I’m joining with hundreds of other blogs and participating in the Sew Mama Sew Give-Away Day. My give-away is this totally hand-sewn pin cushion. It’s vital statistics are: sides 3″; point to point 5.5″; side to side 4.5″. The fabric is from the Portobello Market range by Moda. Here are some photos of the front and the back.

What do you have to do to win it?
I’m not a fan of the random number generator. I’m probably biased because it never picks my number when I enter give-aways. Anyway I’ve decided I prefer human intervention. So I’ve picked a number between 1 and 100. All you have to do is to guess what it is. This give-away is open to international visitors as well as Aussies. In the event that no one guesses it then the closest person to the number will win. In the event that more than one person picks the correct number or is closest to it then those names will be put in a bag and the winner will be drawn by my trusty DH. Any questions? [Edit: Ooops! Forgot to say that entries are open until December 17th US time. So I’ll close the give-away around 4pm on December 18th Sydney time]

47. I love 47 NO ONE BETTER HAVE PICKED IT though I’m not going to check lol.
47 is an uplifting number full of promise and a little bit of whimsy with it’s unevenness hinting at a slight disposition for spontaneity. Let 47 be your number of the year and inspire you to take hold of all that life with it’s surprises will bring you in the new year!
Oh my goodness That’s my bit of prose since I liked your post on honeysuckle pink teehee :DD I am ridiculous!
Thanks for bringing a smile to face. 🙂

Eeek, I’m guessing someone will already have picked most of the numbers. I’m going to go with 78, it was a good year 😉 I wanted to type 27 initially but I imagine someone else has already picked it (though 78 has probably been said too!) Merry Christmas, good luck with choosing your winner!
17 is a good number for us, so that’s my pick!
29.
