Raffle Fundraiser for Sparrow Salvage

One of my favorite Etsy artists, Penny of Sparrow Salvage, was in a horrible car accident about 3 weeks ago and  is still on the mend in the hospital.  Kindly, Fanciful Devices is raffling off this fabulous necklace to help raise money for Penny.

Thank you!

Fun Mail

Look what I got in the mail yesterday.  Actually it arrived last week, I just couldn't seem to get to my PO box before the dang office closed until yesterday.

So anyway, Look what I got in the mail yesterday!

My own Embroidery Saint Print made by Holly at Sweetheartville.

How cool is that!

(please ignore the sad ficus in the background)

I won it over on Heather's blog Audrey Eclectic Folk Art.  If you haven't been by there, you really should take the time to check it out.  It is her birthday month and she has been having drawings every week in celebration. If you hurry you can get in on the last drawing for an original sketch. As much as I want to I haven't entered any more of the drawings, having won once it would make me feel totally greedy.

On another note, check out these wee little rag roses I've been stitching away on.

I plan to put them into some embroidery pieces.

Now, hop on over to enter Heather's Drawing!

Etsy Teams

I joined an Etsy team! It's the Treasury Challenge Non Team.....so I guess it's not really a team....but it is a team...whatever.   Each week the winner of the previous week gets to pick one of their own items as the inspiration item.  

This week it's these cute little hand knitted baby socks.

This week is my first week to participate, I made This treasury:

Baby trashes bar in Las Palmas

Too Funny!

I found this on A Cup Of Jo this morning and just had to share. It's by a Swedish director Johannes Nyholm and is definitely worth watching.

Pencil Sculpture by Dalton Ghetti

Seriously Amazing sculptures made by Dalton Ghetti

Have you seen these before? Apparently his artwork has been in the public eye for sometime.

I came across one of his sculptures on craftgawker this morning, posted by ink&vineleaves

Here is a neat little article about him from the New York Times that was written back in 2007
