Happy Blogiversary to me!

Hello everyone! Today I have been blogging for five years, can you believe it? Gee whiz, aren't you sick of me and my shenanigans by now? (I sure hope not!) Anywho, in honor of my half-decade of chronicling my crafts, I want to give away a custom owl pincushion!

(My first owl pincushions ever!)

The owl pincushion was the thing that inspired me to start blogging, crafting more, and selling on etsy, so I thought it would be nice to give one all this time later. I have some on my unfinished projects list, so this will just have to be lumped in there with those. That doesn't count, right (shhh!)? If you win, we will work out what fabrics you like and I will make a special owl for you complete with custom pins. To enter, just leave a comment in this post any time between now and Monday, August 2nd at 8 p.m PST. Good luck everyone, and thank you all so much for reading this thing!


*If you would like to sign up for the Finish It challenge, you can e-mail me at ohthecuteness@hotmail.com or go to this post and leave a comment, and be sure to read all the rules. Be sure to include a link to your blog if you have one, and go join the flickr group here. The list of participants and links to their own unfinished objects is here. And my ongoing list can be found here.

  2. Squee! Happy blogiversary! Your blog was the one that inspired me to re-uptake amigurumi, the amineko cat to be precise. :)

    So I am noticing none of your followers are up to the task....I think I may have to join the challenge....Of course that means I will have to get a flicker account which is more daunting than finishing the projects. I will feel as though I am cheating because I only have three or four unfinished projects since I have been reining in my impulse to overextend myself for some time.
    One more note on your last blog...If you made some part of another project which was finished...like say "piping"...and had some left over and thought of a project you could use that for....does that constitute a started project?

  10. @Sissy - Lol, I have about ten people participating now (I have to go add one more to the list), ad it would be great to have you join! And starting a flickr is easy and it is free, I bet you will like it. And as far as the piping goes, you could count that as a started project for sure, the rules are bendable to suit everyone's needs!

    @Chase - Oh yeah! And weren't you one of the winners from last year too? What fun!

    @Everyone else - thanks so much for celebrating with me!
