Giveaway Day!

Hello there, peeps from Sew, Mama, Sew! Welcome to my blog and my little giveaway. Let me introduce myself. My name is Cricket. I live in Maine, I have two adorable feisty daughters and a really fantastic husband. He is not feisty at all, so they must get it all from me. I am a knitter, a sewer and a general crafting type. Right now, I have a barn full of old furniture I am thinking of restoring/upgrading. And I'm pretty sure I will be homeschooling both kids next year for preschool and first grade. Let me tell you, my house is a disaster and there are piles of laundry everywhere. Which is why it is a good time for a giveaway.

So on with the giveaway! Last year was so cool, I really wished I had been on my game and hosted a giveaway. So while haphazard, I am putting something together this year - 10 pm on Sunday evening. Please don't hold it against me that these pictures are crap.Imagine everything a little brighter, a little prettier. Yeah, that's it.

First, I have a sewing giveaway. Because I could not think of a better theme, this prize package is a rainbow of fat quarters. Here they are. Some of them you may recognize, all are quality quilting cotton and some of them were even bought from Sew, Mama, Sew. Apropos, I know.


Oh man will I ever be glad to get rid of those clowns. I hope someone out there likes clowns, because I can't stand them. That purchase was a momentary lapse of reason.

The second item I have to offer is also a rainbow of sorts, but, well, not. I'm pretty sure all of these are Frog Tree Alpaca, probably sport weight. I had a growing problem with all my yarn getting in a major tangle, and I got in a snit and wound all the skeins into cakes with the help of Ivy, who is 3. When we were done, there were labels fluttering about the room, some with drawings of princesses on the back. So - while I am pretty sure this is Frog Tree, I can't be positive. I'm also pretty sure my mother-in-law had a first and last knitting lesson with the maroon. Yeah. TMI?





So you can enter one or both. Leave me a comment that will make me laugh. Tell me a good story or a joke. Or a joke my kids will like because it will in fact be my kids will choose a name for each prize. Why? Because, well, it seems more fun than the random generator. So clean jokes and stories, I guess. We can all read them aloud and whoever makes us pee our pants (not hard for a certain little judge I know) wins.

And also, while I have you all here. I want to show you something I'm working on.

 
Suddenly I'm all addicted to hand sewing these tiny little hexagons. They're paper pieced, and I want there to be not more than a couple pieces of each pattern.  So if there is any other cracked soul out there who wants to do a scrap swap of pieces at least 4"x4", give me a holler. I thought my scrap bin was big. Heck, I thought my stash was huge. But really? Not so much. I need some help here.

By the way, please feel free to look around my disjointed blog. I would be thrilled if you want to follow, but it won't get you a better chance to win, so only do it if you enjoy my lopsided view of life and my cantankerous ways. And hey - I hope you win something!

  1. Man i hope no one else finds your blog (just kidding) cause these are drool-worthy prizes! I'm trying to think of a funny story.. but I can't sorry, not one, they have all flown away. I'll come back later when I remember one!

  2. Will a limerick do?

    The once was an avid young knitter
    But nothing she knitted did fit her
    'I bet it's the gauge,'
    She said in a rage,
    'but swatching does make life so bitter!'

    Thanks for a great giveaway.
    Please count me in for both set.

  3. I just love those fabrics so much! especially the yellow one with the black leaf looking pattern and the red swirls and kimono ladies. As for the clowns, I'm not that much into clowns either...but are they bunnies and birds next to the clowns? because I love love love bunnies and birdies! And I really like your hexagon work. A couple of blogs have shown their hexagon patchworks and now I am inspired to make one for myself. I think you should steal one little bunny off the clown fabric and make him into a hexagon patch :)

    Happy Giveaway Day!

  4. I'm useless at telling jokes and also as the first commenter that doesn't give me much hope of winning - but here goes with an old joke that everyone has heard a million times and I don't even know if it's a universal theme that will be understood -
    Q "How do you get Picachu on a bus"
    A "Pokemon" cringe!!
    Very generous giveaway by the way, thanks for the opportunity to enter.

