Welcome to my stop on the One World One Heart 2010 blog event!
Roll up your magic carpet and have a cup of chai.
I would love to thank Lisa for hosting OWOH for a fourth year. I first hopped on board last year and I had a wonderful time visiting ALL 911 participating blogs.
For those who would like more info, you can find out more about OWOH and its simple goal of global fun and friendship on Lisa's blog, A Whimsical Bohemian
Each blog on the magic carpet route will be hosting a giveaway for some kind of treasure, but you do NOT need to be a participating blogger to enter.
I will be giving away this hand embroidered & embellished original art piece.
The Key to the Future (lies in the past) is a piece I embroidered last autumn. She was the second piece of embroidery I had ever done.
Sadly, she hid in a drawer filled with other stitched pieces, vintage fabrics, and assorted treasures until now.
OWOH seemed like the perfect occasion to bring this wistful sepia-tone maiden out of her confines. The piece is finished with antique Venice lace (scored at a local church basement sale!), vintage doily lace and buttons, aged key, hand-rouched fabrics, and a sweet felted heart. Finished piece measures approx 8x10 inches (20 x 25cm) excluding hanging loops (for dowel or even a cool stick!) and heart. I do hope you like her. She was a joy to stitch up, and I will miss seeing her in my treasure drawer.
My giveaway will begin today, and close February 15th at 12:01am, with the winner(s) names announced later that same day. Giveaway open to everyone worldwide
All you need to do is leave a comment on THIS post. I would love to know where you are visiting from. Please do not forget to leave some kind of contact info in case you are the winner (email, twitter or craftster name will be great, or just let me know that your contact info is on your blog if you are using Blogger).
Winner(s) will have 48 hrs to reply to me using their chosen form of communication. If a reply is not received, a new winner will be chosen. All winners will be selected using Random.org, my favorite random number generator.
Hugs and love to all of my lovely guests on this wonderful magic carpet ride!
Now enjoy your journey along this route of fantastic blogs.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 212 of 212 Newer› Newest»Thanks for visiting my blog. I love your fabulous embroidery!
A sensational piece of Embroidery, I'd love the chance to win it!
With your drawing skills you could be designing Rubber Stamps.
It's always wonderful when you discover something new to try and then love it.
I don't think Spanky would play nice with Gnorm, she's a Diva and wouldn't appreciate the competition in the garden!
I, on the other hand, like making new blogging friends and am not a Diva even though I design better Outfits and have every right to be one :-)
Thank you for visiting me on your magic carpet.
Thank you so much for your generosity and I hope you have a wonderful year blogging with all your new friends including me! I have put you in my google reader so I can keep in touch :-)

She is LOVELY!!!! Oh I simply ADORE that! I am truly so inspired, too - I am bookmarking your site and hopefully jumping back by tomorrow...I love that pattern you have on the other post.
I am just getting into embroidery but love the process...and would love to make something like that!
