Okay since I had a lot of visits and a few comments on the baby blanket/piping tutorial I thought it would be perfect for giving away a baby blanket! Plus Sew Mama Sew is having a international give away day so I thought I needed to join in!
I made it exactly how the tutorial goes. Its so soft made out of flannel I think it could be a little boy's or girls to be honest since it has some flowers on it. Its about 37"x37" so an adult could use it to as a lap blanket (hey I've done it). Next I guess you might want to know the rules??
Well to be honest I have been in such a music mood lately I'd like to hear your favorite lyric from a song, along with title and artist.
Example: "Tell your boy friend that if he's got beef that I'm a vegetarian and I'm not scared of him" Don't Trust Me by 3Oh3!
You must leave your favorite quote by Midnight on May 31, 2009 Pacific Standard Time.
The winner or winners depending on how this pans out will be picked by BT and myself by reviewing the quote for best one. So be creative in you quotes from music and yes if your the winner we will be downloading the song to make sure the lyric is actually in the song!
Oh and the best part...you can enter up to 3 times so if you cant choose your favorite you have some wiggle room!
The winner/winners items will be shipped by June 3 and YES I will ship internationally!
Good luck and may the best lyric win!
Oh and check back on June 1 for the winner!
Oh and check back on June 1 for the winner!

Favourite quote ? From a song ?
ReplyDeleteIn french (sorry...) :
"La mer comme une préface avant le désert..."
One of my favourite English song : Golden Slumbers - The Beatles :
ReplyDelete"Sleep pretty darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby"
Love to sing it to my baby...
And since I'm allowed to post 3 quotes, here's the third one, by Harry Belafonte in Man Piaba :
ReplyDelete"And the confusion made the brain go 'round"
Whenever my husband gets frustrated with me, he starts singing the song "Someday, when things are good, I'm gonna leave you." He thinks it's hilarious. It's a running joke now. I respond with "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" Wow, once I wrote that down I feel really disfunctional. 13 happy years together!

Lastly "Build me, Buttercup baby, just to let me down. And mess me around and then worst of all, you never call baby when you say you will. And I love you still, I need you. More than anyone darling, you know that I have from the start. Oh oh oh, so build me up. buttercup, don't break my heart"

Just about anything by Weezer. Those Weezer lyrics will be stuck inside my head until I die.

in all truth. you have to read all the lyrics to this song but I'll grant you just a snippet:
ReplyDelete"Give a little time for the child within you,
don’t be afraid to be young and free.
Undo the locks and throw away the keys
and take off your shoes and socks, and run you.
La, la, la..."
the song goes on like that, it's just the sweetest, cutest song you'll ever hear.

"Despite everything I refuse to quit." It's a lyric that has inspired me for the last 4 years that I plan to get a tattoo of. The best part, of course, is that I didn't know at the time that my future husband was the person that wrote the lyric in his band Barricade.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what I'm struggling with, it reminds me to keep pushing myself, that I know I can finish whatever it is (a quilt, a project at work, a load of dishes, etc.)
My current favorite is one that I can't get out of my head: "I kissed a girl and I liked it". Not because it inspired me to kiss a girl, but it reminds me of how far we have come for accepting our differences. Yes, we still have far to go, but it's progress.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a lovely blanket!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I often have the song from Shrek in my mind, the one at the end that Donkey and Puss in boots sing: La Vida Loca. And my life's crazy, so very appropriate.
Beautiful blanket!
