The Contest

***THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED!!!***

Christmas
is getting closer and closer by the day. I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving already! With Christmas coming, I've been spending a lot of time in the craft room/man cave. Yes, I share my sewing space with a man cave. I am holding my first ever contest, so listen up!


The contest will be for Your Choice of 1 of 2 lots of handmade items.


The First Lot:

First you will get a pair of fuzzy arm warmers, in a neutral color. Next, you will get a matching handmade stuffed snake! These gifts are suitable for kids ages 5 & up, and would make a fun little stocking stuffer or gift under the tree.

Isn't he cute?
I used a fleece section for the belly, and added fleece ruffles to the edges, similar to an eel. His tail is fleece wrapped around the end section of material, and has bells in it, so he is a "rattle" snake. The matching arm warmers were made from the same black & white knit material, with side ruffles made from the same light green fleece. These stretch to fit an adult, but also shrink back down to fit a child. This is the set available for the prize.
Or....

The Second Lot:
First you will get a pair of fuzzy arm warmers, in a neutral color. Next, you will get a homemade stocking cap, made to fit your head measurements!
Both gifts are suitable for children or adults alike! Because the hat will be made to size, I do not have photos available. I will try to match the arm warmers to the color of the hat. If the winner picks this lot, I will email with a selection of colors I have available for the fleece hat.


In addition to the lot you choose, the winner will receive a surprise gift!
