Win a Pin
For the past year I have been admiring all the lovely pinkeeps which keep appearing on various sites. I read and re-read Vonna's instructions and still I didn't have the courage to actually make one myself.
After receiving the lovely 'Blessed Be' pinkeep from Harmien I just knew I had to attempt it and make my very first pinkeep for her. As always the stitching was great fun - but then came the hard part - finishing!!! Back to The Twisted Stitcher Tutorials which are fabulous and everyone should check out. But still I didn't feel self-assured enough to attempt it so I emailed the non-suspecting Harmien who gave me some additional practical & moral support and voila - MY FIRST PINKEEP.
'Winter Joy' by the Little by Little Design Co.

Now that I have my first pinkeep under my belt I want to do something else I have spotted on many blogs - a draw for a bit of personal stitching.
During 2009 I will stitch and finish three Christmas pinkeeps to send out. If you are interested in receiving one let me know in the comments section of this post on or before December 12.
On December 13 I will have three names drawn and will post them that evening. Remember these are for Christmas 2009 - you will receive your pinkeep sometime before December 2009.

I really shouldn't enter this one... I'm the VERY happy recipient of you very first and VERY pretty pinkeep!! But a girl can never have enough of these beauties, now can she????
Margaret, congratulations on giving it a try! What an excellent job you made of it! :D Naturally I would just LOVE to be included in your drawing. :D

Your first pinkeep finish turned out great! Great job.

Great job! I have a site I no longer update with two tutorials still on it and pinkeeps was one. I left the site as I know it is listed on a finishing smalls site. I know how fun pinkeeps are as I started my pinkeep basket years ago. Since then I have enjoyed watching many others get the pinkeep fever.

Margaret, you have such a huge generous heart! Your stitching is absolutely beautiful and I would be honoured to be considered for one of your draws for a pinkeep Christmas 2009!

It's a pity than you can't be part of our HalloSal but I do understand. Too many commitments is bad for your peace of mind...
I'm glad to see that you've started stitching for Xmas too. Are you decorating yet?
