Sew Mama Sew Give Away day!

WINNER ANNOUNCED AT THE END OF THIS POST!

Hi!
I want to welcome anyone who is visiting my blog from Sew Mama Sew's Give Away Day.
Let me introduce myself briefly. I am a busy mum and wife; I work part-time as admin and project officer and spend the rest of my time at home with my 2.5 year old boy and my husband. In the mean time, I am trying to develop the small jewellery business which I started a couple of months ago. I  love handmade, I love making things whenever I have a chance after work and as long as my son lets me :) If you are new to my blog, I hope you take a minute to have a look around. I hope you enjoy what you see.
As part of Sew Mama Sew's Give Away Day, I will be giving away a pair beautifully hand-made earrings from my small jewellery business.
These earrings were hand-made in Turkey with a traditional Turkish lacing technique called "igne oyasi/ needle (oya) lace".
Those tiny triangles that form the bigger triangles are individual knots tied next to each other. These knots, then, create lines; and line by line you create the pattern. This lacing technique is used to make table covers, embellish head scarves, blouses and many more clothing and home decor items. The things you can do/make with this technique is almost limitless!
These earrings measure 2.5 inches between the widest points.

Entires are accepted today until December 12 at 5pm PST/ December 13 at 12pm AEST if you are from Australia and New Zealand. International entrees are welcome too.
There are two ways to enter:
- You can enter by leaving two comments to this post:
1) What quilting/sewing item would you like to receive as a Christmas gift this year?
2) By following me on Bloglovin' and letting me know here. ( This is optional; you don't need to follow me to join the give away. Of course, I would love to see you as a follower.)
- You can also enter by commenting on my Facebook giveaway post.
I will combine all the comments and let the random number generator choose a winner. I will announce the winner as an update to this post on Sunday, 14 December.

Good luck and please visit the other links to increase your chance to win something!
UPDATE: GIVEAWAY WINNER!!
Random Number Generator picked number 29, Michelle Smith. Michelle commented on my Facebook post as well and that's how she became number 29. Congratulations Michelle! I will contact you today.

A late Monday Makers! #13 and a Blog anniversary give away

(Please read the update added on Saturday, 22 November at the end of the post. Thank you!)
I am so happy to say that my busy days at work have almost finished. I was in Adelaide yesterday for a meeting. It was only a day trip so it was a little rushed and compressed. By the time I got home, it was almost ten o'clock at night. After a quick change into pyjamas and a cuddle with my boy, I left myself into the soft arms of my bed. I am back at work tomorrow and all I need to do is do some follow up work to finish for the year.
I opened my eyes this morning with a little panic because I realised that I forgot to post Monday Makers! yesterday. So here is Monday Makers! #13 with a small addition:
Friday 21 is my first blog anniversary; so, I have a little give away to celebrate it. I want to thank my followers for their continuous support with this give away and also welcome the new ones if they wish to become a follower.
Different than a usual fabric or book give away, today I am giving away a pair of earrings from my small jewellery business.
This beautiful piece of jewellery is fully handmade in Turkey with a traditional Turkish technique called "igne oyasi/oya lace". You can see several other examples of jewellery made with this technique here and here. These earrings measure 2.5 inches between the widest points.
You can enter to win twice by 1) commenting on this post and letting me know that you are following my blog on Bloglovin; 2) by commenting on this post on my Facebook page and letting me  know that you "like" my page. 
I will keep the give away open until Saturday midnight AEDT/08:00 EST
Update: I decided to reschedule this giveaway for Monday, 8 December for Sew Mama Sew's biannual give away linky party day. Thank you for your understanding. 
I will create a list of names by combining your names here and on my Facebook page and let the random number generator pick a winner. I will announce the winner on Sunday. Good luck!

Now to Monday Makers!
Please link up your beautiful finishes from last week and your new projects you have started for this week. I am looking forward to visiting your pages!

Here is a bad photo of the list.


The winner is...****drum rolls**** Number 18- KAY!!! Congratulations Kay!!!

Thank you all one more time for participating in the give away. I hope you will come back to my blog again and leave a sweet comment to my posts. Thank you very much!
