I am starting a Review line!

I am starting a review line with giveaways all the way through. This review line will be all about crafting, scrapbooking, beads, jewelry, crochet, knitting...Etc.
It Will be great fun each store or new product...Each website or new design will be put to the test and a Review will be called, with that a giveaway will be put to order. The only thing I ask is that you follow along and see what new stuff there is to do out there. Why sit around and do nothing when you can make something FAB!!!
First up on the Blog will Be from the Fire Mountain Gems Website. I plan on Writing a Review From the moment I enter the website to the purchase to the time it took to arrive and then to he project part. If it is something I created with it or if it was something I followed insturctions. Who doesnt like knowing before they buy something it worth it.
My rating for the store will be shown buttons. If the store/ Item was worth it it will get a Ten button award if it sucked totally it will get a 1 button score. If the item/store gets a 4 button review or higher I will giveaway a second of the Item/GC for the store. If I didnt give the store a good mark the second prize will sit in wait for the New Year special....
The New Year Special will be entirly filled with a ton of stuff. Everything that did not pass the Button Review and stuff that I threw in that there was extra. It will be a box of Beyond Joy! One winner but the prize could range form $100 to $500 worth of crafting fun!
If you are intrested in wanting to know when my Review begin and Giveaways end then Follow on twitter: No_Fret_Bead Sign up for my RSS, and follow my Blog. Its that easy to know when something knew in fun will be here waiting for your taking.
Last but not least do not be afraid to Request a Review done of a store you know or a product you would like tested and reviewed on, it is important to help those who want something not waste their money rather listening to a fake tv ad. Do not be afraid to have your own store looked upon. The deal though is that it has to be A Crafting, Hobbie type thing. That is all I will do because thats what I love. Do what you are good at right? (Cooking is ok too)

Anyways, Lets have some fun with this and Join me and my mini team (Evan, Emma, Bella, and Rose my kids) as we do some arts and fun with the family.

Baby Shower Gift

So I am working, well I worked, Hard on a recieving blanket and matching burp rag. It was tons of fun. Hint when you are doing ribbon edging it works good if you iron the ribbon in half first and have lots and lots and lots of pins.

I didn't really have tons of money for new stuff so its kinda like a scrap fabric and ribbon set. I think it came out good. Even with a mishap bow that didnt come out right. I hope my husbands boss's granddaughter love it. I went for her theme with animals doing a design with Noahs ark. Dont know about the religious views but I think it is still cute.

I love how dark it is with the crea/white off setting and then a blue to pop out the colors in the fabric. It helps lighten it up with darker tones. I used a off silk for the back so one side really soft the other really silky. I remember when my son was born his favorite blanket was this one with a silky back and a velvet like top with this big ribbon all the way around. That is where I went with it.

I did notice however that next time I will take alittle more time making the edges all line up better.

The burp rag is actually thicker than the blanket for reasons of the filling so that way it can hold up to well duh spit up.

Heres a few pictures tell me what you think. I want to make a little rattle toy later. If I get good at my sewing sooner or later I will start posting them on my website. I still realized that I am really into clothing more than I am into simple sewing. Maybe because I always take my sweet time with clothes because I want the seams and everything perfect. Miss perfection here.....

Anyways I think I will make a girly one next as a giveaway. I have lots of girl fabric. Maybe I will do a poll and see what people vote from the fabric choices....Go by peoples choice make it and put it up for a giveaway. With matching burp rag.....Sounds like fun stay tuned for more info on that.
