Holy Giveaway Response, Batman!

Thank you all for participating here. I’m honored and floored that so many of you were interested in this little make-up bag!
I went with random.org to choose the winning comment number. Apparently the way WordPress numbers the comments here is from the very start of the blog. So the giveaway post comments ranged from numbers 268 to 799!
And the winning comment is…

Congrats to Jacquie of Under the Shade of a Bonsai Tree! I’ll send you your congratulatory email ASAP. You have 24 hours to reply back to me; otherwise I’ll redraw the number and pick a new winner tomorrow.
Thanks again, everyone. :) There will be future giveaways, for sure.

I’m offering 20% off everything in my shop (minus shipping) from now until June 8th. Simply mention the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway when checking out. Refund will be given via Paypal.

April Showers Bring May Flowers

I’ve been working on the party favors for the upcoming baby shower. They are Divine Chocolate bars wrapped in a paper sleeve featuring a little baby carriage with button wheels.

I also forgot how much I love embroidery–I haven’t done any in ages. I think the spring has inspired me. I’m working on a forsythia zip pouch now, because everywhere I go there are big patches of yellow.

Making the makeup bag and camera strap struck some cord in me. I’ve been missing sewing things for myself. I figured I’d take some time off from my shop and focus on me.
From now (or sometime this weekend) until the end of April, everything in the shop is discounted to help with a recent vet bill and make way for new items to come in May.

Hi March

Heads up to those of you who love sales… EtsyNJ is having a team wide “Spring Fever” sale from March 1-14. Check it out here or click the image below for more info and participating shops.

In Like a Lion…

Every day in March the Liesl Made Shop will be updated with at least one new item. Here is a sneak peek of things to come…

2009 on the Horizon

A few new happenings going on here in the Liesl Made world.
First of all, I’ve updated my shop with a few new items.

On through to the New Year I’ll be having a sale in my shop, discounting select items.
Then, come the first of ’09, I’ll begin updating my shop with lots of new completions, including (finally) some clothes like an adorable organic jumper, skirts and more.
As well as officially deleting my old blog. I kept it up because many sites had links to the old tutorials but I think I have established myself enough here make the switch. Besides, I don’t know how many times I almost posted there instead of here. Not to mention, (this isn’t very business savvy of me, but…) I don’t like to have too much of a web presence. I have my favorite sites and I stick with them. I have no desire to get a Facebook or a MySpace. I guess they might be fun but, honestly, I have no idea how people keep up with all of them. Just Flickr and the blogosphere are more than I can handle. And yes, one blog is enough for this girl.
