The Snow is Melting

We have a great weekend coming up since the snow is melting.  It's sloppy out there, mind you, but the snow piles are going down fast.   My garage is a mess and I can't wait for warmer weather to scoop out the muck- you know, the salt and cinders that drop to the floor from the wheel wells  every time you have to drive in sloppy weather.

The dog needs a bath but I'm afraid to go to the groomer- the last time I tried I fell down the garage steps and I have bad memories.  I still feel the pain when the weather is cold.  She can wait a little longer.  One of my more senior moments I guess.

I finally got the deck cleaned off so we just need some sunshine now.  I can actually get to the bird feeders without putting on my boots for a change.  We did not lose power, heat or TV so life is good!

I spent this week updating stuff.  Etsy, Craftsy and the website.  I listed some patterns on Etsy with free buttons included.  I'm trying to cut back on the amount of supplies we keep so I will be doing away with the buttons as soon as they are gone.  If you need any for specific patterns, email me at pgpeddler@aol.com.

I do have 8 new applique pressing sheets in packages left from retail shows.  I would love to get rid of them all but shipping them would be a pain since they each have to go in a box. If anyone wants all eight, for the wholesale price with free shipping, let me know.

A Special End of the Year Drawing

I was under the weather yesterday and apologize for not finishing the post.  I could not bring myself to go back to the computer and literally slept all day!  We all need those days at times.  There was ice covering everything outside, including each blade of grass. Church was cancelled due to icy roads so there was no place to rush off to. The Christmas tree was lit all day and when I wasn't sleeping, I was in the big green recliner next to it reading a book.  I keep telling myself one day I will take a reading vacation- you know, when you do nothing but read for a few days.

Anyway, I did the drawing and the winners were Lynn from NC and Vicki from MN.  Each will receive a little bundle of the blue fabrics from the Snowfolk fabric line.

I have been listing Instant Download patterns on Craftsy a little at a time.  If you want a pattern NOW, that's the way to go!  You can see my store here-

I have more to add this morning so keep checking back.  I am thinking about adding cross stitch and punchneedle on there at some point.  

Have you ever purchased Instant downloads?  If so, do you like it better? or not?

This last drawing coming up is for the Snowfolk fabric panel...

and a yard of the navy snowflake fabric to finish it up.

Week 2 WINNERS! Yes, there are TWO!

Well, you did it.  The number of entries for Week 2 actually went up almost 50%  from Week 1 so I drew 2 names.   It's great but I'm still trying to reply to everyone and I hadn't thought about how long that would take!  I got a lot of notes though and want to personally reply to each entry.  I'm not half done but I thought I better get the winners posted.
They are:

Donna G. from TN

and Kathleen B. from MT

Congratulations to Nora N.in Week 1 for winning the red bundle. 

Congratulations to Donna and Kathleen for winning Week 2. I will be sending you both a little bundle of green fabrics from the Snowfolk line this week.  I love doing these drawings!

The Snowfolk Week 1 WINNER is....

I got my Christmas tree put up and Grace, my 6 year old granddaughter, came to help me decorate with the ornaments last night. She did a great job distributing the ornaments all over and not just in one spot like last year!  She even pointed out where each one was hanging last year.  It's a kid thing I guess!  We listened to Christmas music and she sang songs for me while we worked.
It was one of those special bonding times.  Her PaPa fed her ice cream and chocolate syrup afterwards for being such a good helper.  Now it's on to decorations around the house.

I got a new Kindle Fire last week and boy, I can't seem to set it down.  All I want to do is read.  I had the original Kindle and I loved it but the Fire is lit so I can read in bed without the lights on.  It also alerts me as to how many hours I have left to finish each book.  Great for deciding- go to sleep?  or just finish? I love it.

I did the Week #1 drawing first thing this morning, sifting through all of the emails and tossing the few who failed to add their address (~~sigh~~).  I pulled a winner, lucky number 37 this time, going by the order the emails come in.  The winner is Nora from NC.  Congratulations Nora, I will be sending you a little bundle of red fabrics from the Snowfolk line this week.  I love doing these drawings!

In fact, if I get 25% more entries this week,  I will draw TWO names this next weekend. Keep entering and tell your friends.  You just never know.

This week we have a drawing for the green bundle from the Snowfolk line.

So, here's what you do for the Week 2:

Email me at PGPeddler@aol.com before next Saturday night, December 14, at midnight central time. If you are not sure of this time zone, make sure you email before Saturday.

In the Subject LINE of the email put WEEK 2 GREENS.

Such a Wonderful Time of the Year!

Well, the weather outside is frightful
 but the fire is so delightful.

and since I've no place to go, 
let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

OK, so it's not really snowing.  It's not even THAT cold.  But a person can dream right?
I love snowy nights when I have no place to go.  I did spend yesterday cutting up snowman fabric.  It's from my line called Snowfolk by Benartex.  The line has lots of navy blues, greens and reds.

Here's the panel that goes with the line.  

I've decided to do a DRAWING each of the next four weekends on THIS BLOG for a small collection of the fabric line. 

Week 1- seven fat quarters of red and tan fabrics

Week 2- seven fat quarters of green and tan fabrics

Week 3- seven fat quarters of navy and blue fabrics

Week 4- the panel pictured above and a yard of navy snowflake fabric to finish it.

So, here's what you do for the first drawing,  Week 1:

Email me at PGPeddler@aol.com before Saturday night, December 7, at midnight central time. If you are not sure of this time zone, make sure you email before Saturday.

In the Subject LINE of the email put WEEK 1 REDS.
This is very important.  ALL emails without this exact wording are not considered for the drawing.

In the BODY of the email- put your name and mailing address.
WE do not share this info with anyone, in fact, we delete them after the drawing.  This just makes it faster to ship the fabric.
If you don't put your name and address in there, we will draw another name.

It's pretty simple. 

If you live overseas, enter.  It's not just for the U. S. We will send it to you if you win.  I promise.
