and maybe your lovely cupcake soap, they look so sweet and yummy. I'll keep it away from my girl if I get it, or it might ended up in her tummy.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Those are such cute soaps! Would be perfect for a guest bathroom :)

    ReplyDelete
  61. Those are the cutest soaps I've ever seen! why not use those as the prize. I know I'd be happy to be a winner

    ReplyDelete
  62. Anything handmade is a great giveaway in my book!

    I've made this butt-ugly shrug for my mom (she picked the colors). The yarn was a nightmare, the colors gave me nightmares but the pattern was sublime!

  63. Wow, 300 posts! That's quite an accomplishment, congratulations!

    I kind of like the idea of a random grab baggie for a giveaway, with things like handmade cards, soap, something edible, some yarn...or, you know, combinations thereof.

    I'm generally a knitter, but lately I've done much more sewing. I finished a stash of cloth diapers for my daughter, and am very proud of them! They're so sunny! You can see them here.

  64. Shoot -- forgot to leave my email. onsilent_wings at yahoo dot com, or blakdove on ravelry.

  65. Those soaps look so real. I wonder if you could make some that are craft-related for the giveaway? Pincushions, scissors, thimbles or something similar?

    Bag

  75. Happy Blogoversary! Thanks for the great giveaway! I think anything that involves cover buttons would great for a giveaway (I'm a sucker for cover buttons!). Here's a link to a recent blog post that I did that shows the two owls I've made in the last few months. They're not complicated but they just make me happy: http://miss-print.blogspot.com/2009/05/sometimes-when-one-person-is-missing.html

  80. Happy 300th post! That's a big milestone!

    I love fabric and random notions. Lots of great scraps (not too small) are also fun because it gives me a wide variety of fabric to see and prompts me to think of fun small projects to use them on.

    Thanks for joining the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  81. Well I love craft books, but I also love crafting things, like a pattern and the supplies for it would be a neat give away. Craftaway! or something!

  91. Maybe you could include some left-over fabric cause you seem to use a lot of fab fabrics in your projects!
    You can contact me via a comment on my blog or the email provided there.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Congratulations and happy blogiversary!
    Anything handmade would be good, too bad it can't be the cupcake soaps - those are awesome. I would definitely go with handmade and useful, maybe some organizational?

    ReplyDelete
  93. Anything sewing related would be good. Something you made,or supplies like fabrics, lace, or trims or any thing craft related.

    I can't wait until next time an event like this is organized so i can participate too. i didn't find out until just after the deadline.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Well, if you're really motivated, you could make another one of those cute knitted girl dresses you did. Otherwise, since you have an awesome taste in yarn, a skein or two would be good. Or, for the easy (but always loved) route, some Amy Butler fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  95. OK, I love crafty supplies and crafty books, so either would be a great giveaway. And it's always nice to see handmade goodies, too.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Everyone loves new, free fabric! Any fat quarters or goodies would be wonderful :) But of course, I wouldn't turn away anything handmade!

    ReplyDelete
  97. Anything that is a giveaway is cool in my opinion. Your picture of soap just made me want to eat....how weird is that? thanks for the giveaway.

  105. I have to say something I have made recently that makes me happy is my very first handmade purse. I used the Amy Butler Birdie Sling Pattern, sized it down a little bit, and voila! You can see pictures of it on my blog, www.liztrauring.blogspot.com. It took me a long time to make but I'm proud of myself.

  109. Fabric is always a great prize, as its possibilities are endless. Or, for something already-made, perhaps a bag. One can't have too many totes.
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  120. Wow! What a great giveaway! Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  121. I totally thought those cupcakes were real. I got a hankering for something sweet now! But they are super cute soaps!
    I saw that you didn't make these, but do you make soaps? I really haven't seen anything like that in giveaways, and homemade soap is always a special treat.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Something I recently made that made me happy: http://nnnnessa.blogspot.com/2009/05/gerard-giraffe.html

    I made it for my sister. My family was so impressed with his construction...it was a great reassurance on my crochet techniques.

    Have a great weeeknd!

  123. A great idea for the giveaway would be something that is native to your area - fabric, pattern, etc. Hope I win!

    ReplyDelete
  124. I think you should give away fat quarters, or you should try to make the soap :)

    ReplyDelete
  125. Congrats on your 300th post! I'm all about buttons, so I'd suggestion an assortment of buttons for the giveaway.

  127. Ok let's see...I really do need an apron for cooking, so maybe you could make and give away one of those! It's almost winter here in Australia (today's the last day of Autumn!) so perhaps something left over from your winter this year.
    Ok, and one of my favourite things I've made this month is here:

  128. Happy Anniversary, I have no idea for what to include.

  129. Fabric is always nice. Or some other supply. Those soaps look yummy! Soaps shouldn't look so edible.
    Thanks for your generosity!

  131. something fun to include in the giveaway could be wool....my personal fave. ;) if you don't have any of that on hand, maybe some knitting needles or a pair of scissors. haven't seen many tools being offered out there.

    ReplyDelete
  132. I think embelishments would be fun, or put together a kit to make something.

    ReplyDelete
