Give It Away Now

*Closed*

If you can make it through this post,  you'll be rewarded with a giveaway.  This is like a blog obstacle course of randomness.

First up, look at this crazy beetle.  


 The photo doesn't do justice to the size of this thing.  It was huge.  J found it at work.  He scooped it up in a plastic cup and covered the top with a napkin and rubber band.  His work commute takes an hour.   During the car ride home, the beetle ATE THROUGH THE NAPKIN AND ESCAPED.  That's like my worst nightmare-- having a killer beetle loose in the car with me when I'm unable to pull over.  Anyway, he put it in the cup holder and closed the lid (lucky there was a lid) and was totally excited to show it to me when he got home.  J, I love you, but I don't share your excitement for big scary beetles.

Moving on.  So I'm on summer break.  Hands down the biggest perk of being a teacher.  I've actually been off for two weeks now and I've done nothing.  Absolutely nothing.  I spent the first week of summer growing moss on the couch watching HBO on demand.  I only took breaks to go outside and water things.  What is it about too much free time?  I've turned in to a sloth.  I think I do better when I'm really busy.   I know, I know.  You can roll your eyes at me.


I've been better this week, though.  I am taking an oil painting class in the afternoons.  It's been a few years since I've taken any sort of art class.  I am really enjoying it and soaking it all in.  I think I may even be motivated to begin a painting that's been in my head for awhile...

Speaking of sloths, have you seen this baby sloth video? 



There are actually several clips of those baby sloths doing different things from an Animal Planet TV show.  They may just be the cutest baby animal ever.  I'll fight whoever disagrees.   I am seriously contemplating saving money to go to Costa Rica just so I can go that sloth sanctuary.  Watching baby sloth videos is another byproduct of too much free time.

And finally, the end.  You've made it to the reward.  It wasn't all that random, was it?  I thought I did a pretty good job of linking it all up. 

My friends, I am an idiot.

I hurried off to Hobby Lobby the other day for their Simplicity pattern sale to buy 1880 for Sunni's sewalong.   I bought another pattern, too.  Only I came home and discovered that I already bought both patterns a month ago.  So I want to give them away, both as a single prize.  They are both the upper size range, 12-20 I believe, uncut and in factory folds.  I didn't want them to be unused and unloved.


No rules to this giveaway.  Just sharing the love.  Actually, I hope someone wants them.  I'll feel silly if no one is interested.  I've never done a giveaway before yet I've really enjoyed winning other people's giveaways.  I shouldn't be so selfish.   Leave me a comment with your email address if it's not already attached to your profile.  I'll randomly pick a winner on Sunday, June 24th and email the winner for her address.  I'll mail it as soon as possible in case the winner would like to keep up with the sewalong.   I'll send it anywhere in the world.

And if you can tell me a baby animal that's cuter than a baby sloth, I'll throw in something really spectacular.  Something truly extraordinary.  Something that will make you the envy of the neighborhood.

Wait for it......


You're very own scary beetle!
Hopefully it won't eat through the envelope.


Just kidding. 
We set it free in case you were wondering.

  2. I'd love to have those patterns. The beetle you can keep. ;-) Cuter than a baby sloth ... the old standby puppies!!!

  3. OOoh, oooh, I'd want them! I've been wishing I was organised enough to sew along with Sunni, but just haven't bought the pattern yet. Thanks! :)

  4. I want to win! I love both of theses patterns, and I have the perfect fabric in my stash :)

  5. I've been looking at that pattern since the sew along began. I like the other one also. I have to agree with Debbie; puppies are the cutest. No bugs please.

  6. That is one scary looking beetle. I've been procrastinating on whether to join the sewalong - i did Sunni's trouser sewalong and that was so useful.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I would love to be entered for the giveaway. Thank you for being so generous.

    Puppies absolutely are cuter. Sorry.

    Did you ever see the Ellen episode with Kristen Bell? She loves sloths too. This is so funny. Enjoy.

  8. Kristen Bell freaking out over sloths was so cute! And as long as you are growing moss, you should definitely check it out:) I love those patterns and I'm in desperate need to make something grown up. I hope you enjoy your lovely summer vacation!

