Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Time!


I'm super excited to be part of this giveaway again this time around! Last time I was lucky enough to win two prizes as well as give a lovely family some sweet little hair flowers! This time however, I know what you really want and it's not flowers! I'm giving you something really fantastic.... I'm offering up some fabric from my stash!!

Lucky winner gets a half yard of:


Yup! That's Amy Butlers Soul Blossoms Passion Lilly in Mulberry!

They will also receive a collection of other fabrics that I have stashed around in my shelves but I'd rather ask them what they like to sew before I randomly pull things! Do you like flannel? Cottons to quilt with? Let me know! HINT: You'll love what I have stashed away because I'm a Michael Miller fanatic!

Here's how to enter:

1. Fan me on Facebook
2. Follow me on this blog
3. Leave a comment below telling me you did those two things (if you are not on facebook just follow my blog!) and tell me a funny joke because my husband is going to pick the winner based on the best joke!

GOOD LUCK!

Edited to add: This closes at MIDNIGHT on THURSDAY the 26th, 2011! I'll announce the winner sometime on the 27th :)

Edited to add again...  Sorry if you could not comment! I have fixed my comment settings and it should allow you to comment now if you don't have a google/blogger account. If you are an anonymous user, make sure to include your email address so I can let you know if you've won! I'll extend my deadline by an extra date so you can still get in on the fabrics!!!

  2. ok - I am not sure if I'm to leave three comments or one? I am a follower of your blog and a fan on FB.

    My Joke:
    A man found a bottle on the beach and he rubbed it. A genie appeared in a cloud of smoke. “What do you wish, master?” The man thought a while and since he and his wife were having some problems he said, “Make my wife love me as much as the day we were married.” Immediately the genie turned him into a pile of fat quarters.”

  11. So I just become a facebook fan! Love your blog, I love Michael Miller too! I just bought the Amy Butler book for sewing bags, I'm so inspired and excited to get started, this would be perfect: K, here is my joke:

    "Well, there was this blonde who was sick and tired of all the blonde jokes. So one evening she went home and memorized all the state capitals.

    Back in the office the next day, some guy started telling a dumb blonde joke. She interrupted him with a shrill announcement,

    "I've had it up to here with these blonde jokes. I want you to know that this blonde went home last night and did something probably none of you could do...I memorized all the state capitals."

    One of the guys, of course, said "I don't believe you. What is the capital of Nevada?"

    "N", she answered.

  15. Okay, so I'm now following you on FB and following your blog! I'm hoping that your husband is like mine and will enjoy this joke! :)

    Ole and Sven went hunting in the woods and Ole took of to find a tree because he had to "drop a deuce" (cleaning this up a little!)

    It was taking him a long time so he decided to just rest up against a tree and he promptly fell asleep!

    Sven came along to check on him and thought it would be funny to play a prank on poor Ole. So he took the deer guts from the deer he just shot and put them under Ole so that he would think he pooped his guts out and he went back to camp.

    About 30 minutes later Ole comes walking back into camp and says, "Oh Sven! You'll never believe what happened to me! I was taking a dump in the wood and I fell asleep but when I woke up I saw that I had pooped my guts out!"

    To which Sven replied, "NO! You don't say, that's terrible!"

    "Yeah," Ole said, "but don't worry I found a sharp stick and poked 'em all back up there!"

    Okay...I know, that was disgusting! But I don't know a man on Earth that doesn't love that joke!

  16. I am a fan of your FB page and I am now following your blog :)

    Okay, my favorite riddle is this:

    A man is driving on a lone highway when his car breaks down. It starts pouring rain and he has no phone on him, so he squints into the distance and sees a small church. Leaving his broken car behind, he walks for a long time before arriving at the church - soaked. He knocks on the door and a nun answers, and he asks her, "May I have a place to stay? My car broke down way out back and it's raining." The nun sighed and said, "My boss does not allow men in our church to stay." With a pleading look on his face, "Just for one night? I'll clean up after myself - I promise." The nun sighed again and nodded, showed him the way to the room accompanied with a bathroom and left him there. The next morning, he was gone without a word. Later that day the nun's boss checked the room and came back livid, "There was a man here last night."

    How did the boss find out?

  29. Sorry I don't follow on facebook, but I do follow your blog now.

    Since it'll be your husband picking the winner, I guess he might enjoy an edgier joke than my usual Laffy Taffy style joke.

    A man is walking across the beach and sees this tragic lady with no arms and no legs. She cries to him, "My life is so sad. I have no arms, no legs, and I've never been dancing." So, he bends down and dances with her. She stops crying for a second but then cries out, "My life is so sad. I have no arms, no legs, and I've never been kissed." So, he bends down and kisses her. She stops crying for a second but then cries out, "My life is so sad. I have no arms, no legs, and I've never had sex." So, he bends down, throws her in the ocean, and yells, "Well, you're screwed now!"

