Congratulations, Ladies!

I do wish I could reward somehow every participant... I will be announcing another giveaway really soon (it will be a bit different from this one, but shhh! it is a secret, still). 
Until then, here is a big, virtual hug to You All!


Have a happy, creative week, Everyone!

Blog Anniversary Giveaway

What better moment to write my 200th post, than to announce the 2nd Anniversary of my blog? 

Yes, it's been two years... 

Two years of stitching, of being inspired by so many talented blogging friends, an ongoing adventure of discovering and learning new ways of using my needles and threads...

I would like to thank you all for bearing with me along these years, for all your support, encouragement and friendship!

Since it is a moment of two's, and as creating pendants has become my favorite activity lately, I thought I'd better keep in style and celebrate by giving away two pendants for two lucky winners:

1. This lovely pendant with red roses in a silver finish setting, with matching organza ribbon necklace:

and

2. A pendant made especially for the winner, according to her preferences, with matching necklace.

To enter the giveaway, all you have to do is leave a comment containing your email address, on THIS post until midnight,
the 10th of March (CET).

I will be drawing the two winners on March 11th.

Although I would very much appreciate it, being a reader of my blog or sharing my giveaway on your blog is not a condition to enter the giveaway.

Good luck, Everyone!

Snowball Fight

This is a long overdue post, as a couple of weeks have passed since I "got hit" by the gorgeous snowball, that was made for me by my first swap partner in the Snowball Fight at CQI, Connie.

With the colors chosen by me, lilac, lavender, pink and green, Connie created this beautiful, CD sized piece of art. I plan to finish it into a journal cover, but until then I can't bring myself to put it away in a drawer, so I keep it on my nightstand so I can admire it every time I pass by :)

Thank you Connie for swapping with me!

My Humming Needles

... kept silent today. This time, the sunlit morning stitching time was put to another use: taking new photographs of all my pendants, with the help of my dear Sleeping Fairy,

Coral Roses

and list them to my brand new Etsy shop, Humming Needles.

Pastel Bouquet

I'm happy to announce that I took a deep breath and then the leap, and I am really excited about it! 

Purple Hollyhocks

So, how do you like these new pendants? Do you think that spring will get the message already?

Have a beautiful Thursday, Everyone!
