I won! I won!

I love blog give-aways - and I love winning. Sandi, over at Crazy 'Bout Quilts had a give-away the other day and I was surprised to win. Check out her blog - they are painting and doing all sorts of fun stuff - and it is all quite interesting.

Buddy E wanted to help unwrap the package. He let me open the mailing envelope, he is afraid of scissors and worries he might cut his long, pretty dancing legs.

This ribbon is tied so tight . . .

Cute wrapping - another vintage fat quarter - and Buddy E just can't seem to get the ribbon undone . . .

There we go - all unwrapped - whew - that was a lot of work for a little frog . . .

These vintage fabrics make a perfect bed - they remind me of something - ummm - oh right, sheets!!!

Uh oh - another muddle - here I am - inside . . .

And here is Buddy E with his new friend, Paula Bear. They are trying to think up a project for me to make with the wonderful vintage fabrics. They both say - Thank You Sandi!!!!

A delightful painting - I won it!

Sunny had a give-away in June - and I won!!!!! She is the most amazing painter - be sure and check out all her posts.

The painting that I won is from one of my posts - about sailing ships in the bay. The likeness to my photo is amazing - you can even see the people in the boat (click the painting to enlarge the picture). This painting is 6x6" and so detailed. I am just stunned by Sunny's talent - and I adore my painting. It is sitting on the sideboard in the dining room where everyone can see it.


I didn't tell Don I was getting it and when it came in the mail I showed him and he knew instantly that it was painted from my photo. Thank you Sunny - we love our painting. And we love the fairies dancing on the water!!!!
