Give Away!

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!

  8. Its not the best song lyric, but for some reason it plays over and over in my head as I charge thru my mommy -days. I swear, everytime I see a toddler with an open sharpie marker heading one direction and my PDDNOS son about to make is own pancakes in the other direction, I go into full emergency mothering mode and I hear in my head "Yo, you got a problem, I'll solve it. Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it!"

  32. 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!

  66. in all truth. you have to read all the lyrics to this song but I'll grant you just a snippet:

    "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.

  70. "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.

    No 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.)

  71. 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.
