Celebrating with a giveaway

This day last year I started this blog with a short post about how much life was changing and how great it would be to have a place to collect my memories, share projects and basically encourage me to be more creative while documenting this new phase in my life.

Over the past year I’ve shared over 200 posts with you, made a bunch of new blogging friends and fallen in love with their blogs and their stories. So in honour of my blog hitting its first milestone I thought I’d celebrate in style. What better way to celebrate that with my first ever giveaway.

I decided to re-make one of the most popular tutorials I’ve shared on the blog - handmade pillowcases. These pillowcases are made of 100% cotton and are sewn with French seams, a fancy way of saying that they have no exposed edges that can fray when they are washed – they easily fit queen size pillowcases.

If you would like to win these pillowcases simply enter below.

These pillow cases are lovely. I have made a few for my family, but never for myself! Isn't that the way it always goes with a crafter? Congrats on your first year! I look forward to seeing what you create in the next year.