  5. I like the clowns! I think they're redeemed by the bunnies.

    And I'm rubbish at jokes but here is a VERY NOBLE CREATURE for your smiles: http://25.media.tumblr.com/9cyPFQbgCqksoo4iIOZUdXABo1_500.gif

    (and i like both prizes, although I prefer the fabric)

  6. Your hexagons are absolutely amazing. I love the clowns - perhaps because they are a bit scaring. My little brother is so scared of clowns - I'd make him a bag and I now he'd bring it around with him. That's how fantastic he is :)

  10. My kids always enjoyed playing this little word game in the car... hope it's not too "gory" for your kids.

    Person 1: There was a dead skunk in the middle of the road. I "one" it.

    Person 1 prods Person 2 to say: I "two" it.

    Person 1: I "three" it.

    (See the pattern? Hopefully Person 2 gets it and says...)
    Person 2: I "four" it.

    Person 1: I "five" it.

    Person 2: I "six" it.

    Person 1: I "seven" it.

    Person 2: I "eight" it.

    Person 1: You ATE it? Yuck!

    Alternate ending...

    Person 2: I jumped over it and YOU "eight" it! (laughter ensues)

    Sorry for the long joke. THanks for the giveaway!!!

  11. my son tells the why did the chicken cross the road joke ((he is 5)) and dies laughing and says " cause he didnt have on any underwear.....he snorts in a fit of laughter. do your kids find that snortingly hilarious too? i think it's ""kid "" humour. haha. or maybe, its just the word 'underwear'.

  12. "Send me the clowns"
    please. Love the fabric giveaway, count me in but I can't think of anything funny to say as I've just come in from weeding the garden and I'm shattered! My nails are dirty too so I can't even sew. Love the hexagons by the way.

  13. Love your fabrics and would like a chance to win them. Not a knitter at all -- I must be dyslexic since I can't read a pattern. I'd be glad to contribute some 4 by 4's for your hexie project. Let me know where... casands1@comcast.net.

  14. What great prizes... not too good at jokes but here goes a kid friendly one...
    Why don't you ever hit crows driving in your car?
    Because they have buddies sitting in tree's saying, "cawr, cawr"

    ... I know not too funny but its the best I have.

  18. Um. I have no joke, but I will tell you that I'm impressed with your tiny hexagons and that thinking about quilting with that precision makes me want to stick a sharp fork in my eye. High five to you--it's just beautiful. Love love love your fabric giveaway. :)

  19. I don't knit, so I'll leave the yarn for someone else but that batch of fabric looks lovely!

  20. The clowns are scary. but cut into small pieces....it could work!

    Hmm, a story I guess b/c I don't know any good jokes. My son asked what you call the doctor who works with butts is called. From the other room I yelled "a proctologist!" He started laughing hysterically and said "A crackologist?" that's so perfect! that's hilarious! Was it already called a crack or is that where it came from?
    I corrected him, but only after he stopped turning red from laughter. boys!!
    have I just decreased my chances??? ☺

    ReplyDelete
  21. Great giveaways! Il love to win either prize. Now for my son's favorite joke at the moment :

    Why did the chicken cross the playground?

    To get to the other slide.

    Thanks!

  24. Seriously, what possessed you to buy those clowns? Fellow clown-hater here. That's okay, the other fabrics make up for it ;) Down to business: I'm not much of a joke-teller but here's one that cracks my kids up every time (and it's a golden oldie):

    kid: Look under there!
    me: Under where?
    kid: I made you say underwear!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Aww I don't like clowns but they are more the cute kind and not scary so I think they are usable :) Maybe for a little boy's toy bag! Thanks for the giveaway~

    ReplyDelete
  26. okay, hate the clowns but the rest of the fabrics TOTALLY make up for them! I could find them a home I am sure!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Okay...I hope either you or your kids are fans of dumb jokes! LOL!

    So, you know if Gravity was a boy, I would TOTALLY fall for him!

    HA!!! Yup. That's my kind of joke! LOL! Thank you for the fabulous giveaway!

