Issue #2 has my interview (along with bunches of good stuff) and issue #4 has my project: The Lady Bug Tape Measure and Leaf Scissor Case! Both can be made with any kind of felt. The lady bug has a retractable tape measure sewn inside. To extend the tape you pull on the antennae. It's ok, it doesn't hurt her. Plus I think she likes it.The leaf scissor case is pretty self explanatory. Yep. Me even saying that is not necessary, and yet I go on stating the obvious. Moving right along...
The Give-away rules: This is for issue #2 & #4 of Sew Hip magazine. Due to shipping costs, this is only open to you in the USA. Leave a comment on this post by midnight EST, Thursday Feb 5th 2009. I will randomly choose a name on Friday 2/6/09 and email you to get your address. (make sure I can track down your email either through your comment, your blog, etc)Thank you to Sew Hip Magazine and good luck you commenters! :)

Hey Betz,
Just trying to make it throught another long montana weekend, with three boys in the house and the whole rest of the world covered in a sheet of ice. Am finishing up the rustic throw for my brother's b day this week, it is turning out really nice, very cozy too.
I really like your heart scarf, was thinking of using another motif though, for more year round appeal. Hope you had a resful weekend and less ice than here. Here's to small children surviving winter!!! Mariah

99 comments....that's alot of competition...Oh, well I'm throwing my name in the hat. Thanks for such a nice giveaway. What a great way to brighten the Winter Blues.
I purchased the first issue and have been very interested in checking out subsequent Sew Hip magazines. Thanks for the opportunity!
I'm having so much fun checking out your blog, daily! I'm finding so much inspiration!!!
I have been wanting to get a look at this magazine! I'm hoping one of the big book stores will have it.
My friend,
I think one of the greatest gifts we can give each other is inspiration. I have students who ask to buy the little crafty items I make all the time...what I would rather do is teach and inspire.
I have been blogging lately and have never been more consistently inspired. Betz, your blog is at the top of my list. For that I feel connected and I say thank you, from the bottom of my fuzzy felted heart.
That said, consider this my entry into a great contest I am really excited about...here's to winning!
