two years, and a pile of fabric for you!


Hello friends! Yesterday was this here blog's second birthday! I just mentioned this to Jared as we were making dinner and he said "really? it's been that long?" I feel the same way. There are so many reasons why I'm thankful for this blog, most of which I've stated before...the opportunity to write, share my crafts (and random thoughts!), how it's reignited my love for photography, everything that I've learned, all the friends I've made, and the constant support and encouragement I get from all of you. I so appreciate that you all take some time out of your own lives to come visit me here.

So, in celebration of this little milestone, I'm offering a little giveaway! I've gone through my fabric stash and culled out five awesome collections of fabric. Each pile is a mixture of vintage/thrifted fabrics and new fabrics. There are small scraps and multiple yard pieces alike. I'm going to give one of them away here, and list the other four for sale over at the shop. Amazingly, even pulling out this much fabric hasn't seemed to make a dent in my stash!

Just leave a comment here by Friday at 5:00pm (Central Time) and I'll announce the winner then. In your comment, let me know which pile you'd like and something that keeps you coming back to this blog. I'm always curious as to what people like about this space (is it the photos? the crafts? the recipes? the ramblings?), that I'd love to hear that from you all.

  1. Yay! Happy two years! Congrats, lady. That's a wonderful milestone. You should be proud.

    Don't put my name in the giveaway - I wouldn't know what to do with all that fabric, and I know there are so many awesome people out there who could make amazing things with it. (Not that I'd win but y'know. One less name = one more chance. =)

    xoxo!

  2. Happy birthday to you, Julia's blog!!!
    I like the recipes, the photos, and the whole idea of the things you put here together. It's like an atmosphere...
    I love the striped pile! And also the flowers on the left upper corner... But those stripes? Maybe are the ones.

  7. congratulations!
    I come over here because you are one of the cool ones, and I'm hoping it will rub off on me:)
    oh, and the baking of course.
    maybe through osmosis I will learn how to bake...
    please don't send me any fabric -I think even one more little bundle will probably collapse our house.

    for some reason that made me laugh.

  8. Two years? I missed some posts! :) Let's see, I love the crafts, the photos, and (this sounds corny) it feels like you are my friend even though we've never met. Yeah. It is corny but true.

  11. Congrats on two years. I just recently found your blog and I like because of the variety. I love cooking, gardening, photography and crafting (though I am not a great crafter yet). I also like that you are in the midwest.

    I would be lucky to win any of those piles. I need scraps to practice my limited sewing skills. I am getting there!

  12. I love when you talk about MN, because I miss it. And of course all the things that you sew. Put my name in the hat for the blue pile for sure.

  13. Congrats! I like the pile in the top right corner. I love the photos. I like checking in here because I lived in MN for three years and miss it sometimes. The photos are a nice reminder.
