In honor of the blessings many of you have given me, I'm having a giveaway of one of my bags.
It is made from Anna Maria Horner fabric with a *very* large floral print.
There are polka dots on the inside with one interior pocket.
The bag could be a large purse or a small tote.
I wanted to make something cheerful, since the weather here in New England is so dreary and cold right now. Brrrrrrr!
SO! Leave a comment about something you've done that you consider an accomplishment (doesn't have to be your greatest, just an accomplishment!). If you want to get three extra entries, write about this giveaway on YOUR blog. Then make sure you let me know that you did so. I will pick a winner on Friday, January 23rd by random.
Thanks for reading!
What a beautiful bag!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to say one of my biggest accomplishments is being a mom...and having a baby naturally.
We're about to do it again (any day now) so maybe that's just on my brain, but honestly...it's something I never imagined I could do!
AND...this would be a great baby bag for all our newborn and toddler goodies.
Happy blog birthday! My biggest accomplishment this year was learning to quilt. I'm hooked! I absolutely love this bag shape and the floral print.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary Keri! How exciting:-)
ReplyDeleteTo another wonderful year of inspiration and good times...
Lots of love,
Sommer
I can't resist...that bag is beautiful...
ReplyDeleteMy biggest accomplish? it would have to be Zachary and everything included...trusting God...finding my purpose in Him. Of course, that isn't something I accomplished on my own...it is something that God worked out for me. :)
I posted a link on my blog :)
My biggest biggest accomplishment is Norberta, the dragon from knitty.com, which also seems to be my favorite accomplishment. But once I am done, my wip lace scarf will be my biggest accomplishment since it is my first big foray into lace knitting.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! I don't know if I've commented here before, or just lurkspired (lurked & been inspired, aren't I so clever, ho-ho), but Anna Maria Horner will bring me out of the woodwork!
ReplyDeleteHm, an accomplishment...well, I'm REALLY learning to knit, after being able to only create rectangles the past couple of years, and so I'd have to say it's an accomplishment that I had to rip out a square three times, once when it was two rows form being done, and that I'm still sticking with it. I really, really want to get better at knitting! So, sticking with it is my accomplishment (which, if you could see all my UFOs, you would know is sayin' something).
happy blogiversary,
ReplyDeletei would like to be enter in your give-away. one of my accomplishments is that i have nearly finished raising 6 children and i am still somewhat sane. this is a big deal!

ReplyDeleteOne of my greatest accomplishments is putting myself through college. It took longer than usual but I did it.
Happy Blogiversary! I love the bag and could use a splash of color is dark and gloomy MI!

I blogged about it! Yay! Ok, I forgot the accomplishment. Well, I started a blog... what fun! And I had my 3rd child last year. She is so great!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogversary! Your work is beautiful and I have bookmarked your blog so I can follow your creativeness. I spread the word at my blog...here's the link http://sewfastembroidery.blogspot.com/ Mary
ReplyDeleteThat's a great bag! My greatest accomplishment is having my daughter!
ReplyDeleteThat is a cheerful bag and would be a welcome addition right about now in the chilly midwest!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... an accomplishment. I guess one that timely is watching my oldest daughter get ready to graduate from college and my second daughter get ready to graduate from high school. They have turned into fantastic young women and I'm so proud of them both.
I came over from "things i love" and have enjoyed looking through your blog. Happy blogiversary ...I would love to enter your drawing for that very adorable bag. You are a talented lady!
ReplyDeleteAn accomplishment: I started a veggie garden for the first time last spring in my Florida garden and then just for fun planted another one in the fall. They have both produced food for my family and I'm having a blast learning better ways to garden.

Hi Keri,
ReplyDeleteI would have to say my most recent accomplishment is graduating from college with my teaching degree, although it would definitely not have been anywhere near possible without God. Hope your friendship bread turns out nicely tomorrow!
One of my accomplishments is teaching myself to sew. My mom sewed a lot when we were growing up, but I never took much of an interest. It was only within the last year that I really took to sewing. I now can make my own clothes that I am proud to wear out, make quilts, bags, and just about anything. I love the feeling of accomplishment I get after I finish a project that when I started I didnt know if I would be able to finish it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your blog-iversary! It is so exciting!
Congratulations on your anniversary. One of my biggest accomplishments in the last year was learning how to quilt. I've made three quilts and one of those was all hand stitched. I'm very proud of myself. It's inspired many of my friends to start quilting as well. So that makes it even more fun. The bag you made is amazing. I wish you another year of great blogging and sharing.
ReplyDeleteI've started walking..almost everyday
ReplyDeleteluckydolls123[at]verizon[dot]net
I love your blog it is so cute! Your bag is beautiful also.
ReplyDeleteAn accomplishment that I have made would be learning how to edit videos in iMovie. I can't resist turning our home movies into little hallmark moments!
Beautiful bag!
ReplyDeletea small accomplishment-- getting out and about more....
I would say that learning how to craft (crochet, knitting, sewing, embroidery, etc.) without direct instruction is an accomplishment :)
ReplyDeleteMy biggest accomplishment this year was graduating from medical school. I love you bag, and I am hoping I get a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteYou make beautiful things. An accomplishment I'm proud of is, like you, making my blog something I'm proud of.

ReplyDeleteThat is a really wonderful bag. I used the same print in a different color scheme to make a wall hanging for my kitchen. Love it!
ReplyDeleteMy latest accomplishment is that I finished my first real quilt, hand-sewn binding and all! That and not getting mad at my toddler today. :)

ReplyDeleteA big accomplishment? I learned to knit about a month ago. And I've made a hat, a small tote bag and I'm working on a baby sweater.
One of my accomplishments is going back to school. I have fibromyalgia, just diagnosed with Lupus, and two little ones. With all that I am proud of myself for sticking with school.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is gorgeous and would combat the dreary weather we are having in Michigan as well.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest accomplishment in the crafting world was selling a few things at a craft fair. For my career, speaking at the EPA's national asthma forum. Personally, raising 2 wonderful girls (still working on that one).
Love the bag!! My biggest accomplishment is finishing my Masters...and I made my first quilt so that is a crafty accomplishment too!
ReplyDeleteI'm *very* proud that I gave birth to my great big boy's 15" head with no taring. :)

A lovely and cheery bag indeed. It would be perfect for commuting: project, book, fare card...
ReplyDeleteAccomplishment. A year ago I broke my leg pretty severely and had to have surgery. With lots of patience and physical therapy, I am walking almost normally again. I feel very grateful the injury wasn't more severe and that I am well along the road to a full recovery.

Your tote made me smile.
ReplyDeleteMy accomplishment: Surviving 6 months doing a job for which I"m barely qualified. It's like climbing a mountain using only my pinkies every day.
:)
