My first-ever contest!

So, for those of you who have been reading along over the past few weeks, you will know that I am doing my damnedest to finish up my WIPs and to use up what I have.

Which is just a nice way of saying "no more crap enters this house until I get rid of some of what I already have!!"

Progress was made ... I'm chugging away on the big orange baby blanket.

I sent this blanket off to Rebekah to donate to her animal shelter.
I sent this pile of baby sweaters to Circles to donate to Cradle to Crayons.

I whipped up a cute little notebook cover, using leftover fabric from my couch pillows, leftover interfacing from my two skirts, and leftover ribbon from my Sitcom Chic. (When the notebook is closed, those ribbons tie into a cute little bow...)

I started a new project using up more stuff in my crafty-bitch stash ...
(Full details, and more photos, to come when the project is finished the contest is over -- see below!)

So, feeling all high and mighty and proud of myself, I had the perfect blog post composted in my head about what a good girl I have been, and how I've been crafting from the stash and resisting the temptations to buy more.

And then, a voice from over the cubicle wall asks me "have you read Mason-Dixon today?"

Why no, I had not. Clicky-click on over ... to read this post.

Really, go click on over. Then come back. I'll wait.

So, it seems that my purging has all been in the interest of acquiring more fibery goodness.

So, I am now announcing my first ever blog contest!! (Otherwise known as "whoring for comments".)

Can you guess what my latest crafty project is, those pink and white polka-dotted things shown above?

Any guess, no matter how ludicrous, will be entered in the drawing for some fabulous prizes. How fabulous, you might ask?? Well, we'll have to wait until the Hefty bag arrives!! 'Cause, you know, the hubby is not going to be so pleased when an entire bag full of yarn show up on the doorstep. So, I'll need to let him know that some of it is already designated as yarny prize giveaways! Augmented by stuff from my own stash, too. (Any non-knitters out there, we'll find a suitable prize for you too!)

(Mafia, you are the only one who knows what those pink and white things are, so don't let the cat out of the bag!)

The contest will be open until next Tuesday at noon, east coast time. Leave a comment or send me an email (address in sidebar) with your NAME and BLOG ADDRESS or EMAIL ADDRESS. Be creative with your guesses!
