I am currently living in Uruguay and craft a lot. I've at least tried everything I've seen involving a needle and thread. I will be moving to Moldova later in the year, and it will be a challenge with one LARGE dog and two cats, especially with nearly two months in the US in the middle. Anyway... on to the goodies:
I will be giving away three temari balls in your choices of color, mine of pattern. There are a lot of temari in prior blog posts so you can see what they are. The drawing will be around nine in the morning URUGUAY time (which is GMT -3 currently) on February 17th. Just leave a comment with a way to be reached to enter!
Your work is beautiful! I am so happy to meet you in this wonderful event. I enjoyed visiting your blog, and I hope you will visit me, too!
ReplyDeleteI haven't sent my link to join yet, kbut have certainly enjoyed visiting your blog from the OWOH list!
