in fun,sewing & crafts

To those who came from Blissfully Domestic, thanks for stopping by… :)

I’m stoked to announce the grand opening of my Etsy shop, Goodies by Gidget!! I’m just getting it up and running so I’ll be adding items gradually. My very-talented mom is also going to be contributing to the shop. In honor of this exciting event, I’m hosting my first ever giveaway here on Gidget Goes Home.

One lucky reader will win… from my Etsy shop:

  • a bib (reversible!) & burpie gift set (choice of boy or girl design)

  • one of my mom’s homemade Pack’n'Play sheets (should work with most brands of playards- measures 27″ x 38″) in this silly fabric (these will be in the shop soon!)
  • a super swell insulated coffee sleeve (these will also be in the shop for purchase soon!)

And as a fun bonus, something from my favorite mommy-blogger:

  • a free copy of Simple Mom‘s awesome e-book, Spring Cleaning for Normal People (the Lord knows I need to start reading this with all the blogging and crafting I’ve been doing lately!)
  • spring cleaning

How to enter:

Winner will be chosen randomly; you get 1 entry for each of these things you do with a total of 3 possible per person. Make sure you leave a comment for each of your entries (i.e. 1 telling me you subscribed, 1 with the link to your blog, etc.).

  1. Leave a comment telling me your favorite Etsy seller or your Etsy shop’s name (or just tell me your favorite craft to do if you’re new to etsy).
  2. Leave a comment telling me you subscribed to my blog via RSS or via email (if you already subscribe you can post a comment telling me that).
  3. Leave a comment with a link to your blog, where you mention this giveaway.

That’s it! Buena suerte… good luck!

The giveaway will end on Wednesday, September 17th, 2008 @midnight, mountain time.
Winner will be announced shortly thereafter!

P.S. pssst… Mrs. Fussypants is also giving away a copy of Simple Mom’s book!!

I don’t have a favorite Etsy shop, but I do love to sew myself, and love hand-sewn items. A friend is having a grandbaby, and I would love to win this!

I just subscribed and then ran across the giveaway. Not sure what an Etsy shop is but I love to scrapbook and recently started checking out the “blogging” world.

Hi, Nicole!!!
I just subscribed by email! And I don’t have a favorite etsy – it will probably be yours (I don’t know what “etsy” exactly is) But I like to scrapbook (or did before two children and a new house) and my favorite craft I ever did was making a memory board for the wall (with the help of my cousin) I mentioned this giveaway on my blog http://www.4daleys@blogpot.com

I am just new to sewing. I have also made similar burp cloths but don’t have an etsy store. I probably won’t for a long, long time as my skills need to improve greatly!

There are SO MANY cool etsy shops. I have 4 pages of shops listed as favs on etsy… but my first shop marked as a favorite is still up there: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5317715 . Sarah Jane Studios – beautiful and classic drawings of children.

Congrats on your new etsy shop! I’ll hop over and check it out!

I don’t have a favorite Etsy, but my latest obsession is with vintage style aprons, so I do scroll through Etsy shops that offer those. I subscribed to your feed through Google Reader, but I don’t have a personal blog to link to you. I hope I can still enter the contest. Thanks!

I don’t have a favorite etsy shop, I have seen a few but have never ordered from one yet. However I love to crochet (even though I’m not that great) and have recently just started sewing. I inherited a nice sewing machine and a ton of fabric, good Lord there is a ton of fabric.

I have to stay away from etsy or the whole day will pass me by while I browse!

I love the name Goodies by Gidget and the logo is adorable; you’ve been busy!

One of my favorite Etsy buys has actually been from Simple Mom’s store, Chickpea Designs. I got my Christmas card designed there last year and everyone raved about it. I will definitely be a return customer!!

I’m new to etsy, so no faves yet. But right now my favorite “craft” would have to be cross-stitching. Takes me back to my early years when I would cross-stitch with my mom. It’s so relaxing to me.
