41 of 52 - And the winner is......

There were 37 entries for the little giveaway!  And there was a great selection of names for my poor sad sock bear.

And the winner is (randomly picked using Random.org) .......

Tia!!  (who apparently is a Rottweiler) and she said:


I think you should call him Edward Sockbear... after Edward Scissorhands, who was a scarred gentle soul who just wanted to be loved... also he said "I am not complete" and the sock he was made from was flawed... besides the movie makes me cry and Sockbear deserves his happy ending :)


So Edward Sockbear it is!!  Check your emails Tia and send me your address :)


Thanks to everyone who entered and shared the blog post.

8 of 52 - And the winner is.....

My very first giveaway has been a huge success. There were lots of entries from all over the world which was very exciting!

So the winner is NorthStar (Jill), who left a comment on my blog. Jill has a fab blog and Etsy shop that you should all take a look at.

She's still new to Etsy but will have some fab new quilts in the future. Here are some of her past designs:

Look at how intricate they are!

The runners up prizes go to
