This was fun! The first ever giveaway on my blog. Thank you all for your comments. I read every single one of them and went to your blog, if you have one. Some of the blogs I found are quite interesting and I added them to my feedburner.
So, with the help of Mr. Random, the winner of the children's apron is:
Congratulations, Christie. She wrote:
"I have a three year old little girl who follows me around the kitchen, wanting to do everything I do. This apron is so cute! I know she's love it!"
Now, on to the second part of this post!!! I have been hinting for a few weeks, that my 100th post is coming up soon! Well, this is it.
I never thought, I would have so much to talk about, or get so addicted to sewing, that I have all these many projects to share with you. Also, I never imagined that there would be anybody out there, who would read my blog (except for family - but they are forced to, because they get automatic emails everytime I blabber). I think, I have four or five Sweeties, who stop by on a regular basis. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
Okay, now on to the giveaway: I have been thinking back and forth about what to do: Fabric?!, something handmade?! and combination of the two?!. In the end I decided to give away one of my Sewing Books. It is brand new with all the patterns still sealed in the pocket inside the book. I will also throw in a couple of cute Baby Buttons.
Here is what you have to do in order to have a chance to win:
1. Leave a comment on this post and tell me what your next crafting project will be (1 entry)
2. Make a purchase in any of my shops between today and this coming Friday (8/14/09) (5 extra entries).
If you mention "Giveaway" during check-out, I will give you an extra 10% off your purchase. This offer is only for you, my bloggy friends and does not include shipping cost or custom orders.
I will leave this Giveaway open until next week Saturday, 8/15/09 and have Mr. Random draw a winner. Good Luck!

Congrats on your 100th post!
My next project are the Halloween costume ideas I have for my girls this year. Never too early to start! ;)
Whoo hoo another giveaway! I have been embroidering and teaching my 4 year old. So I guess my next project is to organize my crafts. My work bench has become my pile-on bench, ouch.
I was so excited on the next giveaway I forgot to say CONGRATS Christie on winning the lovely apron!
My next project is some sewing machine love, I making a thread catcher and sewing machine cover.
There's heaps on my to-do list but I think my next one will be 2 gifts, probably clothes, for newborns presents.
Yeah!!! Lauranie gets five extra entries! Thank you so much.
My next project is my MIL's Family Gatherings Table Topper - she's moving at the end of the month to a smaller place, down the block from my SIL and is getting a round table, which this will be a great housewarming gift for!
My next project is 2 back to school skirts for my daughters...can't wait to start! Your book looks super cute!
My next project is some floor pilows for the kids. they're always stealing the cushions off the couch to make forts, etc., so I'm making some super large pillows! I love Lotta!

I have a few projects that I want to get done soon. 1st I'm going to make some fabric letter for my son. Next I need to make a dress for my niece's birthday. Finally, I want to make a small diaper bag with a changing pad.
My next project is a apron for my grandmother with dementia. She told me how she wishes she had a beautiful apron to "help [her] mom with all the cooking"... at least she can wear it at dinner like a bib!
My next project will be a purse for an Esy team member.
My next crafting project will be of a messenger bag. I got inspired today by one I saw at the store and now I can't wait to make one for myself :)

I'm going to make the baby snuggler (i think its in that book but I got it online) for a friend. WOuld love to see what else there is to sew for baby.
What a lovely book...my next project (well my current one once I work out the tension on my overlocker) is a wrap skirt...then its a wonderul peasant dress for my niece.
I'm working on a quilt for my niece's crib and some bibs for her are waiting on my table! That book would be a wonderful help!
I would love to win, I'm in need of a good sewing book and that one looks perfect!
Oh me, oh my, what project to start next! I have so many on the go! But once I get some things finished, I'd like to start sewing some cloth diapers for my 3 month old - disposable diapers are expensive! I've had my eye on this book, so I'm excited to enter your giveaway. Thanks for sharing it!
I just bought a grab bag full of knit fabrics. I plan to make some things for my granddaughter. This book looks like it would be really helpful for that project!
I am constantly working on a craft, right now the latest is a queit book swap w/ the women from my church, (It's 17 pages!!) I'm also making the bowtie baby quilt from the moda bake shop for my baby girl due in Nov!
Congrats on your 100th post! I'm currently working on a few gifts for friends who recently had babies! Some blankets, bibs and burp cloths.
Cheers!

This is a gorgeous giveaway.

What a great giveaway!
My next sewing project has to be clothing for my 5 year old who is outgrowing everything at once! I'll probably make a few lined jumpers because they are fast.
I'm also looking for a new knit project but haven't found just what I want yet.
I am going to make a Laptop Bag/Sleeve I got some cool fabric for them too!!! =)
My next project is going to be a children's pool robe from Sew Mama Sew. I need to get it done before Summer has flown by!
A quillow.
