Happy Monday, everbody! Yes, I know, normally those words would not go together very well, but today they do! And why is that? Because today kicks off my four-day-crazy-generous-who-is-this-fantastic-person-known-as-One-Thing-giveaway week! And today I have something amazing to share with you.
Today is the day that I am proclaiming to the world (okay, so it’s just my little corner of it) just how fabulous my friend Jody is.
My friend Jody is a seamstress extraordinaire. I regularly pop over to her blog to see what she’s up to and drool liberal quantities of saliva all over my keyboard just looking at her quilts. Not to mention her shriekingly cute baby boy.
It’s quite the cleanup afterwards, but I can’t help myself. I am so NOT a seamstress myself, and I just admire someone who can create beauty with her sewing machine instead of using it as a giant paperweight/doorstop as I do. I bought this quilt for Cowboy X last year, and it still makes my heart do a happy dance every time I look at it.
Heart-happy-dances can be a little disturbing when you’re not prepared for them, but it’s best not to panic when they occur.
Now, Jody does not only make quilts, heaven’s no! She also makes things like this
and this
and this
Not to mention these adorable onesies
I know the applique is fabulous, but I love this one. My first three babies were girls, yet people continually asked me “how old is HE” whenever I went out with them, no matter how pink-bedecked they were. When my first boy came along, I thought the gender-confusion woes were over. Nope. First time out: “how old is SHE?”!!!
This onesie would have saved that unfortunate soul’s life.
Jody’s shop is a treat to visit. I think I should be thanked profusely just for introducing you to her. However, because she is a sweet and generous individual as well as being talented (really, where do these people get off?), she is giving you the opportunity to win a $20 gift certificate to her Because I’m Me Etsy shop AND free shipping!
Given that MOST of her items are less than $20, this means FREE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING. Or a sizeable hunk out of the cost of one of her much-coveted-by-me quilts.
Dang. I wish I could enter.
You know the drill: pop over there, peruse her merch, and come back over here and leave a comment telling me what made your heart do a happy dance (be sure to leave contact info should you be Tha Winnah).
I’ll pick a name via the random number generator on Friday!
And have a happy Monday (seems a lot more likely now, doesn’t it?)!
the green/pink/brown sophisticated summer tote is lovely. I love all the cute onesies too!
I could SO totally use a tote! Her’s are beautiful.
The QUILTS!! Wow! Thanks for the opportunity!
