Giveaway Time!

This morning I posted off my first 'prototype' soft-toy kit to a good crafting friend (who very generously passes on some of her Selvedge magazines to me from time to time). So I guess this is a good a time as any to post pics of the final 'softie-kit'. I decided to start with the ladybird 'tweedie' as it's got quite a lot of interesting features but a nice simple body shape.

I packaged the kit in a similar way to my 'tweedies' soft toys and used some postcards of my 'beastie' tweedies which I got from Vistaprint a very long time ago. I was really pleased with the image at the time so thought it would be a nice idea to get postcards printed from the photograph and use them at craft fairs and to pop in with orders as a little 'freebie'. I only have a few of the postcards left so while I'm waiting for some more to arrive, it seems like a good idea to do a Giveaway!

Sorry, but the 'softie' ladybird is NOT included in the kit - you have to make him yourself!! I changed some of the elements of the original design to adapt it to kit form. The skill level is aimed at those with good basic handsewing skills and maybe a little embroidery knowledge if you wish to sew the features on, rather than using fabric glue. (Toy stuffing is included with the kit, by the way)

So here's the deal - I'm offering one of my NEW ladybird 'softie' kits up for grabs. In addition to the the softie-kit, I will pop a Harris Tweed patchwork cushion in too (pick a colour!).

To enter the Giveaway, just leave me a comment saying which is your most favourite item from either my Etsy shops (there are 2!) or my Folksy shop. I'll leave the Giveaway open until mid-day (British time) on Monday 1st March. Winner to be announced by 3 pm on the same day.

Pheeeeeeew!:) Hope I didn't miss anything out! Cheerio an Drasda :)

Oooops! - it's open to anyone in the world, of course!! :D
