Giveaway Day Winners

Time for the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day giveaway winners.

First of all, I'd like to thank Sew Mama Sew for organizing such a wonderful event twice a year.

It really is a treat, not only to have all this wonderful crafter's delight available to you in hundreds of giveaways across the globe, but also to have the opportunity to find some great blogs to look through and follow.

I know for a fact that many friendships have been forged because of Giveaway Day.

Having said that, I'd like to thank all of you for participating in this year's Giveaway Day here at One PerfectDay.

Your response was amazing and it was such a joy to read through each and every comment, even though it was impossible to answer due to the sheer amount of incoming comments a day.

Golden Wood Nymph Hair Wreath

Lately I've been making hair wreaths.

 This is something very new and exciting for me as, even though they've been on my to-make list forever, I'd never attempted them before.

These hair wreaths are an all glitzy-and-glamorous gold admixture of leaves and pine cones which conjures up images of festivities and revels to me.

The pictures are admitedly not the best but I'm hoping that when I shoot them on a model they will reveal all their grecian godess potential.

(Anyone out there who would like to model this for me?)

But for now this is all you get and I'm hoping you can see them through my eyes....

If you look closely at the photos you can see that there's a hint of shabby-chic about the leaves -that I particularly like.  

Each wreath is unique and distinct. 

No two are identical.

I've posted one in Fairytale Flower already.

Paper To Petal Flower Inspiration

Lately my imagination has been captivated by images from this book, Paper To Petal by Rebecca Thuss and Patrick Farrell. 

Have you seen it?

I've never made a paper flower even though I admire them tremendously -enough to put them on my (never-ending) to-do list.

This book makes me want to go and start right now.

I've already put it on my Christmas wish list.....

Tilly's Stitcher's Dream Giveaway

Tilly And The Buttons Stitcher's Dream Giveaway

Yes, I have been MIA lately with updates being few and far between - even though I have so many lovely things to share....

 I will be back soon with all sorts of updates.

In the meantime, there's a great giveaway over at Tilly And The Buttons that any sewer/crafter would hate to miss.

And next week is Giveaway Day at Sew, Mama, Sew. This will be the third year I'll be taking part in it and I'm planning a couple of giveaways, so be sure to check back for that on Monday.