  28. My three elementary school sons are always telling jokes...but ones that I try not to remember...
    Great fabric giveaway! And I think that aqua china cabinet would be best filled with fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I do like some of those fabrics, but I'm afraid that if I win them the clowns will have to find a new home. I'm rather terrified of clowns, too . . . there's nothing quite like a clown coming up to you and asking if you want a balloon. (Is that mental image a good enough story on its own?) :)

    Have a wonderful day, and thank you for the giveaway (by the way, I'd like to enter both).

    Blessings,

  30. Wow, this is quite the giveaway! Here's something that should make you laugh: I'm reviewing goat butter for Whole Foods. I don't work there, or have any other affiliation with them besides shopper, but all of the sudden I'm reviewing for them. I think it's hilarious.

    ReplyDelete
  31. What lovely giveaways! Thanks for the opportunity!

    Um, silly jokes - this one is on one of my son's onsies - I kid you not:

    What does a frog give a car?

    A jump start.

    Get it? Cause frogs jump . . . see how they did that? (crickets chirping).

  36. I made this up one day and posted it to my blog, where it got no reaction. I hope it does better here?

    KITTEN: What do you get if you cross a rooster and an owl?

    YOU: I don't know Kitten. What do you get if you cross a rooster and an owl?

    KITTEN: Knock Knock

    YOU: What happened to the rooster and the owl?

    KITTEN: Knock Knock

    YOU: No, really! What happened to the rooster and the owl?

    KITTEN: Knock Knock

    YOU: OK, fine. Who's there?

    KITTEN: Cockadoodle

    YOU: Cockadoodle Who?

    KITTEN: EXACTLY!

    I'd be happy with the knitting rainbow!

  37. Thanks for the chance to win. This joke is compliments of my 12yo:

    A boy was riding with his grandfather when his grandfather suddenly said, "Oh, no! I just made and illegal right turn!"

    The boy said, "That's ok. The policeman behind us just did the same thing."

  40. Oh Jokes. I don't know. Okay.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I would love the yarn. Here is a joke, why does the bunny have a shiny nose? Because the cotton ball is on the wrong end.

  44. When I was little, I was terrified of clowns. Now that I'm bigger, I'm still terrified of them!

    Here is my favorite joke:

    Why is an aspirin small, white, and round?

    Because if it were big, gray, and wrinkled, it would be an elephant!

  45. I will tell you my favorite joke when I was five. I guess it's more of a riddle. Anyway, no-one will guess the answer, guaranteed.

  49. Omg I love the fabrics! I guess I'm aiming for that? :-) As for jokes, I really suck at jokes to be honest. But I do have alot of goofy stories to share that MIGHT be funny to you & your family haha! Lets see (trying to think of the most recent)...Oh! Ok so I was playing around w/ some stick on plastic jewels and I thought to myself hey, that kinda reminds me of Bindi (forehead decoration worn by women from India). So I stuck one on my forehead & went to the bathroom to see what it looked like...I must admit, it looked kinda cool (to me anyway). I got distracted upon returning to my desk and forgot all about the jewel on my head. I went to the grocery store a bit later & wondered why the cashier kept looking at me & trying to avoid my eyes, even tho I could tell he couldnt' help looking at my forehead! When my hubby got home from work, he looked at me and asked what I had on my forehead!! OMG....aaaaaaack! Lets just say I didnt return to the grocery store for a few wks...heheh. Yes, I'm a big cheeseball...hope this was humorous for you & your family & not too drawn out to read...I dont mind making people laugh at the expense of myself hehehe! ;-) Thanks for reading & the opportunity to win!

    Much Aloha,
    Jodes

  63. Oh, I'm not funny. I wish I were. But I'm an identical twin - that's cool isn't it? And I am from Maine (Lee Academy, Class of '89) although I now live in Virginia. And I am a quilter while my twin sister knits. Seems to me, this giveaway has our names all over it. Erin and Ericka, Erin and Ericka, Erin and Ericka (actually, it is Ericka and Erin since she is 7 minutes older, but I'm Erin so of course, I put my name first).

