A Giveaway: now closed

sewing... sewing...

How this works:

I will be giving away 2 blinkies-- not the ones pictured above, but as follows:

1. a lucky blog reader will win a custom blinky. You will be able to pick a general theme/colour/fabric style, a sub species-- cat, bunny, sheep, dog, the gender and the face features (eyes opened, happy, sleepy), and select the name, age and likes and dislikes. International entries welcome! :)

2. an even luckier reader who is attending Mathilda' Market on Sunday will also have the chance to select a blinky of their choice from my stall... and therefore could potentially win both prizes since they will be separate draws. For 1 extra entry, facebook, twitter etc, but I need you to tell me so I know.

To enter, just make a comment below, make sure to leave an email address so I can contact you. If you are attending Mathilda's, be sure to tell me so that I can pop you into the second draw. I will announce the winners on Friday evening, and will email the Mathilda's winner a special code so as to claim your prize on Sunday.

Good luck-- pass on the message, especially to Sydney siders and I'll love you more!

Vic said...

Oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh!!! More reasons to wish I still lived in Sydney... as if I needed any...!
Oh well, I will just have to appease myself with the knowledge that I WILL win the other one, I mean, of course I will. The alternative just doesn't bear thinking about.
Hope your market trip goes well - I am having fun imagining your winner sideling up to your stall in a trench & fedora, glancing around in a suspect fasion & muttering your secret code under their breath to claim the prize, that code, I believe, shall be; "Red umbrellas fly uninhibited through moonlit double glazing."
*fingers SO DAMN CROSSED, it hurts a little*

Hello,
Gosh they are so cute. We are bunny fans in our house so that's what we'd go for. Look at those amazing fabrics in the photo! Mathilda's market is so beautiful but I'm not going this year unfortunately due to lack of transport. Have a great day and congratulations on your beautiful work.

Caroline said...

Oh, I would love to win one! Being a scientist the thought of chosing a sub-species is very appealing...and it can make friends with my bug from the bug swap. Cool!

I know my Oscar would just love one with the longest ears!
Would that be a bunny or a sheep?
