Giveaway with Miss Mommy

**GIVEAWAY CLOSED**

I'm so excited to bring you this giveaway today!


I met Nicole awhile ago when she contacted me to make some crayon rolls for her two beautiful daughters. I learned that she lives in Australia, blogs at Miss Mommy, and has a sweet etsy shop where she makes amazing jewelry. After getting to know eachother and sending several messages back and forth, we decided to do a swap giveaway on our blogs! Nicole was nice enough to send me a triple wrap leather bracelet and a matching ring to review.





My sister happened to be at my house when the lovely package arrived and fell in love with the set. She put it on immediately and I didn't even notice that she ended up leaving my house with it! Well I finally got it back to snap a few pictures! (However, she insisted it go in her stocking this year!)



I don't think I'll be able to part with them. I'm kind of in love!

Nicole has so many different kinds of bracelets, necklaces, broaches and rings in her shop. These are just a few of my favorites.




Nicole has graciously agreed to offer one lucky Pink Stitches reader $25 credit to her lovely shop! What do you have to do to enter:

Christmas Pillows

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmaaaaaas!

I put up my tree and decorations awhile back but haven't really posted anything about it yet. I thought I'd share a few Christmas pillows I made for my living room.



I made this one with a bunch of red and green scraps that I had. I just made a bunch of HST's and came up with this little guy.



For this one, I just made a simple star block & sashed it with some Kona Snow.



And my personal faaaavorite! I'm so in love with this bow pillow. The red fabric is a rich, dark linen that gives it a beautiful rustic look.







I bought some dark green linen with the intention of making a matching set but never quite got around to it. I might eventually end up making one but for now, my to do list is impossibly long.

I'm getting together with an old friend tonight and I'm so excited to spend some time with her. She recently got engaged and I just looove talking about wedding preparations! Looking forward to a relaxing evening. Have a great day!

Kindle Cases

I've listed some new kindle/nook cases in the shop!









They are all quilted in straight lines and padded with a snuggly layer batting. There is still plenty of time to order for Christmas!

Hope you've been enjoying your weekend so far. I've been a busy bee! I'm getting ready for a few upcoming giveaways for you so stay tuned!

My Thankful Giveaway Winner

Hello! Thanks to everyone who participated in my Thanksgiving giveaway!! And a very special thanks to Amy for offering the gorgeous fabric bundle!

I asked you what you were most thankful for this year and I really enjoyed reading through all of your responses. Most of you mentioned your health, your family's health & your children. A few of you said being back home for the holidays and upcoming fabric releases, which I totally agree with!

I also learned something new! Some of you said you were thankful for your DH and I had no idea what that meant. I let it slide the first time I saw it but then it kept popping up again. So I googled it and apparently, it means "Dear Husband". Good answer!! I'm also VERY thankful for my DH.

Anywho, let's get to the good stuff! The winner of a Ruby 1/2 yard fabric bundle is...


Commentor #69. Congratulations Anita of The Other Side Of Me!

I'll be sending you an email soon for your mailing info.

Didn't win but still want to get your hands on some Ruby?? Amy has a huge variety of fabric, twill tape & patterns at Pinked Fabrics!
