three time's a charm

What is better than having one giveaway winner?... um, try three! With my little helper Jasper doing the random draw this morning, the three winners of this month's giveaway (and their answers to what their favourite craft tool/material) are:

1. Kristi McMurray (www.kristimcmurry.blogspot.com): I love my scale miniature deer. I photograph other miniatures for my shop, but my deer are my favourites.

2. Stacey Winters (www.staceywinters.blogspot.com): My favorite craft tool is my exacto knife, couldn't do a lot of things without it!

3. Tsuki aka LittleGrayFox (www.littlegrayfox.blogspot.com): My favorite tool is probably my embroidery thread. I have practically every color, it's really quite ridiculous!!!

Congrats to all the winners! Each of you is getting the Sublime Stitching Embroidery Pattern and two lovely pin brooches in the mail soon... happy stitching! Thanks again to everyone who entered... and stay tuned for the giveaway next month!

february giveaway - win an embroidery pattern and two pin brooches!

It is that time of month again... as in giveaway time! A bit of a twist to this month's giveaway too... there are three opportunities to win, since all good things do happen in threes right? I am such a fan of Sublime Stitching, that I decided to offer three of their awesome iron-on craftopia patterns as a thanks to all my readers and followers. And to add a Cabin + Cub touch to the prizes, each pattern will also come with two cute 1" patterned button brooches made by yours truly.

Enter to win by posting a comment telling me what your favourite craft tool or material is... maybe it is your trusty glue gun (or perhaps you are really hardcore and also have a glue gun with matching holster), or do you cherish your knitting needles, or perhaps you are a little too addicted to your bedazzler... let me know! Post your comment and you could be one of three winners!

A random draw will be made next Wednesday (February 23rd), so check back to see if you win! Please remember to include some sort of contact info (etsy shop, blog, website, or e.mail address) and please only one entry per person. Good luck!

what a hoot!

I love owls and owl-y things... especially crafty owl things. Yes, I know, owls are really really popular and there are thousands of pages of them on etsy, but how can I resist... they are so darn cute! On the weekend, my brother-in-law gave us this embroidered wall hanging he nabbed at a garage sale for 50¢! Isn't it a hoot?... what a steal! You can't tell from the picture, but it is about 1 ft' x 2 ft in size. Now I am on the hunt for wall space in our place to hang this awesome piece of owl-y kitschiness.... it might just make its appearance in Bun's room (which is still a work in progress).