  64. A vet went in for a visit with her family doctor. He asked her several questions about symptoms, etc. Finally she interrupted him, saying, "I never have to ask my patients all these questions. I can just look at them and have a diagnosis."
    "Fine," he said, then looked her over hard. He wrote out a prescription and handed it to her. "Here you go. But it if doesn't work, we'll have to have you put down."

    Love both prizes!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Well, I read your blog for quite a while. It is addicting. You are a great writer. :) I would be pleased as punch to win either prize! I have tons of funny things that happen around here... with 3 children under the age of 4! I think the funniest thing that has happened recently was when our son (who is potty training) peed on our pastor's wife's foot at a cookout. That was a moment for sure! Nothing like a little urine for a good first impression. :)

  79. I have friends who know jokes,but ME I always forget them afterward! The other day my 2yr old son wanted to go to the fish store and so he asked his Daddy to go and my hubby said yes followed by, "What about Mama?" My son replied,"No Mommy-- she's a dumb ass!" How sweet of him! Not a joke, but none the less pretty funny!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Ok, my Dad tells me this joke every time we talk on the phone, and I'll admit that it was funny the first time, so here it is:

    A nice young lady finds a magic lamp, rubs it, and out pops a genie. She asks for her three wishes, but he says that he's not so powerful and can only do one. She thinks for a bit and then pulls out a map, points out a couple of countries, and explains to the genie how she wants him to work on them to create world peace. "Lady," he says, "I thought I explained you I'm not that powerful." She ponders a bit more and then tells him that she will settle instead for the perfect man, one who is attractive and will always be faithful, loving, and sweet, and who will do the dishes. The genie thinks on this for a moment, and then says "Let's take another look at that map."

    The Butt Cream Escapade!

    Miss H and Mr. B were in the room playing. Miss H is 4, Mr. B is 2. Mr. B is potty training and decided to go diaperless.. Well, Miss H would have none of that.. So she grabs a pamper and heads to the back of the house to cover up Mr. B... All of the sudden, a bloodcurdling scream!

    I race to the back of the house!

    Me: Miss H, what happened?
    Miss H: I put his diaper on.. He wanted butt cream!
    Mr. B: WWWWAAAAAHHHHHHH!
    (You should know that he LOVES his butt cream. I often have to pretend to put it on, or he gets really mad!)

    Me: Did you pretend and he got mad?
    Miss H: No, I put butt cream on him!
    Mr. B: WWWWAAAAAHHHHHH!

    I open his diaper to see... that she had covered his entire booty with.... TOOTHPASTE...

    Yeah.. Hope that gave the males a chuckle, lol.

  84. Hey, not so good with the jokes, but I share your love for the hexagons and thought I'd let you know as much. Those are beautiful and you are probably 3 x as far along as I am (that means at least 300 hours further along, by my calculations).

    ReplyDelete
  85. I would so love to win your fat quarters, they would be so beautiful made up, even the clowns! I understand your feeling about clowns, but I bet a baby quilt with a black and white theme with this interspersed would be gorgeous. Let's see...I need to earn this don't I? Well, my favorite joke is an old one, but still makes me smile ---

    "What is the last thing to go through a bug's mind when he hits your windshield?"

    "His butt"

    lol, nuff said. Hope you liked it. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Peggy

  88. Great fat quarter stash. I'm not sure about the clowns either! Went to the Barnum & Bailey Circus this past weekend with my nieces - the six year old was worried we would see "criminal clowns". But all the clowns we saw -- at least from a distance -- appeared nice.

  97. So, two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says, "Does this taste funny to you?"

    I couldn't resist. I'd be happy with either the fabric or yarn, but I kinda hope it's the fabric because I have the perfect project for those clowns (which also fits their ability to terrify others).

    Thanks! :-)

  103. This weekend, I exploded a Pyrex dish in the oven. It blew up with a mighty noise that made me think the house was coming down around my ears and about five billion razor sharp molten shards of glass went flying across the kitchen. I'm lucky I made it out alive, much less unscathed! And, once, I was running and my foot caught in my pant leg and I fell, quite literally, flat on my face. I just kind of disappeared from view. That's pretty much the story of my life.