  9. Sorry, baby koala beats any sloth hands down for cuteness, and if sloth did not already have dibs on the name, slothfullness (in the day time). I am parochial, I admit.
    I have a precious morning off work and am reading blogs instead of sewing.What is it with totally free time?
    I would love those patterns, which might inspire anti-slothful sewing at my house. Unfortunately, should a parcel be sent here, the beetle might cause a riot at pest control. ;) and wouldn't it eat the patterns, being fond of paper napkins?

  10. Baby red pandas, o' course. Check it out: http://tinyurl.com/chp3678. Seriously, they don't even look real they're so cute. Thanks for the pattern giveaway! I was too lazy to drive out to JoAnn for the Simplicity sale and I'm too lazy to Google search for other Simplicity sales (though I'm not too lazy to Google search red pandas and comment about red pandas on this blog post). Therefore, this giveaway is perfect timing for me!

    Enjoy your summer off. Lucky. ;)

  12. wolf pups are the cutest in my opinion!

    I have been so eyeing that shirtdress pattern, too :)

  13. Love the bug! And love the patterns! We had a lizard once and it was pretty cute in a scaly kind of way.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm very interested in your oils class. I hope you share with us what you create. I love seeing people's artistic creations. I quite like the look of the patterns too so count me in. Keep enjoying your holidays. I'm now one work day away from our semester break - two weeks off. Woohoo!

    ReplyDelete
  15. ZOMG CUTE!!!! Possibly cuter than baby musk-ox, which is saying something.

    Someday when I have money and leisure I want to take oil-painting. I was given a set once but was too terrified to do much with them (although I love the look and the one painting I did manage turned out fairly nice), I figure a class would be perfect to get me comfortable with the technique. Someday. :)

    Love the 1803 pattern, I'll put in for that. Someday (also when I have leisure) I'll do an actual giveaway. I promise.

    And I will try not to die of jealousy that you have the summer off. I'm going to be lucky if I see the sun this summer...

    ReplyDelete
  16. Looks like you doin't have to worry about noone entering but I've got to worry about my chances ;-)
    A good shirtdress is always good to have. I was unaware of the sewalong but that might be fun.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I'd love to win those patterns! The bug is pretty cool as well, don't put him in the envelop though, he might get squashed...
    Oh, and about those baby animals, I am kind of in love with baby owls at the moment

    Enjoy your holidays!

  18. I'm totes in. I'm excited for you and your summer break. We have winter school holidays in Australia in one week and I'm dying for the break. I have so many sewing plans, but with only a two week break, I won't have the time to sloth around on the lounge. I'm insanly jealous of your warm weather!! These patterns will def come in handy for my next break.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'd love either of those patterns so I'm in - as for the baby sloths, you're right, nothing cuter. I saw a couple in the wild in Costa Rica a few years back and they definitely got a big fat 'oooohhhh so sweeeet' from me!
    hbennett28@gmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  20. Aw how kind are you. Well I would love the patterns as am actually following sunni's blog to gain experience and actually mentioned I won't be participating since I don't have the pattern. Am going to click my sparkly pink slippers and close my eyes tight.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I have had both of these patterns on my wish list for a while but I am currently on a pattern buying ban until I decide on a length and hem a dress than has been hanging up in a kind of sewing limbo in my bedroom. So in short I would LOVE to have either pattern! Hanna (hannaekb@hotmail.com) - p.s. kittens, need I say more?!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love both of these patterns but especially the shirt dress and I share your forgetfulness... I bought Sew Today magazine for the pattern and got home only to realise I had bought it earlier in the month, oops. Maybe I will pass on the pattern love too (when I finally get back to blogging).

    I have a couple of baby guinea pigs who are particularly cute (and only a little bitey).

    ReplyDelete
  23. Haha the reason for your give-away totally reminds me of my grandmother! She used to go (sale)shopping all the time, and one time when se came home she waas so proud to have bought some beautifull shoes on a gigantic discount. My grandfather said that they looked like some shoes she had bought a couple of weeks before that, and it turned out it were the same. When we remember my grandparents in our family it's onne of our favourite stories to tell.

    Anyway, I would love to win those patterns! I looked at the sewalong for the shirt/wrap dress but here in the Netherlands the patterns are really expensive and I'm a bit on a budget this month.

