This Week’s Give-Away: Time & Space Pins!

And doesn’t that make you think of The Jetsons? No, I’m not providing a link:  if you don’t remember The Jetsons, it will just make me cry.

I can say how much I love the cover of my book without seeming to brag, since I had absolutely nothing to do with it. I mean, really:  I didn’t even SEE it until, by surprise, I came across it on amazon.com. Yikes.

But that makes it OK for me to say it’s fabulous. And so this weekend I was thinking it would be cool to make something with this collage-y-ish book cover image. I thought, “Gee, a tote bag would be nice, since I don’t have any tote bags and could kind of use something to haul my stuff around.” Snort.

So I started running some fabric through the printer, and then some sheets of printer-ready-fabric-esque stuff from various companies, and the next thing you know, I had cover images in a bunch of sizes, and then I was compelled to spend the rest of the weekend making those into little batted appliqué things. I worked all damn weekend on the stitching of these. And, in the process, although I did not even begin on a tote bag, I did make some of these pins:

I love these. I’m making one for me, and The EGE wants one to wear to school. That should leave about half a dozen to give away, so that’s what I’m going to do this week. I mean, really:  what can I do with half a dozen pins except find new homes for them?

They’re about 3” x 3”, with a felt backing (real felt) and a pin back and some beading around the edges. They will remind you to make Time and Space for creativity in your life, which is a very good thing to be reminded of (of which to be. . . .), indeed.

Here are The Rules:

1) You have to wear it. And pet it and talk nice to it.

2) If you post a comment throwing your name in and don’t check back on Friday to find out if you’ve won so you can send me your address, I will send Evil Voodoo Spirits to your house to pee on your carpet back there behind the sofa where you’ll never think to look, but when you have company and they’re sitting there drinking tea, this hideous odor of horrible horse-like piss (Voodoo Spirits have some powerful pee, let me tell you) will waft up and overwhelm everyone in the room. In the whole neighborhood, in fact:  your neighbors will turn you in to the Department of Sanitation, and you will be cited for Nasty Odors.

So if you’re not coming back, you might not want to put your name is, is all I’m saying.

Otherwise, go for it! And I’ll get back in there and bead some more of these babies~~
