The Winner and A Crafty Give Away

Thank you everyone for your kind words about Lilly's being sick. Her fever is gone today, but she and big brother are still coughing.

Finally it is time to announce the winner of Vilte's shawl. Thank you to everyone who participated!I used the Random Number Generator to select the winner and the lucky person is:

Mary Pennington!

Congratulations Mary, this is the lovely shawl Vilte has selected for you:

When I contacted Vilte about the winner of the give away she wanted me to say:

"Take a moment for yourself and sense the gentle and light as a feather silk touching your skin. Be feminine. Congratulations on winning the giveaway, Mary!

And thank you all who participated in this giveaway. Especially for all your warm and kind words for my shawls. This means a lot to me!"

I know many will be disappointed about not winning. I am so sorry! I know that I too am dying to own one of her creations and I couldn't even enter the give away... To help ease the sadness I am having another give away!

This last one was so much fun that it deserves repeating. This time the give away will have two prizes with two winners! First I need to show you something exciting for me that has to do with prize number one.

Give away number one is a brand new issue from the UK's sewing magazine Sew Hip! They kindly offered to send me this issue when they asked if they could feature my dolls. Since I already subscribe to the magazine I requested they send it to a lucky blog reader instead and they agreed!

So on page 72 I'm tickled to find my dolls alongside of these other colorful plushies!

The second gift for some other lucky person will be some of my favorite fabrics. I will just give a peek at them, and a good look at a few.

If you follow my blog you will recognize many of them as I have used most on my dolls. They are a great array of pinks, reds and blues, European fabrics, many Tilda, mostly Norwegian.

I plan on tossing other goodies into this bundle too: delightful surprises like ribbons, buttons, flosses, etc!

You may enter up to 4 times for the chance to win either the magazine or the fabrics with surprises!

For one entry, leave a comment to this post.

For a second entry please mention this give away on your blog and link to this give away. Once you have done this, post another comment to this give away post telling about your blog mention, and you receive a second entry.

For a third entry, alter your “Status” on Facebook to mention this give away. Be sure to include the url: http://ravenhill.typepad.com/weblog/  so that your friends can visit too. Once you have done this, post another comment to this give away post telling about your facebook mention, and you receive a third entry.

For a fourth entry mention and link to this give away on Twitter. Once you have done that just let me know in the comments that you have twittered.

I will announce the winners on June 10th.

Wow what lovely fabric. I haven't seen that issue of Sew Hip yet. It's too expensive for me to subscribe to in the states. I just buy the ones I really like from the book store. It looks like I'll have to get that issue though.

I would LOVE to win either the magazine or the fabric. The magazine looks fantastic. What a compliment to have your lovely dolls featured in such a quality mag.