    Oh and my favourite baby-animals are donkeys. But I guess that's mostly because they still are when they grow up :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. My hubbie and I would love to visit the sloth sanctuary in Costa Rica. He loves them so much.

    What a fab giveaway! Those patterns have been on my to-buy list for a while now.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Hi I'd love the patterns, more nice dresses to wear in rainy Ireland! (with tights I think again this 'summer'!! Sloth studying is an interesting hobby - new to me. Must mean you need to wind down after school ended. Puppies are a cute baby animal but I think all baby animals are cute!

  26. I'm not scared of your beetle, I've got several in my yard away bigger than that. And a foot long stick insect. I'd love to win your giveaway, those patterns are cute enough to buy twice. I never check the email address in my profile, so if I.m so lucky please email me mae dot Wilson at yahoo dot com dot au

    ReplyDelete
  27. Conveniently, that beetle could probably fit in the upper size range of simplicity patterns...

    ReplyDelete
  28. I've always liked giraffe babies (all that awkward learning about what to do with long legs!) but I'll concede that the baby sloth is super cute! Thanks for the giveaway - I love the patterns!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'd love to win those patterns. My girls are finally old enough to play by themselves consistently this year and I've planned to do some major sewing this summer while I'm on break!

  30. I hope you show your paintings here! I tried oil painting once, it was far more difficult than I thought... but it was fun. Those patterns are cute, I think too cute for the likes of me, so please don't count me in for the giveaway, thanks :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'd love a go at the patterns. I'm on mid semester break so maybe I'll even get to do the sew along and have a new dress for summer - who am I kidding here in winter I can wear it with a cardi and tights! sofiem@internode.on.net
    Oh hope you never run into the rhinoceros beetle - about 6-8cm long, black and a big rhino horn on the front. Added bonus is they hiss when you go near them!

  32. My son thinks the beetle is cute :/

  33. I'd love a chance to win those patterns, thank you for the opportunity...scruffybadgertime@gmail.com
    Cute baby animals? Gotta be elephants.....

  34. I'd love the patterns.

    I would not love the beetle....although I did catch a preying mantis in my yard once. Now those are creepy - they can turn their heads and look at you!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. If my husband brought something like that home, I think I'd be tempted to squash them both!

    I've been eyeing both of those patterns and would love to be entered in the giveaway. Thanks! l.albee at comast dot net

    ReplyDelete
  36. I wouldn't be impressed with the beetle either.

    I am a beginner who is just building her sewing stash and would love those patterns.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Baby lambs are high up there on my adorable-meter. Please save me the hassle of having to go & buy these patterns! I want to do the SAL, but I can't bring myself to schlep over to JoAnn or Hobby Lobby.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Would love the patterns, been reading the sewalong for 1880 and there seems to be a lot of blog action for the other pattern at the moment too.
    My youngest says the cutest baby animal has to be a bunny!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Ick, I can't think of anything cute with the image of that beetle in my mind. I've been waiting for a pattern sale at my local shop -- hasn't happened yet, thanks for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Thank you for the chance to win the patterns! I'd have to gift 1880 onwards as I've already snaffled a copy for the sewalong! I'm terrified of a beetle that can break out of its cup transporter...

    ReplyDelete
  41. My favorite baby animals are lambs -- we used to go to the Ag school every February and almost always got to see at least one lamb born. Amazing!!

    I'd also love the patterns!

    ReplyDelete
  42. i'd love the patterns, and wouldn't even mind the beetle! it's gorgeous.

    as for baby animals, this one is rather personal but my cat was EXTREMELY cute as a kitten. he was just one big ball of black and white fluff with massive green eyes.

    my e-mail is on my own blog: http://annetsplayground.blogspot.com

    ReplyDelete
  43. Yay - I would love to win these patterns! Also, I'm a huge fan of sloths (especially babies)...they're pretty much my favorite animal. :)

  44. I would love to win on of those patterns! Hmmm baby animal....panda!

  45. Great giveaway! I find just about most baby animals cute, but kittens, puppies and ferrets come in the top 5 :)

  47. Hey! Look at all these people who are interested! I definitely would sew those dresses. Perfect for Sundays and they are modest. Bonus!


    I would have gladly taken the beetle . . .

  48. I love the baby sloths. There was a whole hour long show on Animal Planet about the Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica. The patterns are great too. I love the Project Runway line and I don't have either of these!

