With Spring just around the corner, we're thinking it's time to start some Easter crafting. Fortunately, the folks at Prairie Point Junction (you may know it as Wool Felt Central), not only agrees with us, but want to help get us started. YAY!

Julie, the lovely owner, is sharing 2 of the Felt Easter Sugar Cookie Kits with our readers.

The kits include the pattern by Prairie Point Junction and 1/2 yard of Buttercream felt, plus 9" x 12" pieces each of Baby Blue, Periwinkle, Robin's Egg, Cotton Candy, Mellow Yellow, Peas Soup, White, Pumpkin Spice, Light Brown, and Driftwood. The felt will make at least two of each of the 12 designs. There are also 12 skeins of DMC floss in coordinating colors so you have everything you need for this project.

These adorable felt sugar cookies can be used stacked on a plate for decoration, turned into ornaments to be hung in a spring tree, or as a delightful addition to a wee one's play kitchen.

To enter this contest, simply pop over to Prairie Point Junction, and wander through their extensive collection of unique felt patterns and kits. Be warned... there are billions of lovelies to look at so you might be there a while! Okay... billions is an exaggeration, but they have lots! Then come back here, and leave a comment telling us about your favorite discovery. 

The contest runs from today, Wednesday, February 15 through Sunday, February 19th, at 9:00 p.m. EST when 2 winners will be chosen at random. Note: Winners then have 1 week to contact us with their snail mail address or a new winner will be drawn.

Good luck to everyone. This is such a lovely giveaway, and as always, we are very grateful to Julie for her generosity :) Now... head on over to Prairie Point Junction and check out their patterns and kits. If you've never been there before, prepare to be wowed!

EDIT: This giveaway is now closed. The winner will be announced 1/28/2012. Thank you A Child's Dream and to everyone that entered :)

EDIT: Oops... failed to mentioned, awesome Debbie will ship overseas, so EVERYONE is invited to enter :)

I read all the time, but my favorite times to indulge in a good book are in the dead of winter, curled up by a blazing fire, or while off on summer vacation, near the water, without a care in the world. So... whether you are bundled up here in the northern hemisphere or lounging on a beach in the south hemisphere, this is the perfect time of year for a book giveaway!

Debbie, from A Child's Dream, was kind enough to donate, what has become one of my favorite crafting books. I was given Crafts Through the Year by Thomas and Petra Berger for Christmas. I have other books by them, and have found inspiration in them all. I especially love this book because it takes us through a whole year of crafting delight for you and the wee ones in your life.

The book is divided into seasons. There will undoubtedly be some crafts that you already are familiar with, but others that may be new and inspiring. Here are just a few of the projects you will be able to make.

Crafts Through the Year is a MUST have for anyone that has wee ones in their life or is influenced by the seasons, and wants to surround themselves with natural beauty. So... what do you need to do to enter? Simply wander around A Child's Dream and let us know what other books you'd like to add to your library. Make sure you look through all of the sections. There are books hither and yon throughout the shop. You won't want to miss looking at any of them!

The contest runs from today, Tuesday, January 24 through Friday, January 27 at 9:00 p.m. EST. Then, a name will be drawn at random. (The lucky winner has 1 week to contact us with a snail mail address or a new winner will be selected.)

In order to make everyone a winner, A Child's Dream is offering everyone a 10% discount on anything ordered from January 24 thru January 29. That's 2 days after the contest is over... in case you are feeling extra special lucky and want to see if you win before you place an order :) Simply type in WEEFOLK in the coupon code to save 10%.

Trust me when I tell you... you want, nay, NEED this book :) And Thank you so much, Debbie, for this wonderful giveaway. Good luck to one and all, now scurry over to A Child's Dream and check out their awesome books! (Oh, yes, be sure to look at all the other cool stuff in her shop, too :)

 

Now, on to the winner:

Congratulations, Joey! Just email us at weefolkart@yahoo.com with your home address, and we will send it along to Sarah's Silk, and you'll have your new Starry Night Silk Scape in time for the holidays! You have 1 week to contact us or a new winner will be drawn.

Thanks, again, Sarah, for sponsoring this wonderful giveaway. We are so delighted you are now apart of the Wee Folk Art family!

EDIT: This giveaway is now closed. The winner will be announced Monday, November 28. Good luck to all :)

A few weeks ago we had a lovely new sponsor quietly join our family... Sarah's Silk. Actually, Sarah isn't new to Wee Folk Art. She hosted a wonderful giveaway last spring. But now, she has a permanent spot on our blog, so whenever you are HERE, you are just one button push away from visiting her wonderful shop :)

Very often interviews are done to introduce sponsors. Since we already did that in the spring (you can read about that HERE), we thought we would do something a little different. Sarah sent us one of her Starry Night Silk Scapes to test drive. We had 3 very eager guinea pigs! Below are a few of the ways they incorporated the silk scape into their play...  

Indoors... by draping it over their play stand, they created a lovely reading nook. That night they read books under the stars, using flashlights to read by. Camping indoors... totally awesome :)

Michelle decided SHE had the perfect spot for the new silk scape... flowing over a window! I love silks on windows!

Silk Scapes also make beautiful table clothes. We also have Sarah's Rainbow Silk Scape that is used everyday!

Or, can you jump over it?

If you "miss", it's your turn to hold an end of the Silk Scape, but that is just as much fun :)

And, just because it feels so good, you can run... trailing a trail of silk behind you!

Silks are an important part of the wee one's daily play. They present endless opportunities for open ended play. From the large silk scapes down to the mini silks, children will find ways to incorporate them into their play. As a matter of fact, the last time the Little Lady was here, her favorite toy at Gammy's was the silks. Even before heading for home, Meghan placed an order for their own stash of silks. I was sent these pics shortly after their visit. I am told she is seldom without a silk :)

Obviously, we are humongous fans of Sarah's Silks. Here's one of the ways that I like to display/store my silks. I change them out with the seasons.

So, after singing the praises of silks... I bet you want your own (if you don't have any) or more (if you do :) Luckily, Sarah is hosting a giveaway. YAY! One lucky winner will receive their very own Starry Night Silk Scape!
