One World One Heart 2011 Blog Event

I'm joining in on the One World One Heart Blog event again this year. It's my second year. I had so much fun last year I decided to do it again. You can click on the OWOH image on my right side bar to get more info about the event and see all the great folks that have joined.

My name is Jennifer and I have a passion for felt, specifically eco felt. Eco felt is made from recycled water and pop bottles. I make all kinds of plush dolls and softies. I also make art dolls from felt too. I love anything super cute but also enjoy the odd and slightly twisted too, like zombies, I love zombies. I'm a huge Dr. Who fan. I have a grown up son and a college age daughter, also a cat and my third child is my chihuahua Carmelita.

I made a special fat penguin for this event. As you can see she has a lovely red heart. There is also a smaller heart on her backside.

This penguin is about 9.5 inches tall (25cm) sitting and 11.5 inches tall (29cm) from the feet to the top of the head. A nice hugable size plush. If I get enough entries I'll add some more prizes.

All you have to do is have a blog of your own to enter. Then just comment on THIS post with some way to contact you. Please just leave ONE comment. A winner or winners will be picked on Feb 17th. Thanks so much for joining in on this great event and stopping by to say hi!

My Readers Only Giveaway

I intended to have a giveaway when I reached 110 readers. You know
just to celebrate the fact that people were actually reading my blog
and I wasn't just rambling on to myself. But illness, life and just plain
busy got in the way.

So now I've pulled a little one together. I decided to giveaway my
prototype of my Cupcake Love Plushie, softie, pillow thingy. It's my
design printed on fabric and machine sewn, stuffed and handsewn.
It's about 6" wide and 5.5" high. It's a cute little thing and the
Mermaid is not happy about giving it up.

So all 111 readers of my blog can enter to win if they wish.

Any Cupcake lovers out there?

I'll also throw in some other cupcake items that
will be a surprise.

Just leave a comment and I'll pick a winner on Wednesday

March 3rd.

Another Giveaway I Won

This was supposed to be included with the other giveaway list I did but I somehow lost the picture so it's on it's own today.

I entered a contest about coming up with different and new ideas for the polymer clay penguins that Alissa at Diva Dea makes. I had a long list as I really got into the whole idea as did many other people. But I won!

Then Alissa was kind enough to let me pick either a penguin in her shop or one of my ideas and she'd custom make it for me. You know what I chose, right? A custom Dr. Spock penguin! I'm beginning to think I have a strange obsession with Dr's!

Isn't this amazing! See his little Vulcan ears and the uniform! I was so blown away when I opened the box! He stands on his own and can be hung from the loop on his head too. He's about the size of those plastic easter eggs that you can fill with candy and he's weighted so he won't fall over. I loved this so much I ordered a Red Hat Penguin for my mom for Christmas and it's just as wonderful.

I'll be back to order more cause I want to get the whole crew of the Starship Enterprise!

Alissa does other things besides penguins but they are my favorite. I hope you'll take a minute and check out her shop. Click the link to go to her shop. www.etsy.com/shop/divadea
