we have a winner ....

Oh my ....

someone will be very happy

and others disappointed

Well that's the way it is, with this kind of thing

(maybe lucky another time !)

This super November moon

will go to :

who lives in Sweden

(or is it Finland ?)

Dear Emileitha,

send me an email with your address !

(that was yesterday evening, but I didn't

have time to post it .... so today it is !)

After making all these

Pink Ribbon textile jewels

I finally found time to make the BLUE earrings

that I wanted for a long time.

I have LOTS of earrings,

but not the blue I wanted

...

Yeaaaaah !

Of course the back is some tiny bit of Kaffe Fassett !

(that's the problem with making things yourself : 

most of the time,

you are the last person in line !!!)

*

Ohhhhh 

and now I have two more felting exchange pieces to make

Might finish them just before it all ends  

"your" full moon, maybe ... ???

Ohhhhh

I mentioned it a month ago :

October is my Blogaversary month !

But, as it was also my Pink Ribbon challenge month

the giveaway I promised

never got done

sorry

...

But, as they say :

better late than never !

Because the Textile Jewel ideas are still popping

I came up with this

(appropriate I think, with tomorrow being a full moon !)

A white felt brooch

with thirteen sequin-moons

(a whole year blogging "plus", six now years ...)

some white silk, some silver, a tiny bit of gold even

and variegated pastel French knots.

"FULL  MOON "

the making of ...

This  giveaway  can be for you !

Yes, really !

Just leave a comment under this post ...

You may be a blogging-friend for years

or

you may just have found me,

it doesn't matter,

leave a comment and join in

...

Next Sunday I'll draw a winner,

and wherever you live

this FULL  MOON  comes to you !

*

As a matter of fact I started with something else first

for this giveaway, but as I was working on that

it came to me that it had to be going

somewhere else,

it will travel to some really sad people

and I hope it helps them a bit

with their sorrow.

*

a very big THANK YOU

It took some time

but

I finally have the result of my

PINK RIBBON challenge of October :

€ 450,-

That was the donation I could make today

to Aerdenhout and two more to Karlsruhe, Germany,

and then one more fish will be brought in person)

for buying and for some extra donation !

Here is one of the last Pink Ribbon textile jewels I made

Not a  pendant this time, but a brooch.

Last week I received a surprise envelope

from my dear friend Doris !

(she said, she had "something" for me ...)

THANK  YOU soooooo much, Doris !

for this wonderful green/blue variegated silk thread

I had to use it right away :

I used it for the feather stitch on that last fish ...

and it's great to work with !

these are still left ...

I had to say that I still had left

five

of my Pink Ribbon Textile Jewels,

so just before dinner I put these five on FB

and intended to put them here too

.....

But right now

I only have three Jewels left !

Thank you Simone,

for being such a wonderful buyer !

Now two Jewels will go with you as presents

when you go visit the US shortly !

So here are the three

that have been "forgotten" until now

Each one of these make a lovely gift to someone !

€ 10

and one of them is yours

to give to a dear friend, sister, mother

...

I want to donate as much money to the Pink Ribbon Fund as I can !