  104. Someone already did "Q. what's brown and sticky? A: a stick!" So I'll have to go for:

  106. Oooh, what a nice giveaway! My current clean joke to share is:

    A man phoned the police to reporr that there were burglars in his shed. They explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available.

    The man said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.
    "Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I've just shot them all."

    Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.
    One of the policemen said to him: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"

    He replied, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

  113. I think both prizes are excellent, what rich colours in the yarn. Nice! My first thought was the brown and sticky joke, but I see the person directly above me got there first. BUT the joke I found funniest all the way through childhood and teenagerdom was (and this depends on you having the same weird sense of humor as me)

    ok, here goes a really funny animal joke:

    The animals were bored. Finally, the lion had an idea. "I know a really exciting game that the humans play called football. I've seen it on T.V."

    He proceeded to describe it to the rest of the animals and they all got excited about it so they decided to play. They went out to the field and chose up teams and were ready to begin.

    The lion's team received. They were able to get two first downs and then had to punt. The mule punted and the rhino was back deep for the kick. He caught the ball, lowered his head and charged. First, he crushed a roadrunner, then two rabbits. He gored a wildebeast, knocked over two cows, and broke through to daylight, scoring six.

    Unfortunately, they lacked a placekicker, and the score remained 6 - 0.

    Late in the first half the lion's team scored a touchdown and the mule kicked the extra point. The lion's team led at halftime 7 - 6. In the locker room, the lion gave a peptalk.

    "Look you guys. We can win this game. We've got the lead and they only have one real threat. We've got to keep the ball away from the rhino, he's a killer. Mule, when you kick off be sure to keep it away from the rhino."

    The second half began. Just as the mule was about to kick off, the rhino's team changed formation and the ball went directly to the rhino. Once again, the rhino lowered his head and was off running. First, he stomped two gazelles. He skewered a zebra, and bulldozed an elephant out of the way. It looked like he was home free. Suddenly at the twenty yard line, he dropped over dead. There were no other animals in sight anywhere near him. The lion went over to see what had happened. Right next to the dead rhino he saw a small centipede.

    "Did you do this?" he asked the centipede.

    "Yeah, I did." the centipede replied.

    The lion retorted, "Where were you during the first half?"

    "I was putting on my shoes."

  148. I don't have a joke, because I'm not that funny.. but I can tell you my most embarassing moment of all time!! Last week I went to target and as I quickly ran in to get something I spotted this cute tank top. I decided to try in on, on top of my t-shirt since it was nice and tight. Well I was in kind of a hurry so I pulled it off (and I didn't even like it) and while I was trying to get it right side out I realized I had taken off my shirt with it!!! AHhh... Then a moment of confusion I screamed "OH MY GOODNESS" which never helps, because now I have what seems like a zillion people staring at me wondering what the heck I am doing in my bra in the middle of Target- and my 11 month old was clinging and scraming, probably startled at my scream, to say the least it was not easy to get back dressed and I literally wanted to die! What a freak I am!!
    So there you have it.. do I deserve to win??

She also thought it was what you say when you give someone something. One day my hubby was driving her to the zoo. "Tanku!" she said from the back seat. He reached back and she gave him a doll. "Tanku!" she said again. He reached back and she gave him her blankie. "Tanku!" she said again. He reached back and she handed him something small and slimy.

