Calling All Embellishers Birthday Giveaway
Since my birthday's this month...
...I'd like to share my...well...joy would be too strong a word...
...how about my satisfaction with my middle-aged life, family and relationships...
...by giving one of you a gift!
I wanted to try some more pre-felt work...
...so I made a table 'topper' (smaller than a runner, larger than a placemat)...
...using birds, flowers and a bunny from Lena Corwin's dressed- up dresser tutorial.
Since the pieces were small...
...I'm afraid that several of them became a little undifferentiated upon felting.
It's nice and flat, though...
...so vases and the like can be placed on it without spillage.
*************************************************************
It can certainly be used as is...
...but to me, it is just crying out for a little je ne sais quois...
...and I know that there is a crafter out there in blogland, armed with some embroidery floss, beads or who knows what...
...ready to make it her/his own!!
If you'd like to win it...
...just comment on this post by midnight (EST) on Saturday, March 6th.
I will randomly select a winner on Sunday morning, March 7th.
In your comment, please be sure that I have a way to contact you!

Ooo what fun! Please add my name to your giveaway. It would be a nice win especially after a horrendous week between ER and vet trips!
Okay... I've taken your advice and have been very un-British and I'm leaving a comment! Would love a chance to add a bit embellishment to your felt.
Hi Heather -- It's my birthday on the 9th -- I'd love a chance to win this beauty!
Thanks, girls...the give away is now closed.
