Announcing a May Day Tussie Mussie Giveaway

I've really enjoyed making tussie mussies of late, and with May Day approaching, what better time to have a giveaway? Leave a comment on this post anytime between now and April 30. On May 1st, a winner will be selected. I am currently working on the giveaway prize, so it is not one of these pictured - these are already listed for sale on my website. But I promise it will be pretty! It is not required to post a pic on your blog, but I would be really happy if you spread the word to your friends. Thank you for stopping by!

Swaps Galore!

I broke my own rule and participated in 3 swaps at the same time. I vowed to participate in only one at a time, but these were all just too much fun! I just got all my packages shipped before the deadline. For the May Day Tussie Mussie swap , here's the tussie mussie I received from my partner, JoAnne, in New York. She did a beautiful job - look at the sweet vintage bird on top - I just love it! And all the goodies she sent. The last pic is a sneak preview of the tussie mussie I made for her.