  157. I wish I remembered some of the jokes my kindergarten students tell me- they often make us laugh with their stories.
    Perhaps your children will be entertained by my cat story. We have an orange cat that has a couple of interesting habits- one is that she loves to flush the toilet. We have tried to break her of the habit but can not succeed- She seems to love to watch the water and will try to flush it several times in a row. We should have trained her to use it before flushing..
    She also loves ice cream- only soft vanilla but no matter where she has been snoozing in the house she seems to find us when we are having ice cream.
    You can see a photo of her on my blog at

  165. So, I scrolled down and thought, huh, a kindred spirit!
    -"I was driving down the road..."
    -and then "my poor husband. He knows that the moment I utter those words..."
    - and then I saw the blue armoire... and I thought AHA!! SOMEONE ELSE SLAMMED INTO AN ARMOIRE GOING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY?!
    For real. that is the first thing that went through my head. Who would do such a thing you ask? Only Yours Truly. Except my armoire wasn't blue. It was brown (WAS being the key word). And it had just fallen off a moving truck. In the center lane of the Highway. MY LANE!
    The only thing that makes it better, is - I WAS ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE AUTO-BODY SHOP - picking up my car from repairs on an accident the week before. The ink on that check wasn't even dry yet.
    So yes, my husband also shutters to hear those words "I was driving down the road and..."
    TRUE STORY, no joke!

  168. Ok, so our youngest is 10 so you would think I would have an arsenal of jokes at the ready but my mind went blank... Here are the ones I can remember..

    "Knock, knock"
    "Who's there?"
    "Banana"
    "Banana who?"
    knock, knock
    who's there?
    banana...
    banana who?
    knock knock!
    who's there?
    banana
    banana who?!?
    knock knock
    who's there?!!!
    orange
    orange who?
    Orange you glad I didn't say banana again!!

    (my 10 yr loves to drive his older brothers crazy with this plus the interrupting cow knock-knock joke but someone else did it!)
    (and the ones that make no sense
    like: why did the chicken cross the road? because motorcycle don't have wings! are refered to as football jokes in our house...)

    Humorous story... can't beat the one above where she accidently takes off her shirt in Target. However here goes: When I was working as a preschool teacher at the tender age of 19, I had a precocious little boy (age 4) named Tommy in my class. Tommy had a handsome, construction worker dad... On our way out to the play ground in front of parents, all the staff, and children Tommy pipes up in a rather boisterous voice (definitely wasn't his "inside" voice!!) "Miss Peggy, I tend to agree with my dad, you do have a nice butt!!" I wanted to die right then and there. (Trust me this raised more than a few eyebrows as he was a married [although seperated] man and I was very, very single!! [my boss even took me aside to have a "chat"... she was great about it though!!])

    Umm, I have no idea which one... fabric? yarn? They are both lovely so I'll let you chose... (I know cheater way out...)

    BTW I am dying reading your blog... are you sure you haven't been secretly chronicling some of my life! but you write about it much more hilariously!!

  179. I have no joke but on my blog you can see a picture of our tiny little cat sitting in the hay while our donkeys are eating, so cute, your children will love that? Each morning the first thing the cat does is going to the donkeys, especially one of them; They are very good friends, you could say that they are caressing each other, so lovely to see. The tiny little cat and the big donkey hat .....

  186. Not exactly a funny story but it is one my grandfather who was a story teller used to tell.

    There once was a man who lived in a house by the edge of a lake. Every morning he would look across the lake at the shining golden windows of the home on the other side of the lake. He would tell himself that some day he would cross the lake to find out who lived in a house with such beautiful golden windows.

    One afternoon he was out on his dock fishing when he noticed that there was a boat coming across the lake. When the boat pulled up to the boat stopped at the dock the man who stepped out asked "are you the owner of this house?" The gentleman who lived there responded that yes he was.

    "I have been wanting to meet the person who owned a house with such beautiful golden windows." replied the man.

  195. I like those clowns because one day, some day, I want to make my 3 boys each an I spy quilt.
    What makes me laugh is when one of my boys is angry and I ask him to look even angrier, they have to laugh, even if they just WANT to be angry :D

  196. I would love either giveaway.

    Okay get ready to pee. This is my favorite joke. But whoever is going to read this outloud to the family needs to quietly read it to themselves first so they can really deliver the punchline to the fullest extent. It will maximize the giggles for all.

    Here's the joke......

    Two muffins were sitting in the oven. One muffins says to the other, "Wow, it's getting really hot in here." The other muffin yells, "Agghh. A TALKING MUFFIN."
