Hellooooooooooooooooooo and welcome to Mid-Month Madness!
So this month, in the celebration of Love, I wanted to celebrate my love of stitching. I still remember the first cross stitch project I made and how proud I was of that completed project. I stitched all the time and made gifts for family and friends.
My stitching love has evolved over the years, but the basic love of needle and thread will always be there. I decided I wanted to create a project and put together a kit to inspire others to start stitching. Have you always wanted to try? Do you have a special young person in your life that you would love to share your stitching passion with?
Well, this is my Starter Stitching Kit. It has everything you need to make this heart hanger. Make it to hang on a door knob. Make it as an ornament. Make it just because it's fun!
I have twelve kits available in my SHOP. But wait! I know some of you already stitch and don't need a kit, but might enjoy the pattern. Well, let's see. How about, any order placed in my shop over $10 until next Friday, February 22, will receive this heart pattern for FREE! Yep, free.
What's that? You don't sew, you don't know anyone that makes things? You pretty much show up here because the bunnies are cute, I'm crazy mad and you just can't help yourself? hee,hee,hee. Well, ok. How about a giveaway? Let's give away my original hanging heart!
To enter the giveaway, simply do the following:
1. Leave a comment on this post = one chance
2. Leave a comment on this post and be an official follower (signed up under followers on the side bar) = two chances.
3. Leave a comment on this post, be an official follower and Like my FB page = 3 chances!
You don't need to leave separate comments. Doing everything in one comment is swell. The bunnies will use the random number generator to pick the winner next Wednesday, the 20th.
Ok, so now onto some madness and a little Hoppy Friday.
Every morning, unless it's raining, I go for a 30 minute walk. I talk to myself. I look at the sky. I plan my day. I enjoy the air. I make random comments to various wildlife I pass along the way. I smile and wave to neighbors and school kids on their way to start their days.
Well....I am not one for cold weather. I'm downright freezing until it hits 90 degrees! Plus I am, after all, a crazy bunny lady. When I found this winter hat, I knew it was perfect for my morning walks!
Oh yeah...David refuses to walk with me and the neighbors totally think I'm a nut job. The first day was the most fun freaking them all out. I laughed so hard at their faces. Men were the funniest. Several neighbors laughed and waived big. I knew I just started their day out on a happy note. Mission accomplished! It's really fun being mad. :)
Then I got to thinking that Louise really is my doppelganger. My friend, Lydia, say's I look just like her if I am forced to try on a dress. Add a pair of black socks and yep...doppelganger for sure. Thus the reason I don't do dresses. What do you think?
Hoppy Friday! Hoppy Mid-Month Madness and as always, your friendship is a treasured gift to me and the bunnies.
We'll see you next Wednesday. Monday we have a few things to do like drive 2 hours with Lydia to go fun food shopping at Whole Foods and Trader Joes. Country come to town! Woo hoo!
xx,
Michelle, Harrington and Hannah

Love your blog - love the ornament - would love to give it a whirl. Happy Valentines Day!

You are too cute! Love the hat! I have to tell you a story relating to the fact your hubs won't walk with you when you wear that bunny hat! Cute heart hanging!!
Love the hat! Such light fun! Made me smile too. I am also a follower for a while- although I stitch- the items would be well used, loved, or shared with a friend! Great post.

I love the hats :) I love to follow your blog too! thanks!
How about a BOM that shows the monthly exploits of the "Bunny Hat Lady". Love the hat and love the heart.
I follow you here (google and email) and on FB..... Love that you Love the hat!
Way down here at the bottom I am going to try to get BL to buy a kit for one of the kids ... we'll see.
BL goes for her walk almost every day too, but I'll not get her to wear the hat! She is too conservative!
We get to go to Trader Joes and Whole Foods now and again too - they are both 3/4 to 1 hr away. But I always like what other people buy there and bring us than what we are able to find there! I guess we are too conservative!
Love the heart! I'm a follower, via Google reader!
Hi Shell,
You are so sweet and love the photos of you wearing your cute hat.
I go for a 30 minute walk in the morning and shall think of you when I am out and about.
Love the sweet heart.
Wishing you a happy weekend
hugs to you, Harrington and Hannah

I love the bunny hat and your heart pattern is so pretty. I noticed that you take a walk every morning, that is something I must start doing again.
Me gusta el fieltro y también tus diseños. Quizás yo tenga suerte y me gane tu lindo obsequio. Gracias, Yasmin
