You Got Lucky

Well "we" just picked the winners for the giveaway! Oh my goodness was I giggling - what a time with an 11-week old kitty!  Poor Jonesy - he wanted to play but you know how sometimes the little ones take over - well Jonesy got to "pick" one - Quentin picked the other two!  Riley was off napping - guess he's too "mature" for such antics!

Anyway - have a few pictures but I gave up trying to make the paper balls and get them together and then pic up a camera was hopeless - Quentin was in overdrive of play mode...

first they didn't know what I I was doing...


then the start of the little paper balls were spotted...


not even letting me make balls out of them...




Finally got three piles made and then did one at a time...


Quentin picked....PATIJANE....she will receive Crystal!

Jonesy picked....LAUREN (Rugs and Pugs)....she will receive Koolpop!

Since Jonesy and Quentin both had a ball in their mouth and I didn't see who picked it up first - I will give away two feather tree kits. 

Jonesy picked...Cathy (Orange Sink)
Quentin picked...Ann (A Hole in the Basket Primitives)

I so wish I could give everyone that entered something but I can't.   

So if you girls could email me your addresses I would appreciate it. 

For the girls that won the feather trees - if you need wool for your trees - let me know your pic - green or white (an off white really).

And just a note about Koolpop - Koolpop was my first "kit" - I discovered rug hooking in 2004 and signed up for this workshop but by the time I took the workshop I had three rugs done.  So it's an early one I did and first time I attempted to hook thru wool  Crystal was the the 2nd attempt (another kit) of hooking thru wool.

I will do my best to get out your package on Monday so you have time to enjoy them and/or make trees before Christmas!

Thanks for all that participated! It was fun!

Well on Wednesday right before I left to go to Chambersburg, Quentin decided to go into play mode...




He had me giggling (again) climbing and hanging by one paw off the scratching post and attacking the lobster tied on it! 

Riley was watching from on top the TV cabinet...


Eventually he had enough watching and went down and joined in the fun - let's just say the scratching post wasn't standing afterward!

Well another trip to the Hook-in at Grant Street Woolworks didn't disappoint.   When I got there Kathy was already working away.  Lots of great rugs were being worked on thru-out the day (didn't get pics - sorry!)

Of course a day at Grant St isn't the same without the silliness...

Linda had a package from the secret pal cauldron...

This person decided she needed some holiday cheer...


Well what's a girl to do but model them!


No words - this "view" is priceless.  I think Kathy is "saying" it all!


I believe she even got a dollar tucked in them!

I didn't bring hooking but brought the supplies to make some more feather trees.  I also stopped at the Hobby Lobby before I went to the Hook-in to buy some more supplies.  Good thing I did  because Nancee and Nancy decided they wanted to make one. 
I made 5 of them - In front of the girls is my red sparkle tree - Didn't think I would like this but I absolutely love it! So pretty in person.


Kathy was hard at work on her Harvest Rug ...,


Well there you have it - the winners - the boys are still downstairs rumbling around!


Have a great weekend!

Congratulations to the winners!
The kitties sure have livened up with Quentin, nothing like a kitten to bring out the silly in our older kitties.

Hey, you lucky ladies! Those feather trees are FUN to make! And the winners of the pillows won't be disappointed either. Joanne does the coolest hooking!
The great thing about Quentin is that you got him when he was teeny tiny and now you have extra months of kitten craziness! That little boy is a live wire!!! It's hard for the big guys to resist the fun. I don't think cats ever forget the joy of being young and silly.

Congrats to all the winners - what fun those kitties have been having!

Ann said...

Thank you, Thank you! I've emailed you already and can't wait to receive my kit. I had to laugh at your ingenious way to chose the winners - trying to imagine my 2 doing that. It might take Frito days to notice the paper, let alone bat at it! Glad you had fun (as always) at Grant Street. ~Ann

Joanne, Give Quentin an extra treat for picking my name. He is such a sweet kitty. Looks like Grant Street can be quite fun. Ginger & I hope to come your way this next summer and enjoy some of the fun. Can't wait to see Kathy's rug. Looks beautiful so far. I do like the red sparkle tree too. Making a special place for Crystal to reside. Thank you so much!!!!!

I stopped by the folk art sale today. Your rugs were all so beautiful. I forced myself to make a decision and bought the one with the red house. I'll post it on my blog, the colors are great for Christmas. I saw someone else buy the one with birds on it, which was my second choice...oh and the long one with tulips, I liked that too....looks like you'll have a good show.
