A few weeks ago, I posted a photo of a project using the beautiful ‘Tea Garden’ range of fabric by Dena Fishbein. Click HERE if you’d like to see the blog post and refresh your memory. The project is is currently waiting for the spring fair madness to be over, so that I can play with and finish it.
Dena designs for Free Spirit fabrics and her lines are so bright, fresh and utterly happy. If you’d like to see some fabric sweetness, pop on over to the Free Spirit site and look at her designer profile HERE.
Yesterday, I was wandering through a local book store and came across one of Dena Fishbein’s books entitled “Embellish Your Home” and I quickly fell for all of the prettiness inside. I just had to have it! Had to!
So I rocked up to the counter to pay for not one, but two copies of this book. Do you see where I’m going with this??
Yes, you’re right, I bought an extra copy to giveaway to one of you lucky readers. If you’d love the chance to win this book and learn about embellishing your home &/or life, then leave me a comment telling me:

Looks like a beautiful book. I'm working on making my sewing room a pretty room to be in, instead of the basement junk room. The most exciting thing coming up in my life is a job interview!

ReplyDeleteI have a quilting retreat coming up in 2 weeks--I can hardly wait! Now if I can just decide on a project...
ReplyDeleteI am currently sleep training my almost 9 month old, so my sewing is on hold. But I have two quilts in progress and I want to make an apron. I just signed up for a new swap on Flickr, too. I just found a tutorial for an apron I want to make, too.
ReplyDeleteI liked the post from Boutique Uniquely on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteOH I'm matron of honour for my friends' wedding on Sunday. That's pretty well preoccupying my time right now. Thanks for a chance to win this lovely book.
ReplyDeleteI'm spring cleaning, yes on the last day of winter, got bags out of the lined cupboard, now im working on my craft things, sorting and packaging them up in to ufo's handy to grab.
ReplyDeleteIf feels so good to be able to open the dorrs and see where things are instead of having to move a million things to get to them.
I am trying to figure out how to combine a guest room and study as baby #4 is on the way. Would love to make the space less like a study and more like a gorgeous room - with embellishments!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to get the paint brushes out this next few months to paint in our part to brighten it up as at the moment we have half of it with brown wood walls. So having this book would give me some wonderful ideas :) Thanks for the chance to win it. Hugs Vicki x
ReplyDeleteMy eldest daughter has her first job interview on Friday after graduating this summer - fingers crossed!

ReplyDeleteI'm looking to redo our bedroom and need some ideas-this book looks fantastic. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteour next project is a built-in-wardrobe and then extending the ensuite using the space from the old walk in robe,this book would come in handy so much,so thankyou for a chance to win this lovely book.
ReplyDeleteOh I would love someone to come and paint the outside of our home or else I will have to do it. Thanks for the chance to win a great book.
ReplyDeleteHappy days.
Bev.xoxo

I need to start a tablerunner for my sister's birthday in Nov. She was here this summer and piled up a few of my fabrics that she liked, so I'm thinking of a keyhole pattern..she is sort of contemperary in her tastes. After that,it is start on Christmas things...a selvage purse for DIL; journal covers for grandkids; a tree skirt for other DIL...the list is almost endless! :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a better eye for seeing what my home needs to make it wonderful, so I rely on other people's ideas to get me going. I'd love to see that book!
I'm going to NZ at the end of February - first time for five years. Will be taking with me a candlewicked "Crinoline Ladies" quilt for my grandaughter, Elissa, and a stringed quilt for my grandson, Ciarn. Thank you for the opportunity for your give away, Anorina. It would be lovely to win it - have just moved into a new unit, would love have ideas for decoration.

ReplyDeleteI'm excited about teaching my first ever quilting class at Creative Craft Retreat in October. A bit of a challenge but with a guaranteed nice group of students. Not exactly a project around my home but we'll be making a quilt for each of their homes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.
And I tweeted...
