Giveaway news



Super duper 8,000 likes giveaway over on Facebook!

www.facebook.com@ButtonFayre




If you're like me then you'll know what it's like to fit a full time job around family but I love it so much and I think I'm giving my children some good life's lessons too about being organised, running a business from home, having patience, time skills, and general happiness in the household because good old Mum's doing what she loves.

I've been feeling really quite overwhelmed for a few weeks now and even more so recently since reaching 8,000 likes on Button Fayre's Facebook page.  It was only a month ago that I reached 7,000 likes and I'm only now sewing up a family tree cushion for the wonderfully patient lady who won it because I've been fitting orders in too of course.  So, whilst sewing up a 7,000 like giveaway prize I'd decided to run another wonderful giveaway to celebrate reaching 8,000 likes and decided upon a freestyle, freehand machine embroidered piece. 
As you can see in the above photos, those two pieces couldn't be more different in design and texture and so I can't wait to see what theme the winner comes up with, just so that I can push myself into a new challenge and find out what I can accomplish.  Doing giveaway's for me is mostly about being given challenges, setting goals to see if I can stick to them and getting to know what potential clients like, I love it.

If you'd like to enter this latest giveaway then head on over to Button Fayre's page, link above, and allow me the pleasure of a new challenge.

I've also recently been involved in another giveaway, a really massive joint one which went super well and I'm currently involved in another joint giveaway, details on Button Fayre's Facebook page, where I had to design a woodland themed item and so came up with this, a gorgeous toadstool Christmas stocking.  The stocking was appliquéd, freehand machine embroidered, and hand painted to give it a uniquely special handmade feel and I hope the winner loves it.....plenty of time to enter this one as it only started yesterday.



I love twisting and turning the ' norm ' into something different and magical and so these toadstools kind of remind me of Christmas lollipops.

Best of luck to everyone that enters any of the giveaway's and so much is happening right now, so many new designs, that I'll write another blog very, very soon, to tell you all about it.
