200th Post!!!

Hi there friends,
Welcome to my 200th post. Grab a cup of coffee, call in sick to work and prepare to read 200 amazing and rare facts about ME!
Kidding!
I would like to take a few minutes of your time to say thank you. Thanks for stopping by and for leaving me comments even when you know that I almost never respond. In my perfect world, we would all walk in each other's kitchen doors and grab a cup of coffee sit down and chat for hours...you know, like those 1950's housewives. Alas, that is not how it is. I have 10 minutes to publish a half-assed post, you have 2 minutes to read it and comment and we all move on. I love to read each comment that is left, (except from that spammer guy named Adam) thank you for taking the time, it makes me so happy :)

How about a little half-assed giveaway contest?



Cute bag, why is it half-assed?



Because I never plan things out and I don't draft patterns.



Because I sewed one part of the handle fabric insideout (but it doesn't really matter much)



Because I said I would give a lunch bag away but I am up to my arm pits in oilcloth orders, it's the last thing I want to do for fun right now.

Because I love to give failed prototypes away.

Because this is already made and that's easy!
So, if you like this dishtowel grocery bag-style tote (that's what I was shooting for people!), leave me a comment and I will draw names on Saturday morning.
Thanks for reading!

(sorry, I still can't embed links for some reason and I don't have the ambition to look for the problem)
Go check it out, there's all sorts of good coupons there!

After a random drawing......

......performed at my computer this morning, the winners of the somewhat spotted, lovely embroidered market bags are:
Artsy Momma from http://artsymomma.blogspot.com/- wins the meat bag
Sarah from http://alwayswantstobequilting.blogspot.com/- wins the fish bag
I will be in contact with you ladies and I'll mail them right out to you. Actually.... Sarah, I can't find an email for you, you'll have to email me. Hopefully you can work on those spots or perhaps they won't even bother you. I hope you enjoy them!

Did anyone find a zucchini on their front porch today? Well if you did, I might know why:

It's been a while since I posted my fun calendar, mostly because it was buried under a pile of "stuff" near the computer and I just unburied it. Today is National Polka Day but I'm not really feeling it. I am, however, looking forward to Moot Point Day next weekend.
Have a great day!
