You might remember her Shark ipod cozy from her first store ChrisandYaya 

I am so happy to have one of her beautiful little rose bud earrings to give away and you will too.  These are all handmade and so pretty. Whenever I wear mine I get stopped by cashiers and people in stores who ask me where I got them…seriously! You can choose from any of the rosebud earrings in her shop, go visit and see her at thecloverdilly.etsy.com

Here she is, meet Alex.

Blogiversary Blogger Guest- Kris from Resweater and a wool sweater giveaway

By on April 2, 2011 in CCM Guests, giveaways, Happy Blogiversary, Refashion

Day six of year three

Are you having fun yet?  I hope you have been able to be part of every post and giveaway this week, if not go back and check out the past five days of awesome guests and giveaways.  You can enter each giveaway many times just check out the rules at the bottom of any of the posts and you the winner in each giveaway will be announced on Wednesday!

I met todays guest in a yahoo group.  She is a super creative, out of the box thinker and has come up with a business which I just love.  She owns a blog and online store at Artfire called Resweater.  What is Resweater, you say?  Resweater is Kris’ blog where she posts loads of wool and wool blend sweaters for sale every Sunday and gives lots of ideas on how to use them.  Too cool!!  She has lots of giveaways (I actually won one a while back) and new ideas all the time.  I love her “what I am working on Wednesday” posts. Check out her blog yourself here, it will become a fave.

 you can find a new stash like this one every Sunday
dryer balls
 here’s a cute monster pillow she made for her son
and she finds other bloggers who reuse wool around the web
 what would you make from this wool sweater?
how about these really warm and cozy baby shoes

As part of my blogiversary celebration she is giving one lucky winner their choice of wool sweater from her shop here.  Wanna meet her, here you go with a little Q&A:

My favorite blogs are: There are way too many to pick favorites, but here are a couple I enjoy:

http://24-7-365.blogspot.com/ because it is funny & amusing, and real.

http://sewingdork.blogspot.com/, because I love seeing her creations, and reading her funny posts, and she is such a lovely person.

My favorite color is: orange. Oddly enough it was blue my whole life, until I had my son. His favorite color is orange & he converted me.

My first job was: delivering newspapers. I was a little girl, and would hand deliver the papers before school every morning.

My favorite guilty pleasure is: Gummy bears!

The best advice I ever received is: God helps those who help themselves.

I am inspired by: My son, nature, creative people.

If I have an afternoon off I like to: Hmmm… I never have an afternoon off, but I think I would try to nap.

Think quick, if there was a fire and you could only grab three things (not people) what would they be: My antique Singer Featherweight sewing machine, my laptop, and my camera.


As Kris would say, Reuse, Recycle, Resweater!
