KreaDoe – tickets: the winners!

Thank you all so much for joining in the KreaDoe giveaway!
Yesterday the trusted ‘random number generator’ picked two winners: Marijke Oepts and Antoinette Vissers. Congrats, girls – please dm/pm, or email me (marianne@marrose-ccc.com) your addresses, so I can get those tickets to you in the mail asap.
Have great fun at the fair next week!

I’ve decided to prolong the pincushion giveaway just a little longer, giving you a bit more time to win these two:
In case you missed this: all you have to do is comment here, on Facebook and/or Instagram (and you could enter on all three to increase your odds of winning), and let me know which pincushion you like best – it’s as simple as that. If you’ve done so on my previous post, you’re already “in”!
I’ll ship to anywhere in the world – giveaway closes Sunday, October 25, 2015 (20:00 gmt+1). Good luck!

This week was a busy, mainly non-crafty week ….. I managed to make some progress on Carter’s Chevron Blanket, prepare a little crochet gift (can’t show you yet), as well as make another cute little photo frame (link to pattern in this post).
Today, however, will ALL be about crochet – yay!
Together with some crocheting bloggers/ig-ers I’ve been invited to another one of Lisanne‘s Crochet Parties, and I’m soooo looking forward to that (more on the first “Crochet Party”, here).
This time it’s held in “Knotten” in Delft, and I’m told we’re going to delve into Lana Grossa‘s wonderful world of yarny goodness.
Are you familiar with this brand? I’ve worked with Lana Grossa once before – my “Rosebud Shawl” – and truly loved the softness and high quality of that particular yarn (365 Cotone).
Expectations are high! And, of course, I’ll report here soon!

Wishing you a wonderful Saturday,
love,

KreaDoe – Triangle Pincushions

Recently I told you about my exciting new part-time job as blogger for the biggest Dutch Craft Fair, KreaDoe. In my first blog post for them I shared my “Yarn Ends Bowl” (Dutch diy here) the second one that has just gone live on KreaDoe’s site is how to make your own triangle pincushion (English tutorial here – Dutch how-to here).

These pincushions are another favorite project of mine – a rather quick make, and a cute little gift. We all sew sometimes don’t we, and we all need a pincushion to keep those pins from going to dangerous places…..
Whenever I plan on gifting one myself, I do like to personalize them as much as I can, as you can see here ….
The last one I personalized is this one ….. I’m sure that’s no surprise ….;):
I also made a couple of new ones, and if you’d like to win one, please leave a comment below (also letting me know which one you’d prefer: the orange/mint, or the soft peach).
And….. that’s not all you can win this time around: KreaDoe’s allowing me to give away TWO TICKETS for the craft fair: woohoo!
Again, all you have to do is let me know in the comments whether you’d like to be eligible to win these – winners for both the pincushions, and the tickets will be drawn on Thursday October 22, 2015, and I’ll let you know here, on my Instagram and Facebook page! Tip: you could increase your chances to win, by entering over there as well!

Good luck!
Love,
Marianne xx