  53. I'm also having a giveaway on my blog at the moment, and I'm feeling kind of stupid, because there's only one comment so far, and it ends on Monday.... Anyway, I'd like to be in your giveaway, and if you want to, you can be in mine.... :)

    BTW, ALL baby animals are cute, even snakes and alligators, that's the best thing about baby animals!

  54. I love the patterns and would love to join the sew-a-long.

    That said, I would have to pull the car over if that thing ate through a napkin. Oh heavens.

  56. Oh my word, those dresses are too cute! all the dresses are just... wow.
    I've never sewn a dress before and I think this would be a great dress to start with, also it would be great opportunity to do a sew along! :)

    garyunyoung@hotmail.co.nz

    P.s ..so you think slots are cute... wait till you see BABY PANDAS! wahhh my body goes in cuteness overload just thinking about them. <3
    Thanks for the give away!

    ReplyDelete
  57. That beetle is awesome, as long as it stays far away from me! Would be psyched to have the patterns, I've been following the sewalong every day. thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Now I'm wondering if the beetle itself is actually a baby and in a couple of days you're going to get a visit from a very pissed off mommy beetle, the size of a St. Bernard, wondering why you kidnapped her child. She might be wearing a cardigan and a string of pearls.

    Anyway! I'd love to have the patterns. You are so sweet to pass them along! I'm at dora at dorawrites.com. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  59. I keep seeing cute versions of 1803, and as the sew-along progresses I know I'm going to see awesome versions of 1880. I'm starting to feel like the only person in the world who doesn't have either of these patterns, so I'm glad you're sharing the love.

  60. Oh those sloths are so CUTE!!! I'd love to be entered into the giveaway but I already have the sewalong one - I'd love the 1803 though if you wanted to split the love! toboldlysew at hotmail dot co dot uk

    ReplyDelete
  61. Those patterns are amazing! And I'm partial to baby elephants myself. Just saw a video of one this morning jumping on a trampoline and I about died of cuteness overload.

    ReplyDelete
  62. There is noting cuter than a baby sloth. Baby anteaters come close, though. Please include me in the draw - both of these would be great make up some drapey wool I have in the stash to bump up my quota of toasty warm dresses because it's flipping freezing down here in Oz right now.

    And I think the scarab beetle is beautiful. I like it on warm days when they are flying around like small chubby helicopters. Does that make me ineligible for the giveaway?!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Love those patterns and would love to make them up! I'm terrified of giant bugs too. How do you go outside knowing that thing is out there?? :)

  70. Urgh, I live in perpetual fear of finding New Zealand's huge bug - it's called a weta and it's the vilest creation on this earth. I kid you not. I'll take a baby sloth of a weta any day! Please count me in on the giveaway! Tragically, I'm giving one away now and to my shame no-one seems interested!

    ReplyDelete
  71. The beetle story is certainly interesting and funny!! I had no idea what sloths really are until I read your post ! Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  72. Oh, what a beetle! I think I might have run! Please count me in for the giveaway, it's so hard getting Simplicity patterns here in NZ and I so wanted to take part in the sew-a-long...

    ReplyDelete
  73. I'd like that pattern, i've been reading sunni's sewalong but not participating, the more i read the more I want to make that pattern! so thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  74. How about a baby koala? Check out http://animalswallpaper.info/wallpaper/cute-baby-koala-wallpaper/ :-)
    I'd love to win these patterns, although I did check first I didn't have either of them! I did find others I'd forgotten about...

    ReplyDelete
  75. Wow lovely giveaway.
    It's not idiotic to buy two patterns! Just shows your taste hasn't changed since you last bought them but perhaps also that you have a few projects stacking up that you haven't looked at for a while :-)
    I'd love either of these patterns!
    Also micro pigs are awesome, I think that's what Marchelle might be writing about.

    Cinders the pig is pretty cute for a regular pig though...

  76. I was here because I wanted to see what the beetle was about on Sunni's blog.
    Then I had a slight freakout because a moth flew into my face and I thought it was a beetle..

    Not that I'm afraid, I just dislike bugs in my face. Although if he can eat through things... I'd rather he not be near me, thank you.

    What a fantastic giveaway, though! Other than the sewalong pattern, I've been eyeing up the 1803 for a while now!
