giveaways


Apologies for a very late winner and very late giveaway announcement in the pink superhero giveaway of Farbenmix goodies.

A week ago, we bought a car. My first car in seven years. My first car in Australia. Less than 100km later, we had our first tire puncture and I drove our little Melba to the shop to repair her lame foot. All fixed, I've been aimlessly roaming little the countryside and looking for rare fabric gems.

I really wanted call on my own crafty superpower, teleportation. I'd have the power to zoom to any craft shop with a blink of an eye. Two blinks for those really far away places. Instead I sat on the highway with a truck that was on fire and then missed my turn. That's when it dawned on me that I had forgotten to draw!

Without further ado, the random generator has spoken and chose ange_moore, aka Time-Shift Girl. She's out to find us extra hours in the day espcially for crafting! I'll pop your ribbons and some Farbenmix fabric out to you later this week.

Next up for a Farbenmix blue ribbon and fabric pack. Because I was so slack last week, today it's an easy entry contest. Just leave a comment!

  7. This very weekend, I had to rescue my father who bought a new car less than a month ago and was defeated by a super sharp street grate that slashed his tire. I feel for you!

    Thanks for a sweet giveaway!

  8. I hate flat tyres, so not fun, I had one last week, I couldn't get the nuts off to change it, my phone was flat, I called hubby from a payphone but he was not answering, it was night time and dark out, and I had my son with me and he started panicking! But eventually I got hold of my Knight in Shining Armour (AKA my hubby) and he came and rescued us :)

  20. Congratulations on the car! I would like to be able to teleport to fabric shops too, but shopping on line is pretty good, I just have to be patient waiting for it to arrive.

    I have been wishing and hoping for a boys Farbenmix giveaway. Fingers crossed!

  21. Perfect for projects for my boys! Good luck with your car!

  22. Pick me! Pick me! I feel like I'm a little kid again jumping up and down in my seat with my hand in the air.

    I know the car pain, I got two new tyres and some other bits replaced last week and I'm $500 dollars poorer. All I can think is that would have been a hell of a lot of fabric! (Or my entire semester worth of text books..)