    I'm not sure this will win me anything-- I tend to not be a joke teller. However, I have a penchant for really dumb jokes, so this is my favorite:

  32. Hello,
    I am following you, like you on FB and here is my joke.

    A newlywed couple moves into their new house. One day the husband comes home from work and his wife says, "Honey, you know, in the upstairs bathroom one of the pipes is leaking, could you fix it?" The husband says, "What do I look like, Mr. Plumber?" A few days go by, and he comes home from work and his wife says, "Honey, the car won't start. I think it needs a new battery. Could you change it for me?" He says: "What do I look like, Mr. Goodwrench?" Another few days go by, and it's raining pretty hard. The wife finds a leak in the roof. She says, "Honey, there's a leak on the roof! Can you please fix it?" He says, "What do I look like, Bob Vila?" The next day the husband comes home, and the roof is fixed. So is the plumbing. So is the car. He asks his wife what happened. "Oh, I had a handyman come in and fix them," she says. "Great! How much is that going to cost me?" he snarls. Wife says: "Nothing. He said he'd do it for free if I either baked him a cake or slept with him." "Uh, well, what kind of cake did you make?" asks the husband. "What do I look like," she says, "Betty Crocker?"

  35. I am now a happy follower - but I don't FB! Here is my attempt at a joke...it is actually true life.
    When my hubby and I were first married, we lived in a tiny cabin. When winter came, we realized that we were sharing our cabin with mice, chipmunks, and other critters who wanted "in" from the cold. (I only minded snakes, and my hubby didn't care for the bat who got in, and when the wood stove warmed things up, the bat relaxed and fell onto hubby's pillow, right in front of his nose.) Back to my story - one night I went into the kitchen and looked in the bread box for the last slice of yummy raisin bread. Gone! I went to hubby with a concerned look on my face and said that the mice were getting much smarter: one must have crept to the bread box and (here I acted it out, too) pushed up the lid with his little paws, to get that bread. My hubby's eyes got wide, and he said "You're kidding....we have to get a trap!" (Remember, we were just married - he didn't know my teasing very well.) Well, I grinned then and couldn't keep it up, and told him I knew it was him that got the bread! I had him going for a minute, tho!

  37. Ok. I am a follower.

    Here is the best joke I could come up with....

    A guy walked into a bar and immediately noticed a young lady at the bar on her own. After a couple of drinks, he decided to offer her a drink and make small talk.
    "What's your name?" he asked.
    "Carmen," she replied.
    "That's a nice name," he said. "Did your mother or father name you that?"
    "Neither," she said. "I changed my name when I was 18 from Sharon to Carmen."
    "Why did you do that?" he asked.
    "Well," she explained, "I like men and I like cars, so that is how I got my name. What's your name?"
    "Beertits," the man replied.

  40. A newly married Irish couple was in a terrible accident where the woman's face was severely burned.

    The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft the skin from her body, so the husband offered to donate some of his own skin.

    However, the only skin on his body that the doctor found suitable would have to come from his rear end.

    The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.

    After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before! All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty!

    One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice..

    She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. There is no way I could ever repay you."

    "My darling," he replied," think nothing of it.. I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."
    thanks for the chance to win! hope you like the joke :-)

  43. Ok, this was the top joke in Australia...

    This woman rushed to see her doctor, looking very much worried and all strung out. She rattles off: “Doctor, take a look at me. When I woke up this morning, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw my hair all wiry and frazzled up, my skin was all wrinkled and pasty, my eyes were bloodshot and bugging out, and I had this corpse-like look on my face! What's WRONG with me, Doctor!?”

    The doctor looks her over for a couple of minutes, then calmly says: “Well, I can tell you that there ain't nothing wrong with your eyesight....”

  45. What a great giveaway! Here's my joke (found on http://singingquilter.wordpress.com/2011/01/24/quilting-jokes/):

    The quilter died and went up to the Pearly Gates. (It doesn’t start well, but it gets better….)  There, she was faced with a choice:  she had lived her life so that she could either go to Heaven, or Hell – her choice.  She was pretty sure this would have all been decided by now, and she was pretty sure where she wanted to go, but she was also a very curious quilter.

    She asked Saint Peter if she could just take a look at what might be awaiting her in Hell.

    They entered a huge room (anyone ever been to the Houston Quilt Festival?  Bigger than that!), with tables and chairs.  There were quite a few pleasant looking quilters sitting everywhere.  But it was what was in the middle of each table that caught her attention:  a wonderful huge pile of fabric.  She thought she’d died and gone to Heaven!!!
    She made up her mind on the spot, and turned to Saint Peter: “I know that Heaven is probably very nice, but I’ve decided that I want to stay here, thank you.”

    As the door closed quietly behind him for all eternity, everyone at the tables turned to her with a smile on their faces and said, with one voice:
    “Did you bring the needles?”

  48. Okie dokie, I'm a newbie follower with google and fb! And here's the joke I found on CleanJokes4U (sorry don't like the dirty ones):

    A new super high tech grocery store recently opened in Orlando, Florida. It has the standard automatic water misters to keep the produce fresh, but just before it mists, one hears the distant sound of thunder and the smell of fresh rain. When one passes the diary freezer, you hear cows mooing and experience the scent of fresh mown hay. Going in the meat department one can smell the aroma of charcoal grilled steaks and barbecued ribs. When you pass the fresh eggs case, you hear hens cluck and cackle, and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of morning eggs and bacon. In the bread department, a tantalizing smell of fresh baked bread and soft warm rolls. But I don't buy my toilet paper there any more.

    Pretty good, right?! I got a kick out of it. Thanks for the great giveaway!

Speaking of picker, I did just remember a joke I heard at Disneyworld, or is it Land (see above deficit in memory). Anyway, at the Monsters Inc Joke factory, they told this joke. I only remember it because my 3 and 5 year old repeat it daily.
